The uniquely shaped 143E is ideal for steep, fast flowing rivers. The elliptical design makes quick maneuvers for picking your line down a technical rapid. The squared off stern is an excellent seat for a paddle guide or stern mount frame. The 143E is good for R4-R7 paddle teams and is a fun day tripping raft when outfitted with a frame.
