2022 SOTAR Liquid SL 14' Custom

This boat has never been on the water - it was used in prototyping a monocoque rowing platform and then stored.  It has a righteous custom color scheme to go along with a customized design (the diminishing tubes are slightly larger aft, to provide more buoyancy while getting the space benefits of the smaller tubes at the front of the raft) and the remaining factory warranty to go with the bomber reputation and build quality the folks in Merlin, Oregon are known for.  Buy it without the frame (it includes 4 thwarts if you want to paddle) or add a 4 bay NRS frame and turn it into the coolest boat on the Middle Fork (well, maybe the sweeps are a little cooler, but this one is a lot easier to ferry).  Here's what SOTAR says about the SL:

The SL’s small water footprint makes this raft super maneuverable and quickly able to get to where you want to go.  Diminished tubes give more internal space and kick for fun, splashy rides. In smaller sizes, the SL is a popular play and creek boat for paddlers, and it makes a great river or excursion boat as one moves up in length.
