I am posting this for a friend. He is getting out of the guide business due to a injury and surgery.
Here is a description:
This Cataraft is a combination of two Star tubes and a Downriver Equipment Fishing frame. The Star Inflatables brand tubes (Star C16-ST) are 16 feet long by 25 inches in diameter. They are made of 1100 ounce denier PVC and can carry huge loads while drafting only 4-5 inches. They are Outfitter Green. These tubes feature Leafield inflation valves, sewn in carry handles and strap rings. There is a hard rubber skid plate on the bottom of each tube and they allow the craft to glide over rocks and obstructions effortlessly without tube damage. The fishing frame is a Downriver Equipment brand Catfish X3 model. It also includes optional captains foot-rest, rear seat foot-rest, anchor system including rope and anchor, rear thigh brace with horns, padded high-back captains seat which is removable to make a camp chair, vertical rod holders, 3 mesh drink holders, solid brass open-end oarlocks, covered storage area and 72 quart cooler. It is all diamond plate floored and made of T6 grade 1.9 inch OD anodized aluminum pipe. Totally “bomb-proof”. This awesome fishing rig also comes with 2 (two) nine foot Extra Heavy Duty 1& 7/8 inch fiberglass Carlisle oars with Carlisle Outfitter Series blades, counter-weights and oar sleeves. There is also and extra oar exactly like the main oars strapped on for emergencies for a total of three oars. There is also a Metro brand “Magic Air” 12 volt jet tube inflator, double action hand pump, 3 life vests, all tube straps, extra straps and dry storage box. Also includes a portable 12 volt remote control 2000 pound winch for loading onto trailer with ease, tube repair kit, extra pvc material and glue, tool kit with valve tool all on a heavy duty single axle cataraft trailer with tongue lock. This rig is three years old and has been used by a professional guide service and has logged only about 40 full day trips. It is in “very good” to “excellent” condition. The tubes hold air perfectly. The frame is in nearly “showroom” condition, still having the factory stickers on it. The craft has always been stored under cover when not in use. Weight of the rig is approximately 300 pounds. This unit costs well over 5500 dollars new. Asking price…$2750. Please call 423-967-8916 or 423-963-1650. Located in Bristol, Tn. Email is fishwhipper@charter.net
