143R

The AIRE 143R is a do-it-all raft, designed for paddle teams and multi-day expeditions alike. With its big, stable 20” tubes, it provides confidence in rough water, while the long 109” waterline ensures smooth tracking. Whether you’re paddling with up to seven people or outfitting it with a frame for multi-day adventures, the 143R is built for it all.

What makes the 143R Special?

✅ Big, Stable 20” Tubes for Confidence on the Water

The Round Series design maintains a 20” tube diameter all the way around, maximizing stability and flotation.

✅ Long 109” Waterline for Better Tracking

Keeps the raft moving straight and smooth, even in challenging conditions.

✅ Durable Design for Longevity

Minimized wear points with a bottom fabric that extends toward the ends, reducing common stress areas.

SELF-BAILING RAFT - FLOOR SYSTEMS

Two different types of self-bailing floor pockets are available for all AIRE brand rafts.
The Regular Floor Pocket comes standard with all AIRE rafts while the Sealed Floor Pocket is optional ($620).

The Regular Floor Pocket (RFP)

HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (RFP) is constructed by sewing the PVC floor top and bottom to a zipper
along the perimeter edge of the floor pocket.
An air floor AIREcell is placed inside the pocket which keeps the floor rigid and
buoyant.
Drain holes are built into the bottom of the floor pocket.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
Aids in tracking and stability.
While on the river, water will enter the drain holes and add ballast to the boat.
This extra ballast creates a low center of gravity which helps the raft ‘stick’ to
the water and can sometimes help prevent a flip.

RECOMMENDED FOR:
This design comes standard with all our rafts.
Great choice for paddle rafts of all size

The Sealed Floor Pocket (SFP)

HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (SFP) is constructed by welding the PVC floor top and bottom together along
the perimeter to form a waterproof pocket.
1 watertight zipper is installed on the floor top to access the air floor AIREcell.
3 valves are installed. The inflation valve, the pressure relief valve and a burp valve
that relieves air pressure caught between the AIREcell and the floor pocket.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
The SFP does not take on any water to ballast, this will make the raft slightly faster
and more responsive in whitewater.
Owners don’t have to wait a couple minutes at the take out for water to drain out
of the raft floor pocket.
No need to rinse out the floor pocket after trips down silty rivers.

RECOMMENDED FOR:
Good choice for rowing large, gear hauling rafts.
Rivers that require portages.
The SFP is a good option when mostly running silty rivers.

*Floors do not come installed – call 801-455-5450 to add an install (additional fee) to your order.
