This is a "Momma Cat" model cataraft, tubes made by the renowned raft maker Jack's Plastic in Aztec, Arizona. The tubes were made in 1995, but have been used little, never folded, always stored indoors and slightly inflated. In other words, but for a couple of small patches, they're nearly as good as new.
The tubes are 13' long by 19" in diameter. They used to be used with a fully loaded larger heavier frame, and never had problems with capacity. I've paired it with a simple rowing frame, figuring that if I wanted to use it for trips again, I'd pick up a cargo frame or two (cooler/drybox size frames that sell for less than two hundred bucks).
The steel frame's just set up for rowing, but could accomodate a mesh or solid floor.
This would be a good starter boat, sized well for pretty much any northwest river. You could think of it as a smaller gear boat, or the ultimate large fishing pontoon. $850.00 o.b.o.
Here's the craigslist listing, with pics:
