I have an NRS 13' Otter that a bear has eaten the floor from. If you have a similar boat that a bear has eaten the tubes of and would like to sell the floor please PM Mark, The Cutting Edge Fairbanks AK. It's possible the floors for other makes would work too. Thank you Mark

I carry an armload of raft repair, but a bear could make a raft worthless in a few minutes.Hunt Ethically. Respect the Environment.

Last thing before leaving the boat was to take a piss in it. Marking my territory. Seemed to work same as a piss fence at camp.

Oh yea... I piss everywhere these days. I used to be so careful to limit scent. Now I piss on both sides of my tent, around my raft, let the critters know I'm there before they walk through my tent in the pitch black.
TWICE I've had twin bulls walk into camp just after dark(first set there was still some light actually)...
I've been lucky with bears. Got hunted a few years ago calling... he only broke his charge at about 25 yards. Not sure why I was so calm and convinced he'd realize I wasn't a moose(he finally did)... never even jacked a shell in the chamber...mistake
Bear defense is a big topic.

6 HP will be interesting huh? More weight, need to get lower... but... more power.
bears attacking rafts sounds ugly... I've been lucky.
