Any flyfishing raft guys? looking to buy one

[Ashy Larry]

Rafts are extremely easy to get on/off a trailer so the height doesn’t make a huge difference. I never get my trailer deck wet.

Would you guys take a raft trailer like this KS to CO or WY multiple times a year?

• 2200# Rubber torsion axle - No brakes - Easy lube hubs
• ST175/80R 13 Tires (1360# cap/tire)
• 13" steel wheels - 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern

I have no experience with trailers with these little wheels...do they just kinda burn up faster? Go through hubs/bearings a bunch? I don't mind increased preventative maintenance, but don't want unpredictable failures.

Well I did it. Ordered a RMR raft with a NRS frame today as the used market kinda dried up headed into spring. You only live once and you can't take it with you. Thanks to those that posted good information in this thread.

hell yeah, I took my RMR out fishing this last weekend and are planning a multi-day fishing trip with some buddies for memorial weekend.

I don't know the story, just floated by.
This is what not to do.

I saw those people on the side of the river when that happened. I was like "how? There's one freaking rock in the river and you hit it".
