Initial Review + Updates
Zac E.•September 20, 2018
I will be updating this review as I use the raft more and more and as I build her up to the Ocoee Olympic Course (class IV & V)
+ Let me start by saying that this raft is amazing for the price point. I could have gotten a cheaper raft off Alibaba, but I really didn't want to go through the trouble of import and shipping. BRIS takes care of everything, the import, shipping, and the fees are built into the price of the boat.
SET-UP / FIRST IMPRESSION -
The boat comes in large box with two oars, a foot pump, the actual boat, two thwarts, 1 thick rope around the length of the boat, 4 smaller ropes to attach the thwarts the the outside shafts, a small repair kit, 1 carrying bag for boat, and the instructions.
First, the instructions are to the wrong boat. This was mentioned in another review for a BRIS raft of another size, so I think that this is common. The raft comes covered in the bag carrying case. I took the raft out and examined the folded raft so I would know how to re-fold it for storage. I then worked the bag around it and managed to break off the two side flaps to the bag because I pulled the handles the wrong way so they were pulling against the seam. Be careful to not do that. (basically just use common sense.)
Next I layed the raft out and started to inflate. Airing up the raft with just the foot pump would take about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, so I definitely recommend you have a battery or 12v powered pump. The pump did not have enough power to fully inflate the tubes so I used the foot pump to finish them off. I inflated the tubes until they were very taught, to the point where they felt solid and would not bend in big rapids.
One thing to note is that you need to fill the raft up INCREMENTALLY so that the floor can inflate under the tubes.
Once everything is inflated, the floor is incredibly tightly pressed against the sides of the raft. The only place where water will be able to escape is from the curved bow and stern. Something I am going to try is to put a ratchet strap around the middle of the boat and pull the sides in a bit so water will be able to drain out.
Overall, other than the drainage problem, I am very excited with this purchase. The material seems to be really good, and the raft inflated to a very very sturdy level. I'm excited to use this, we will be taking it down the upper Chattahoochee tomorrow which has some really shallow spots and one lower class II.
+ I promise that my lab is happy, she was just annoyed I woke her up so I could see if she could walk around the boat without damaging it.
((Side note - the material is definately strong enough so that my dogs (black lab and beagle) will be able to raft alongside my dad and I.))

Mobility (first impressions)
Let me start by saying that this boat is a lot easier to transport than I originally thought. However, this is not a one person thing. You will always need at least two people. Not only is it more fun that way, it's also 100% safer. To start, I went to Walmart and bought 4 light duty ratchet straps so I would be able to tie it down to the roof of my car. We put it on top and attached the front handle to the hood latch, and the back handle to the undercarriage. We then threaded the ratchet straps around the side roll cage on either side. (open the front and back doors of your car and its the bar that connects in the middle of the two doors.) I tried to keep the car under 45mph just because it was a short trip, and for a longer trip I would definitely completely deflate it and use the carry back to pack it in my trunk. We then took two cars to the point where we were going to end up and then one of us left one car there and we both headed up to our start point in the car with the raft on top of it. (Keep in mind both cars were relatively small. One was a 2013 Ford Fusion and the other was a 2017 Nissan Leaf.)
The transport of the boat relatively easy and can be handled by two people.
FIRST RIVER RUN (CLASS II - LOW DIFFICULTY)

The boat floats incredibly well and was very very stable with two people (210 lb. 6' 7" guy and 240 lb 6' 2") We put the heavier of us on the back to control the steering and I sat up front to give us the power. I found that the best seating for two on this boat is one in the back steering from the left side and one in the front giving power on the right side. The first mile of this short river (Chattahoochee, Georgia, from Buford Damn Park to Settles Bridge Park ~ 2.5 - 3 miles) is very very shallow, at about an average of two feet in depth, there were areas that we really had to work together to spot potential rock stops and rubs. Bear in mind that this is the first time I have ever owned a whitewater raft, but the steering is virtually 90% up to the person in the back of the boat.
** We has some good hits against rock that completely stopped up, and the bottom of the boat showed very little to no physical damage. There were some light marks on the bottom, but no chunks taken out of the plastic. **
We also took a cooler (Ozark Trail 52-Quart Cooler) full of soda, water, ice and snacks with us that weighed about 25 pounds. It fit perfectly in the middle of the boat.
When we got to the boats first rapids (class II) the boat, who's name has still yet to be determined) handled it amazingly well. There was very little chance that we would have flipped, there was almost no water that splashed up into the boat, you could take this thing down backwards, sideways, anything and I'm confident it would not flip.
