When I was at Winnisquam, I noticed they had a couple of the swim platform rafts on sale... There have been threads on these before -- and the MSRP is like 399 bucks... Ryan said they have a bunch they want to sell -- for a pretty nice discount. I think they were priced at $249 - and then you'd have to cover shipping I'm sure.

For a 7X11 raft with cup holders, cooler holder, and a mini pool - it's a pretty dang good price.

I know Koji has one... I have one -- they are awesome.

Just passing on a great deal. Shoot Ryan an email and tell him you want the CougarCruiser discount. ha ha ha.

How heavy duty is it? I like the idea of it a lot, but I can imagine all the kids we boat with climbing and jumping all over it and ending up with a hole. I would guess from the look of it, it is designed more for lounging and kids might be a problem. Thoughts?

They are made by RAVE ..... very well made and strong… Our raft are not getting used by those pretty attractive young adult like in Cougar`s photo :( but always abuse by bunch of kids jumping up and down....... piling up far more than its capacity….. The warning sign says do not stands on the mesh area but kids do….. In the beginning we were more careful about but not these days…. It is our 3rd season with this raft and it is still like new…. Even after abused by kids…. I would highly recommend it…

Excellent! I might just have to give Ryan a call on one of these. Thanks--you addressed my concerns exactly.

They are heavy duty.

You'll love it. As a 'wet space' extension to any boat's swim platform -- it's pretty sweet. It's always the place to hang out on a hot day. Cupholders, mesh mini-pool area for little kids -- it cannot be beat.

Actually, I do. If it holds me, it'll probably hold a Superjet. :shock:

Nice! haha... I put the SJ on a diet of carbon fiber so I think I'll have the weight down under 285. This will be perfect so the ski doesnt make contact with the boat while I'm on the hook.

285? It'll hold it just fine.

for the price - can't be beat. I never thought of it as a 'dock' -- but I don't see why not. ha ha.

The swim rafts are just an awesome add-on for any boat. They are made by Rave and they are very rugged. Both I and the factory have an overstock of them so I have worked a deal with Four Winns to sell the ones that I have and some that they have at Four Winns for $149 plus freight which should be about $50. This is half the normal cost delivered to your door!!!

Email me at ifourwinns@winnisquammarine.com if you are interested in one.

Get excited for boating season!!! Here in New Hampshire we had the earliest Ice Out in recorded history, this must be a sign of a great boating season to come.

Wow! Great price! I just emailed Ryan and told him to sign me up! If we weren't going to Toledo this weekend to visit family for Easter, I'd be heading in the other direction to Tennessee to put the boat in. It was 80 degrees here in Northern KY today.
