Featuring a long waterline and tight pivot point, the SL series stays locked on line through steep creeks, Class IV rapids, and narrow technical runs where lesser rafts fall short. The hallmark 21\"-16\" diminishing tubes (larger sizes up to 26\"-21\") maximize interior room and legroom without adding unnecessary bulk, keeping the raft responsive and streamlined. Available in sizes from 10' to 18', there is an SL model perfectly matched to every crew size, river type, and adventure style.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Handmade in the USA by skilled craftsmen and river guides on the Rogue River, every Liquid SL is built to order with SOTAR's proprietary 40oz REZCOAT Urethane material - one of the most durable coatings in the industry. Each boat is fully customizable with your choice of base color, chafe protection, additional D-rings, thwarts, foot cups, and more, so your raft can be dialed in exactly the way you want it before it ever hits the water.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40oz REZCOAT Urethane Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOTAR's proprietary urethane coating delivers exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term durability in demanding whitewater conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Waterline and Small Pivot Point:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the raft locked on course through technical rapids while enabling quick, precise turns in tight channels and eddies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiminishing Tube Design (21\"-16\" to 26\"-21\" depending on size):\u003c\/strong\u003e Tapered tubes maximize interior space and legroom while reducing drag and maintaining a compact, agile footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7 Air Chambers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiple independent chambers provide redundancy and safety on the water - a failure in one chamber doesn't compromise the whole raft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-9 I-Beam Floor (size dependent):\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid I-beam floors are stable enough to stand on comfortably, supporting paddlers during active whitewater runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard 10 D-Rings and 6 Handle D-Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ample attachment points for gear rigging, safety lines, and cargo management on any trip length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Buckle Thwarts Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable thwarts provide flexible seating and organization for both paddle and rowing configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Colors Per Boat Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every SL raft ships with three-color customization, with over a dozen base colors available to suit any aesthetic or branding need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Year Limited Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by a 10-year limited warranty for recreational use and 6 years for commercial use - a reflection of SOTAR's confidence in their craftsmanship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade to Order - Fully Customizable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Options include top\/bottom chafe, extra D-rings, extra thwarts, foot cups, custom logos, valve placement, and design modifications to length, width, and rake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10' (2-4 people, 663 lb capacity):\u003c\/strong\u003e The most compact and nimble of the SL series, purpose-built for steep creeks, narrow technical runs, and solo or duo paddlers who want maximum agility.

Every raft is made to order by skilled craftsmen and river guides who actually paddle the rivers these boats are built for - meaning every design decision is field-tested, not just engineered on paper. The 40oz REZCOAT Urethane material is among the toughest in the industry, trusted by outfitters, professional guides, and competitive paddlers who demand reliability in the harshest whitewater environments. The SL's signature diminishing tube design is a genuine performance advantage, giving you a roomier interior without the sloppy handling of a larger boat. With a 10-year limited warranty and a fully customizable build process, the SOTAR Liquid SL isn't just a raft - it's a long-term investment in your time on the water, made right here in the USA.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSLR 10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40oz REZCOAT Urethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExterior Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTube Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\" - 16\" (diminishing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStraight Section\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInterior Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThwarts\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Buckle Thwarts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThwart Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor Drop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor I-Beams\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 I-Beams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValve Orientation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI (Inline with Floor I-Beams)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eD-Rings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 D-Rings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 Handles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAir Chambers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 Chambers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBow \u0026amp; Stern Rise\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBow \u0026amp; Stern Rake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLoad Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e663 lbs (at 1\/3 Submergence)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacity Persons\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-4 People\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e77 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-Year Limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLead Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 8 weeks (made to order)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo - inflate and launch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShips direct from SOTAR; additional shipping charges may apply for large sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long does it take for my raft to be built and shipped?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eAll SOTAR rafts are made to order and placed in a standard production queue.
