Cambridge Frames & Dry Boxes

Salmon River Expedition Frame
I use Cambridge dry boxes and raft with a Cambridge Salmon River frame, they are the best!! Cambridge Welding has built custom raft frames
for almost thirty years. They use 1 3/8” OD galvanized steel tubing notched, fitted and welded to the highest standards! The break-down design is rigid, but allows a slight flex to prevent weld cracks that can occur over time to one-piece frames. These Frames are designed to be strapped together, no pins and no pin hole deformation! The frame “nests” in your raft for a snug fit unmatched by any flat frames with clamped joints. A foot bar is part of the cooler rack and fitted cooler straps are included. The frame holds 2 dry boxes, a 100 Qt. cooler and has a bar to add optional side boxes......

Cambridge Kitchen Dry Box $425.00 - $450.00

The Guide Master Stern Frame
"The Best Guide Stern Frame ever designed!"
The Guide Master stern frame was designed by commerical river guides for use on class IV and V rivers. This frame is light weight yet very strong, we build it from 1.25 OD galvanized steel tubing and weld it to industrial standards. We have two sizes, a Guide Master stern frame will fit any 13 to 16 foot raft with 19 to 22 inch tubes and 38 to 42 inches of inside floor space. The frame is also functional and will nest two Roll-A-Tables in the frame members between the seat and the oar lock supports.The Guide Master frame rows best with 9 or 9.5 foot oars. The seating position is ergonomic for comfort, safety and provides solid leverage for guiding demanding, steep, technical rivers. You have total control with a
Guide Master stern frame!

Oars, Oar Shafts & Blades
I have been rowing with Sawyer Oars for over three decades in some of the most difficult 
river guide and white water conditions any where in the west.
I think Sawyer are just the
best, in durability and value. Sawyer has a blade, Shaft, and handle combination to fit every boatman's needs
and to meet the demanding conditions of any white water river in the world!
The blades are all enter-changeable allowing you to match any shaft,
handle and blade combination to any rowing style, river or river condition.

Sawyer's standard handle Pole Cat shaft with the Dura-Max White Water Blade and Oar Stopper Sleeve is one of the
best values in oar on the market. Light weight but durable and built for years of service. 
Great all around oar for rafts
10 to 13 feet and drift boats 14 to 15 foot center! The Pole Cat oar is also a great back-up oar, they are dependable
and require very little care. These oars are always ready and able to get you out!

Sawyer W/S-MXSF/G: with solid wide ash blades.
This is a great oar and blade combination for heavy white water conditions and expedition boating. The ash blade is a little wider than some and pulls good amounts of water, these blades are also very durable and come standard with Sawyer's bonded dynel tip protectors for superior rock protection. This is a great set of oars for loaded rafts from 14 to 16 feet and drift boats from 16 to 17 foot center.
This is also a very low maintenance oars.........

Sawyer Whiter Water Lites: In 30 years of  river guiding I have spent thousands of days in the seat of a drift boat
and ever oar stroke I have ever pulled has been with a set of  Sawyer "White Water Lites". 
Nothing rows like a
set of Sawyer laminated fir oar, pulling plugs on a small steelhead stream, bouncing eggs for salmon or dragging
flies for trout on the McKenzie these oars are a river guides tools. White Water Lites have great flex,
are
durable, well balanced and will last you for years with a little care. All wooden oars come standard with
rope wraps, stops and Pro-Tip oar tip protectors. This is great oar for a long river day at the stix!
