Day trips with a few buddies to overnighters off-grid, the versatility of the Slipstream 129 fuels the adventure angler’s wanderlust from coast to coast. With the option to fit three anglers, or fewer anglers and more gear, the Slipstream 129 is designed to float pushy rivers, languid streams and everything in between. Sold in ready-to-fish packages, the Slipstreams feature exclusive storage solutions, an internal anchor system and more.

What this boat offers:

• Purpose-built for up to three anglers, the Slipstream 129 features a streamlined design with deliberately placed D-rings, handles and valves to reduce weight and eliminate line/hook catch points.
• Whitewater-engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials, plus bottom and top wear patches.

• Three main air chambers plus the drop-stitch floor insert keep you afloat in the event of a puncture.
• 6" drop-stitch floor provides a super stable platform, eliminating the need for casting platforms.

• Ten D-rings provide tie-down points for a frame or gear.
• Molded Thigh Hooks in the bow and stern provide additional support to the front and back anglers.
• Internal anchor system easily controlled from the rower's seat keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.

Q: What types of boats and rafts do you offer?
A: Drift Outfitters stocks a selection of fishing-ready rafts and float boats designed with anglers in mind. You’ll find models for single, tandem, and three person use, with features such as reinforced floors, rod holders, and stable frames to fish comfortably on rivers and lakes.

Q: How do I choose the right raft size and style for fly fishing?
A: Consider how many anglers you’ll carry and the water type you’ll fish (rivers vs lakes). Single-person rafts offer easy back-county access, while tandem or multi-person models provide space and stability for casting and gear. Look for features like high load capacity and good balance.

Q: Are rafts easy to transport and set up?
A: Yes — inflatable rafts pack down compactly and are relatively easy to transport in a vehicle. Most models inflate quickly with a pump and include attachment points to secure gear and accessories before heading out on the water. Rafts with frames such as NRS models are light and many can be car topped, put in a truck bed, or pulled on a lightweight trailer.

Q: Which brands of boats and rafts do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters features raft models from trusted outdoor brands such as NRS (Slipstream, Oxbow, Approach series) and Watermaster (Kodiak, Grizzly, Bruin). These brands are well-known in the fly fishing community for durability and performance.

Q: What accessories come with or are recommended for rafts?
A: Many raft packages include or recommend extras like pumps, repair kits, oars, anchor systems, and safety gear. Upgrading with gear like rod holders or motor mounts can enhance your fishing experience on the water.

Q: How should I care for my raft?
A: Rinse with fresh water after each trip. Dry completely before storing to prevent mildew or damage. Patch any small leaks promptly and store it loosely in a cool, dry place.
