My fourteen rolls up pretty tight with minimal effort. It is hypalon though. I understand PVC is a different proposition.

Super Puma. Unless you plan on taking a lot of Western trips and stuff. A super puma works great for everything you might do in AR and SE. And it will work for day trips on the Ark in CO and multi day trips for one or two people out west if you go light. Also good for low water trips on the Middle Fork, etc. Get a 14 or 15 later if you decide you really need it.

I think we are killing him with all the feedback since he's got his choice down to two specific sizes. He asked the simple question of raft size not what brands, extras, add-ons, etc.

We need real water and soon! :poke:

Super Puma... and make friends with someone who has a soft heart and a bigger raft, if you're fortunate enough to need one:) Crane

As Roger said, the original question was between two rafts.

Based on that question and his stated aim to mostly paddle in AR

I recommend the smaller of the two.
