RMR SB-95 ThunderCloud Self Bailing Raft The RMR SB-95 ThunderCloud Self Bailing Raft falls in between the popular Hyside MiniMe model, and RMR's Storm size wise.

The idea was not to add so much material to make the boat overly heavy. Frame side bars can be padded with hot water pipe insulation to prevent rubbing, and even i
