I had a customer contact me to build this one. They are built upon request. If your interested in one send me an e-mail and I would be happy to give you the details.

Thanks for replying. Just a few questions. This will be our first attempt to launch a loon raft. I have seen just a couple from locals who do this and theirs are more primitive but work well. I like the style of yours because it inhibits larger fowl from landing on it. Is it too heavy for two people to carry when a floor is added? Can mud and plants still be planted on it? What is the price? Thanks, Carol

They are easily handled by 2 people. Somewhere @ 100 lbs. if that. I have not weighed a completed raft. Not sure if you checked out the original designers site but the nest building tips are very useful. http://mantraplake.webs.com/loonnestingrafts.htm 10/13/2013 07:24:24 pm
