Ideal 14” raft frame config...GO
Base it off an NRS frame. 14’ boat.
Boxes? Drop bags? Where to put the cooler? Put in a seat or sit on a box/cooler? DIY table bench? Captains boxes?
What revs yer raft engine?
Should be able to do something like the main Salmon for a 4 person family

I love getting the convo going. And pics. I love pics.
Anyhoo....my current 1985 14’ ([emoji6]) Avon bucket boat. Custom wood drop floor up from for the kitchen, smaller cooler, seat with Voile strapped-in captains box, and a suspended floor rear.
And yes, those are square tops on a 33 year old boat.
So...an upgrade is an exciting option...

Thx fellas. Perimeter line in the works...wife wants it matchy matchy. Didn’t put a bow line on because of the anchor but the anchor is new to me and even with it, I was kind of missing a bow line.
Bow to Stern-
1 - Drop bag and kitchen table seat
2 - Dry box
3 - Rowers area with floor and tie downs for 2 x 7gl water jugs
4- Canyon Prospector as a rowers seat
Anchor system
Custom ACX plywood sideboards with an Engel 13qt day cooler strapped to my right. Custom rod carrier to my left.
Feels like more storage than the ol’ Avon, which was 14’10”, not 14’.
Gotta say that all the variability in frame set up is both amazing and frustrating, since you never know what’s going to work best until you put it together. Where is the Les Schwab Tire Center “wheel/rim” set-up computer for rafts frames? [emoji23]
It floats fast, that’s for sure
