The AIRE 156E Self-Bailing Raft is a rising star in Aire’s lineup of rafts. Wherever this boat goes, it goes with a reputation for taking on steep rivers. The elliptical design makes for quick maneuvers when picking your line down a technical rapid. The 156E is good for R6-R9 paddle teams and is a fun gear raft when outfitted with a frame.
What makes the AIRE 156E Raft special?
- Narrow Feel: The 156E feels considerably narrower than other boats.
- Unique Bow Design: The bow on 156E rafts is pointed, and sheds water better than round rafts. It also comes up at a steep angle, giving this raft an advantage when navigating drops and deep holes.
- Straight Side Tubes: The 156E tracks straight due to its shape, including its straight side tubes.
- Guide Friendly Stern: If anybody needs a good platform, it’s the guide. If they can’t get into position, everyone is in trouble. The squared-off shape and low rise on the 156E make it a joy to guide.
Why AIRE?
AIRE boats are designed based on a component system with urethane chambers (“AIREcells”) that are separate from the rest of the boat, rather than chambers that are formed by the welded seams of the outer material of the raft. While this makes the boat a bit heavier, there are superior advantages to this system:
- Field repairs are much easier and more effective since you can access the air chamber by unzipping the PVC outer skin.
- You can patch holes in the outer skin from the inside, making a more effective watertight seal and a less noticeable patch.
- Leaks are extremely uncommon since wear and tear on the outside of the boat doesn’t directly affect its ability to hold air.
- In the event that you really cause some damage to the inner air chamber, you can pull it out and replace it; you’re not stuck with a patch that is responsible for holding air for the rest of the boat’s life.
Well taken care of, these boats last longer than any other PVC boat out there! They are a great investment for a private boater looking for a quality setup at non-Hypalon prices.
Pro Tip
AIRE raft floors are attached to the tubes (the raft collar) by lacing them in with rope. The “Unlaced” models do not come with the floor pre-installed but include the rope you’d need to do it yourself.
