![]() With the NRS Slipstream 96, once the frame is put together you're going to have to at least remove it from the boat and haul it on a roof rack. Better yet, you can haul it in the back of an SUV or the trunk of a car. When it comes to transportation and portability I’d probably give the OSG Striker the win because it’s easy to deflate and pack down. Transporting Outcast Striker vs NRS Slipstream 96 to Rivers The Outcast Striker we reviewed weighed just 102 pounds, and I have to say, it’s a whole lot easier to put together right out of the box. As for weight, the NRS Slipstream 96 standard version weighs 130 pounds, and the Deluxe model we tested tipped the scales at about 145 pounds. The Outcast Striker is slightly smaller at 9 feet 5 inches long and 5 feet wide. The Slipstream 96 is 9 feet 6 inches long and 5 feet 3 inches wide. The Outcast Sporting Gear (OSG) Striker is a bit easier to put together and is slightly lighter Fishing Raft Size and Weight Comparison However, you’d have to get a little creative and probably buy a few more accessories to mount to those plates. The Outcast Striker doesn't come with an anchor system, but there are mounts that would make it pretty easy to add yourself. NRS Slipstream 96 The Outcast Striker fishing raft Other than that, this boat is pretty much ready to hit the water right out of the gate. That’s a fair amount of gear, but I did feel like a pump should have been included. With that you get the OSG raft, oars and oarlocks, seats, and the frame that holds them together. The Outcast Striker has an MSRP of $3,699. And remember, you’re only paying about $1,000 more for the Deluxe package over the Standard package. I think the Deluxe package gives you a ton of value because the extra gear would cost about $1,300 when parted out separately. And finally, you also get a couple of cup holders that can be mounted in different places on the frame The Deluxe package also comes with an anchor line and a 2-to-1 pulley system to make raising and lowering the anchor a snap. In addition to the raft itself, the Standard package comes with a pump and all the frame components. With the Deluxe package you also get Cutthroat oars with Cataract blades and two tubes on the side that can hold fly rods up to nine feet long. The price difference between the two is about $1,000. NRS’s Slipstream 96 is available in Standard and Deluxe packages. If you’re considering one of these two inflatable boats, or comparing a small raft with a traditional 2 person river boat like a Jon boat, this post should be a big help. They’re definitely alike in many respects, but there are a number of key differences too. Both fishing rafts are approximately 9 ½ feet long, fit in the bed of a standard pick-up, and were designed for two anglers. If you follow me on the this blog or Road Trip Angler YouTube, you already know that I recently reviewed the NRS Slipstream 96 and the Outcast Striker fishing rafts.īefore jumping in to these inflatable fishing boats let’s cover a few basic details about the rafts first.
