An obsolete design, this is the whitewater kayak that became a legend in the industry. At the time it revolutionized kayak design. It became one of the most popular kayaks ever produced. Shoft chines and high bow buoyancy translate into incredible stability and predictability, even when punching through meaty holes and big standing waves.

The Crossfile is the choice for many big water paddlers who want a forgiving design and more storage capacity than lower volume designs.

Equipment Included: PFD, paddle.

Handles well, highly maneuverable, light, rolls easily, has a good feel to it. A good boat for stability and for fun in the surf. Doesn't track, not for beginners— little initial stability, not for staying dry. It will not paddle in a straight line for anyone but an experienced paddler. It is great in the surf, durable and heavy enough to hold its own in big waves.

A large, stable multi-purpose canoe. Primarily used for canoe tripping on lakes, flatwater, and class II-III whitewater. Huge capacity holds an entire months worth of gear; this is a great boat for that Alligash or Northern Forest Canoe Trail trip.

Equipment: No float bags, 2 paddles, 1 PFD.

Equipment Included: Kayak paddle, PFD, Helmet, Pump

The ThrillSeeker is a high performance inflatable kayak. The air floor and tapered side tubes make the boat at home on anything from big water to technical rivers. If you've never been in a boat before, this is the boat to start with; the paddler sits more inside the boat and feels more secure then the other inflatables. This boat has the most room for gear of all the MVP solo inflatables.

Boat was retrofitted in 2004 by Custom Inflatables. (New tips, cross tube, hung floor, soft tube, cams.)

(Ed Note: ThrillSeeker comes in multiple models, each a different size. This is the middle size model, also known as Standard Model.)

Equipment: 1 pump, helmet, PFD, paddle, mesh bag (was 2 pumps).

Recommended for intermediate to advanced paddlers, the Force series boats are designed to mimic the maneuverability of hard shell kayaks, while providing the security and safety of an inflatable kayak. These boats can surf, perform enders, do flat spins, and complete Eskimo rolls. Adjustable back and foot rests come standard.

The Force is recommended for intermediate to advanced boaters under 185 pounds. The Force includes thigh straps to enhance control while surfing, rolling and completing tricks. It is a great boat for paddlers who want to move 'up' a class in the water they run.

Equipment Included: Pump, Paddle, PFD, Helmet, and possibly gear bag?.

The ThrillKat is a fast boat; and incredibly stable, its almost impossible to accidentally flip over. It will paddle thru anything head on (a bit more fun, and punches thru big waves better then the ThrillSeeker). The 'cat tubes are outside the weight of the paddler, creating an air bumper on both sides and making it easy to turn and stear. This boat turns easier then the ThrillSeeker, but not as easy as the Force. This is also the boat recommended for canoists wanting to paddle an inflatable or intermediate kayakers. Note: It does not have thigh straps installed, so not for side-surfing, and recommended only up to Class III water. (Note: I think we added thigh straps to this boat.)

Equipment Included: 3 paddles, ??? helmets, ??? PDF's, pump, pump bag, repair kit, throw bag, gear bag.

Stable, fun tandem catacraft.

Ed Note: Some Shredders were made of Hyperlon. Capacity depends upon which model. The MVP shredder is the standard (not the large) model. The capacity is spec'ed to the level which will keep the floor above water level (IE, Two big guys (200+ lbs each) will get their feet wet a bit and the boat will be sluggish. The larger shredders hold up to 550 lbs.)

Equipment Included: TBD.

Another fun, stable tandem catacraft.

Equipment included: 8 paddles (incl 1 guide paddle), 10 helmets (incl 2 children's), 6 PFD's (2 small, 2 medium, 2 large, 1 ML); throw bag, flip line, large pump, and gear bag.

Note: Paddler capacity is normally two per thwart (one on each side) plus guide.  With third thward added capacity is seven. You can squeeze a second person on the back in the guide's position as long as weight capacity is not exceeded.

Withe 3 center thwards and more inside room, the NRS raft holds more people and gear then the Star raft and as such is great for family outings. However with smaller tubes it doesn't perform as well in bigger water.

Nickname (by the Manufacturer): 12-Foot Bug

Equipment Included:7 paddles (incl 1 guide paddle), 9 PFD's (2 S/XS, 4 M/L, 2 L/XL, 1 Highfloat), 7 helmets (incl 1 child's), Large capacity pump, bow line, 3 throw lines (incl 1 waist model) plus rescue carabiner. 2 mesh bags for gear

Note: Paddler capacity is normally two per thwart (one on each side) plus guide.  With two thwarts the normal capacity is five people. You can squeeze a second person on the back in the guide's position as long as weight capacity is not exceeded.

The Star raft has only two thwarts and bigger side tubes then the NRS raft for higher flotation and handling in bigger water. Put 4-5 experienced paddlers in it and it is one hot boat.  However the larger tubes make it more cramped.

Note: This boat is really not for rent. We're crazy; but not *that* crazy. It's only listed here as a way to test the rental and payment code.
