RMR Flow FLW-132 13'2" Self Bailing Raft | All Colors

The Flow I-Beam is one of the most flexible boats in the RMR lineup for private recreational use. Keep it simple with paddles and thwarts, load up the family for a float, or remove the interior seating and build it into an oar rig later.

• 6'4" wide with 20" tubes
• Three removable thwarts included
• Front foot cups pre-installed
• Traditional inflatable I-beam floor
• Sporty, responsive handling
• Stable enough for family recreation
• Useful for fishing and moderate whitewater
• Compatible with rowing frames
• Rapid Thwart Attachment system
• 33 oz, 2,000-denier lightweight PVC
• Easier to transport and store than many heavier rafts
• 3-year private boater warranty

Paddle It Right Out of the Box

The Flow I-Beam comes with three removable thwarts, giving paddlers proper seating and bracing positions for a conventional paddle-raft setup.

Front foot cups add another bracing point for the front paddlers, while the Rapid Thwart Attachment system lets you install and remove the thwarts without dealing with traditional lace-in attachments.

Take the Family

Its 6'4" width and 20" tubes create a stable platform for family floats, camping trips, and relaxed river days when you don't need the weight or cargo capacity of a larger expedition boat.

Fish It

The Flow works well for casual fishing in paddle configuration, or the thwarts can be removed to create room for a rowing or fishing frame when you want a more dedicated setup.

Add a Frame

Remove the thwarts and the Flow becomes a flexible platform for oars, coolers, dry storage, anchor systems, and fishing gear.

33 oz, 2,000-Denier PVC

The Flow uses lighter 33 oz, 2,000-denier PVC and a smaller chafe strip to reduce overall weight and make the raft easier to roll, carry, and transport.

This is intentionally different from RMR's heavier-duty raft lineup. The Flow was designed around private recreation, family trips, fishing, and moderate whitewater rather than the demands of heavy expedition or commercial use.

Why Weight Matters

A lighter raft is easier to live with. Loading it into a vehicle, carrying it toward the water, moving it around the garage, rolling it after a trip, and storing it between seasons all become simpler.

Leafield D7 Valves

Leafield D7 valves are used throughout the Flow's inflatable components for dependable inflation and serviceability.

Traditional Raft Feel

The Flow I-Beam uses a conventional inflatable I-beam floor rather than the rigid drop-stitch system found in the FLWDS-132.

The result is a softer, more traditional feel underfoot that many paddlers prefer for recreational whitewater and family floats.

More Movement Through Waves

An I-beam floor flexes more than a drop-stitch platform, allowing the raft to move naturally through waves and chop.

Self-Bailing

Water entering the boat drains through the self-bailing floor system instead of collecting around passengers and gear.

Choose the Flow 132 I-Beam if you want:

• A conventional paddle-raft setup
• Three removable thwarts
• Front foot cups
• A softer, more traditional raft floor
• Family and recreational whitewater versatility
• The ability to add a rowing frame later

Choose the Flow 132 Drop Stitch if you want:

• A rigid 6" floor
• Better footing for standing casts
• A more fishing-focused platform
• An interior designed around frame use
• No thwarts or thwart attachments

The simplest way to think about it: I-Beam for paddling versatility. Drop Stitch for standing stability and fishing.

The Flow I-Beam is a strong choice if you:

• Want one raft for several different kinds of river days
• Plan to paddle with friends or family
• Prefer a traditional inflatable-floor feel
• Want a lighter raft that's easier to transport
• Fish occasionally but don't need a dedicated fishing platform
• Want the option to add a rowing frame later
• Take camping and recreational river trips
• Want a more affordable RMR option

You may prefer the Flow Drop Stitch if you:

• Primarily fish from a frame
• Frequently stand while casting
• Want a rigid floor underfoot
• Don't need a conventional paddle-raft layout

You may want a heavier RMR model if you:

• Regularly run demanding technical whitewater
• Need maximum material durability
• Carry heavy expedition loads
• Use the boat intensively in commercial service
• Need significantly more passenger or cargo capacity

What is the Flow 132 I-Beam designed for?

The Flow I-Beam is designed as a versatile lightweight raft for private boaters, families, anglers, and recreational whitewater paddlers. It can be used as a paddle raft with the included thwarts or converted to a rowing setup later.

What's the difference between the Flow I-Beam and Drop Stitch?

The I-Beam includes three removable thwarts and has a softer traditional inflatable floor, making it better suited to paddle rafting and general recreation. The Drop Stitch has a rigid floor, no thwart attachments, and is more specifically optimized for fishing and frame use.

Can I paddle the Flow I-Beam without a frame?

Yes. The Flow I-Beam includes three removable thwarts and front foot cups, allowing it to be used as a conventional paddle raft without a frame.

Can I add a frame later?

Yes. Remove the thwarts and the Flow can be configured with a compatible rowing or fishing frame.

Can Bobby build a custom frame for my Flow?

Yes. Pro River Outfitters owner Bobby Bower builds custom raft frames with customers in person at the Fayetteville, West Virginia shop. The layout can be planned around rowing position, coolers, dry boxes, fishing gear, anchor systems, passenger room, and your intended use.

Can I switch back to paddling after adding a frame?

Yes. The removable RTA thwarts allow you to change the interior layout, so the same raft can move between paddle and rowing configurations.

Is the Flow I-Beam good for families?

Yes. Its three-thwart layout, roomy dimensions, and stable design make it well suited for recreational family river trips when used within appropriate conditions.

Is the Flow I-Beam good for fishing?

Yes. It works well for casual fishing in paddle configuration and can also be paired with a frame for a more dedicated fishing or rowing setup.

Can I stand and fish from the I-Beam floor?

You can stand on the properly inflated I-beam floor, but it is softer and moves more than the rigid Drop Stitch floor. Anglers who spend a lot of time standing and casting may prefer the Flow Drop Stitch.

Why would I choose the I-Beam instead of Drop Stitch?

Choose the I-Beam if you want a conventional paddle raft, a softer traditional floor, family versatility, and the ability to switch between paddling and rowing.

Are the thwarts removable?

Yes. All three use RMR's Rapid Thwart Attachment system and can be removed for frame installation or a different interior layout.

Why is the Flow lighter than many RMR rafts?

The Flow Series uses lighter 33 oz, 2,000-denier PVC and a smaller chafe strip to reduce weight and make the raft easier to roll, load, transport, and store.

Is the lighter material less heavy-duty?

Yes — intentionally. The Flow is optimized for private recreational use rather than trying to match the material weight of RMR's expedition-oriented models. If demanding whitewater or intensive commercial use is your priority, another RMR model may be a better fit.

How is the Flow different from the RMR SB-130?

The Flow is slightly longer and wider and uses a lighter material package. That creates a different style of boat focused on easier ownership, family recreation, fishing, and responsive private-boater performance.

Will the Flow fit in my vehicle?

Its lightweight inflatable construction makes it much easier to transport than a hard-sided boat or permanently rigged raft. Actual fit depends on your vehicle, how the raft is rolled, and how much additional gear you're carrying.

What comes with the Flow I-Beam?

The FLW-132 includes the raft, three removable thwarts, front foot cups, valve wrench, and patch kit. Frame, paddles, oars, pump, PFDs, anchors, and other river equipment are sold separately unless specifically included with the product.

What warranty does it include?

The Flow carries RMR's 3-year private boater warranty, subject to the manufacturer's complete warranty terms.

Why buy the Flow from Pro River Outfitters?

Pro River Outfitters can help you choose the raft and then help build everything around it. Owner Bobby Bower brings more than 40 years of whitewater-industry experience to raft sizing, custom frame layouts, oars, anchors, coolers, repair equipment, and complete river setups.
