Features of the Boundary 100

This is a 10-foot inflatable one person fishing raft built for portability, durability, and all-day comfort on the water. The Boundary 100 weighs just 50 lbs fully rigged. It’s light enough for solo transport yet rugged enough for rocky launches and shallow rivers.

The rigid aluminum slot rail frame keeps the boat rock-solid while offering infinite adjustability for your rowing position, seating, and the accessories. NRS included YakAttack/NRS track pack, breathable mesh seat with EVA padding, adjustable oar mounts, foot brace, and stripping apron. These features make it easy to fine-tune your setup for long days of casting and rowing.

Boundary 100 Performance

This fishing raft moves quickly thanks to its longer waterline and rigid frame. The frame transfers every bit of rowing power directly into forward motion. The Boundary 100 is highly maneuverable. It is capable of spinning on a dime with a single oar stroke. It can also be controlled using kick fins for hands-free fishing. Stability is rock-solid, whether you’re seated or standing briefly to get in and out at the dock.

The 475-pound capacity means you can easily carry rods, tackle, coolers, and even enough gear for multi-day backcountry trips. The open floor drains quickly, while the stern offers ample storage space for crates, dry bags, or a net holder.

Comfort and Fishability

For solo anglers, comfort matters—especially in a one person fishing raft. The Boundary’s adjustable frame and foot brace let you fine-tune the seating position based on your height, weight distribution, and gear load. The mesh seat back offers breathability, while the EVA seat padding works well for a few hours—though long trips may benefit from an extra cushion.

In terms of fishability, this single person fishing raft is well thought out. The stripping apron makes managing fly line a breeze, while the track system allows for custom rod holder placement. The clean bow area stays uncluttered for casting, and the stern functions much like a kayak’s tankwell for easy gear access.

Is the Boundary 100 the Right Fishing Raft for You?

If you want a fishing platform that’s light enough to transport in a small car, stable enough for rivers and lakes, and customizable for your fishing style, the NRS Boundary 100 checks all the boxes. It excels for anglers targeting moving water, small creeks, and remote lakes—offering the freedom to explore and fish where larger boats can’t go.
