Durable. Trustworthy. Adventure-Tested
The Kokopelli Recon 7'6" Packraft Self-Bailing Inflatable Boat with TiZip Red Rock is built for paddlers who demand maximum durability and performance. Its self-bailing system automatically drains water through an inflatable floor and drain holes, keeping you above the rapids and focused on the adventure.
This Inflatable Boat is perfect for after-work laps, multi-day trips, or road-to-river runs. Unlike TPU packrafts, the Kokopelli Recon 7'6" Packraft inflates to higher pressure, ensuring less flex and more momentum when punching through big features. Whether you’re scouting challenging runs or charging technical rapids, this inflatable boat delivers rugged dependability with every stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is this inflatable boat for?
The Kokopelli Recon 7'6" Packraft is perfect for paddlers who want a tough, simple, self‑bailing inflatable boat for daily laps and road‑to‑river runs up to Class IV.
How does the self‑bailing work in the Recon inflatable boat?
The water that splashes in during paddling gets drained out through the floor. So, you stay light and responsive without stopping to bail.
What basic maintenance keeps it fresh?
Always rinse the inflatable boat after gritty or saltwater days. Then dry fully, and store out of direct sun.
Can I bring a small dry bag inside with TiZip?
Yes, the TiZip version lets you stow gear inside the tubes for cleaner deck space.
What makes the Recon feel so confidence‑boosting on pushy water?
This inflatable boat stays composed under pressure. So, you can commit to your line and enjoy the ride instead of wrestling with your boat.
