Description
The NRS Otter 150 is an excellent all-purpose 15' raft for the paddler who enjoys quality and versatility. Pennel-Orca material provides Hypalon-level quality and abrasion resistance, and keeps this 15-footer incredibly light at only 131 pounds. The Otter 150 is speedy and maneuverable with its 29" bow and stern kick, and non-diminished tube design gives you stability in rapids and exceptional punching power through big hits. A 94" straight run gives you plenty of space for a three or four bay frame, or can load up for a day trip and take up to 11 paddlers as a crew boat.

Pro Tip: The Otter 150 is the largest boat in the Otter Series, and for most private boaters, its the ideal choice over the E-150. The NRS E-Series is the same design as the Otter Series, but features four outer chambers instead of three, and other durability additions that commercial operators demand. Otters will last just as long as E-series in the hands of a private owner, as they wont get the wear and tear that most commercial rafts are subjected to. That said, the three chamber design makes this boat less-ideal than the E-150 if you are running near capacity most of the time you are using your boat.
