Go. Anywhere. That’s the idea behind the New NRS Boundary 100. Fully inflated and assembled, this raft drops neatly inside a standard truck bed. It’s light enough (50 pounds) that you can also strap it to the top of your car or SUV. You can carry it to/from the river almost anywhere—there’s no need for a developed boat ramp—and it meets the checked bag luggage requirements of all major airlines. Wherever you want to go, the NRS Boundary can take you there.
The floor is open on this solo inflatable, making it perfect for DIY river trips in shallow water. If there’s a juicy area you want to focus on, merely stand up, piece the water up with a dozen casts, and then sit back down when you’re ready to float to the next spot. For lakes, you can add fins to maneuver while you are casting and fishing. The Boundary is 10' long and 49" wide with rugged 14.5" whitewater-compatible tubes. It has 1,000-denier base fabric coated with polyurethane, has welded seams, and a top chafe strip and bottom wear patch for rugged long-term durability.
In the back, there is a suspended cargo floor with mesh drainage panels so you can carry camping gear, a cooler, or a dog. The load capacity is 475 pounds.

It has an adjustable padded folding seat platform with a breathable seat back. The slot rail frame allows you to adjust the oar distance for maximum comfort and efficiency and allows you to add third-party accessories like a YakAttack anchor pulley or Scotty rod holder.
It comes with two NRS Advantage LT 6' oars and Mini Helix Blades as well as oar sleeves and stops, and oar rests to keep your oars out of the way and out of the water while you are casting, kicking, or landing fish.
As shown here, Boundary 100 comes with a YakAttack TracPak Box and mount to store gear for easy access, a stripping apron for the front, and multi-position foot bar for comfort and stability while rowing. NRS thought of everything with this one. There are eight 1" D-rings, two welded handles, five cargo lash loops, four NRS straps, and like other NRS products it has Leafield C7 valves.
