recon vs scout
Two Raven boat series, built for different priorities
The Raven Recon and Raven Scout share the same core design philosophy: conservative construction, six-chamber safety, and materials selected for Canadian conditions.
The difference comes down to how you plan to use your boat.
Raven Recon
Aluminum floor system providing maximum rigidity underfoot, increased load distribution, and a solid working platform once assembled.
Raven scout
High-pressure air floor system prioritizing reduced overall weight and faster setup and breakdown, creating a lighter, more easily handled platform.
