- Thank you for your review, what a great photo as well! We are happy to hear you're loving the upgrade in size, that's one heck of a rowing setup as well.
The all new 2023 13'6" Saturn Triton Self-Bailing Whitewater Raft is the bomb and will likely soon become our best selling whitewater raft across the board. It represents our most stable, all around whitewater raft perfectly suited for big whitewater and heavy gear loads. We produced this custom designed 13'6" length x 6'8" width to provide the perfect size for day trips, 3-night river trips, and fishing adventures. The custom 60" center-to-center width and beefed up 20" diameter tubes was customized specifically for our 60" wide NRS frames. Also, check out this awesome video which outlines our typical NRS 3-Seat Guide Fishing Frame Package (picture shown below on the trailer) and each individual component of the package.
The "Triton" series includes upgraded German Mehler PVC, heat-welded seams/accessories, Leafield D7 inflation valves, Leafield A6 pressure relief valves, an extra layer 1.2mm PVC floor protection, extremely rigid 10 psi dropstitch floor, and a 3-year extended warranty. You won't find that combination of quality/value anywhere in the marketplace. The dropstitch floor has been narrowed up about 5" to provide near instant self bailing in even the toughest whitewater conditions and the thwart connects have been machine molded for a perfect fit.
The 13'6" length is truly customized for a customer who can't decide between the agility of a 12' or 13' raft and the most popular size in the industry at 14'. We believe the 13'6" Saturn Triton Whitewater Raft is the most ideal sized raft you could have for daytrips with plenty of room for up to 7 paddlers or a weekend canyon camping trip with a family of 5. The 60" center-to-center width is ideal when installing the NRS Fishing Frame for those looking to target the next trophy or the NRS Bighorn II Frame (60" x 68" model) for a weekend adventure. Our NRS packages are discounted 10% when added with any whitewater raft and packaged with our customer pre-populated frame builder spreadsheet (download by clicking on the "Attachment" tab right next to our Product Videos).
The 13'6" Saturn Triton Whitewater Raft includes a few additional features you won't find on a 13' model including a third detachable thwart ($250 value), customized D-ring placement, upgraded PVC carrying handles, spindle style D-rings, a 30" bow/stern rise for greater punch in big rapids, and the additional "Triton" construction technology.
