Watermaster Kodiak Raft Package (Upgraded)

FREE SHIPPING **ONLY SHIPS IN NEW ZEALAND** This upgraded Watermaster Kodiak Raft Package was put together by Rich Stuber himself to meet the needs of an upcoming rafting expedition that Johan (the owner) has. It includes some of the best upgrades and useful accessories like the Crooked Creek Oars, Boat Handle and Removable Zipper Bag. The Kodiak Raft is larger than the Grizzly and features a pointed bow and stern that increase stability, weight capacity, and rowing efficiency. The Kodiak Raft features the same hardware as the Grizzly and is delivered in the same 7-cubic-foot dry bag backpack. They are a few pounds heavier but every bit as compact.  These rafts will give you the ability to access water that is otherwise out of reach. They are portable yet very rugged. There is only one of these rafts available, and only one will ever be at this incredible price of NZ$4500, which is very close to the US$ retail value of US$2295. There is no possible way of getting this raft package here in New Zealand for that price. Shipping alone is nearly $800, and then there is 15% GST at the border plus clearance charges. This is a one-off package available only to help fund a future project. Future pricing will be considerably higher due to import costs.
