Maiden voyage of a recently completed stock-length Voyageur.  This is my second packraft, first was a V2 which works very well and gets a lot of use.  This one had way fewer leaks!  Cold day and cold water made it tough to keep it full of air, but it worked great.  As Derek has mentioned in earlier posts, the Big Agnes Air Core fits perfectly.  I bought the 66″ long one and it seems made to fit the regular length Voyageur like a glove.  Still need some lash tabs and will slowly add seamgrip along the seam tape to take care of final small leaks.  Even if I leave it with the current small leaks, it stays full for several hours.  Very happy with this raft, thanks Matt!

I can certainly see why the next version of the two person raft is different, smaller front end and one less seam at the rear makes sense.  Will most likely build one of those next.

Again, thank you Matt for offering these up!
