Why Go Raftpacking With An Electric Raft?

Now that I've had my Tobin Sports Canyon Pro DIY electric raft out on a few adventures, this is why I prefer it to regular raftpacking! By letting the electric outboard motor power your boat instead of you doing all the paddling, you're left to enjoy the beautiful scenery and water. And the whole setup isn't as heavy or bulky as you'd think, either--even with some solar charging thrown in the mix!
