Nice day on the water!

Jeremy Thanks for sharing your video. Have you ever tried using the OSG oar holders that strap on the side of the raft. I have a pair and they work great. It allows you to keep the front of your raft clean. I have a ClearWater and love it. It is the Fat Man's Cadillac on the river. Cheers

I have them also. I feel like the oars grab the water and it is harder to maneuver with fins. I use them more on bigger slower water, they also add stability.

How is it hopping back on the taller seat? Especially if you standing in knee to mid thigh water. Boat looks great other wise.

I'm wondering the same thing Especially important if you are wearing waders, got to be able to get back up into that seat

Are you satisfied with the durability of the raft material? I was hoping it was 2000 denier not 1000. Has it held up well for you? Great video!!

I have an Outcast Stealth Pro and several float tubes. With the higher seat on the Clearwater, how does it compare using fins when you want to put the oars down in slower currents or on a lake in some wind? Seems like it would be a little high off the water to comfortably rely on fin control.

Actually kicks pretty well! Well enough to keep the boat pointed where you want on rivers. If it starts getting radical I pull my feet out of the water and grab the oars. I feel like it kicks better than a float tube on still water because here is less of me in the water which cuts down drag.

Man I need to know more about this raft. How would it work in heavier water, where I’d be going only has one rapid that is class 2+ depending on flow? How’s the stability? How’s the strength for really cranking down on the oars?

I would have zero concerns for any of your questions. This spring I was floating the same river double the flow. Super stable and I have bounced off rocks.

Seeing how you fish in such shallow waters (not to mention the hassle of having to retrieve the boat at the end), would you not be better off if you just waded?

Did you consider any other options on the market (WaterMaster, et cetera) before selecting that Outcast model?

I was looking at all the options, including the Maxxon at a reasonable price. I think I made the right choice. Can’t imagine a better option.
