WaterMaster Bruin 2-3 Person Fishing Rafts // Floor Suspension System 

Hi Joe, I was the commenter with the wet feet. We got the d-ring kit from WaterMaster and I installed them myself in the field in about two hours. Pretty easy, but I also borrowed a hair dryer (using my van's gennie) to heat up the glue so it wasn't exactly on the river. Anyhow, agreed on the performance--they make the floor solid and easy to stand on, and do so without adding weight while also allowing the floor to travel over rocks and such as designed. Great solution. Folks, this is a great raft, and if you're in WA you can and should check them out at Red's.

That would be awesome setup to have thanks for sharing!!

Nice rig! 👍👍🎣

damn...I got my Bruin in 2020... it doesn't have the d-rings on the inside of tubes or on the drop stitch floor...I would really like to strap it up like that to prevent excess water coming in when standing on the floor. Must have been something they added in a slight redesign of the raft.

Try using 2 nuts with plastic T, like the ones used on lawn mower handles, for the knee bar. I don’t have that boat so I can’t confirm you’ll get it tight enough to prevent slipping if the clamps and bars are smooth. If at least one of them is knurled, it should work.

Any option to add a hard floor? Feels like a relatively easy DIY job especially with those D-rings.

So are you ditching the Clackacraft, Joe? 😉
