Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode

Topic: Raft Frame

I’m getting a raft frame for a friend for his wedding. The raft is a 14' Aire. Any recommendations?

Topic: Boat Recommendation?

I know you have answered this question many times, so apologies in advance. Would an Aire 143R, maybe outfitted with an NRS Bighorn II frame, be a solid choice for a whitewater boat used for both day and multi-day trips for an intermediate boater? Most often there would be two people in boat sometimes three. Thanks much. Love your show.

Topic: Secondhand IK?

How often do you guys cycle through your Jimbo fleet? I’d love to be put on a list if you sell used when you replace. I own a brewery in Spokane, and would happily bring you guys some tasty treats in addition to whatever the used price would be if there was a time you were unloading a couple of those. Figured it was worth a shot, thanks for all the gear garage videos very helpful stuff
