Pros

  • Self-bailing floor, so water drains out of the raft instead of pooling.
  • Rated for 6 people, the same capacity as the Bris 12 ft in this group.
  • 1300 lb max load gives room for people and gear.
  • Slightly wider than the Bris 12 ft at 78 in versus 72.4 in.
  • Heat-welded, UV resistant PVC construction.
  • 3 year limited warranty.

Cons

  • Only 3 air chambers, against 7 on the Bris 12 ft, so less separation if one chamber fails.
  • No transom, so no mounting a motor.
  • Tubes are 18 in, a bit smaller than the 18.8 in on the Bris 12 ft.
  • At 110 lb it is heavy to carry without help.
  • The listing gives no fabric thickness or denier, so it can't be compared directly with the 1.2 mm, 2000D Bris rafts.

Who should skip it

Anyone who wants a drop-stitch floor or a raft with more air chambers should look at the Bris 12 ft, which has 7 chambers and a drop-stitch floor. Anyone carrying a motor should skip it too, since it has no transom.

Verdict

On paper this is a plain, self-bailing 12 ft raft for six, with a bit more width than the Bris 12 ft. It has fewer air chambers, no transom and no stated fabric rating, and no owner feedback is available. Compare those points before buying, and note that we compared specs and did not test it.
