Venture Series 1600 Self-Bailing Raft (16′)

Our Venture Series 1600 Series raft is our largest model offered. This is the “vanborghini” of the river. It’s our only model with diminished tubes, allowing for more gear space in the bow and stern on extended river trips. Coming in at 7ft wide, there will be no shortage of cargo space for a luxury river camp.

BASE FABRIC:
Vanguard rafts use a strong polyester base fabric in all our boats. The fabric doesn’t stretch when inflated and provides a rigid tube for decreased drag. The 3600 denier floor fabric is some of the thickest in the industry and the floor is also double wrapped halfway up the sides of the tubes.

FABRIC COATING:
Our boat fabric is then coated in PVC to provide a perfect combination of lasting durability, and abrasion resistance. The PVC coating also adds another layer of improvement on the boat’s performance and helps decrease the drag and improve the rigidity of the boat.

SEAMS:
Finally, our boats are glued to provide a superior chemical bond. Glued seams on a PVC boat are fundamentally different than glued seams on a hypalon boat. A glued seams maintains the integrity of the fabric and makes repairs simple.
