Custom aluminum raft frames
built for you
Whether you’re a fly fishing guide on the Blackfoot, running whitewater on the Clark Fork, or planning a multi-day expedition, Pintler builds a custom aluminum raft frame around your specific boat, your rivers, and the way you fish or float.

The Co-Design Process
Every Pintler frame starts with a conversation.
We'll talk through your raft model, how you fish or float, and exactly what you need on the water. Anchor systems, lean bars, dry box mounts, casting platforms, rod holders — your frame gets built around your life on the river, not the other way around.
That's the Pintler difference: a custom aluminum raft frame fabricated in Missoula, Montana, by someone who actually floats these rivers.
Popular Accessories
Compact Aluminum Raft Guidebox for Essentials
You don’t always need everything in your boat nearby. Sometimes you just need the essentials — organized, accessible, and within reach.
Why It Matters
Too much gear creates clutter and slows you down. The Small Guidebox keeps everything in your raft tidy and within reach without overloading your frame with storage you don't need.
Built For
Minimalist anglers
Smaller raft setups
Secondary storage needs
Clean, simple, and exactly what you need for a lighter setup.
Drift Boat Trailer Anchor Mount — Adjustable
Loading after a long day on the river shouldn’t mean wrestling a muddy anchor into your truck. This trailer-mounted Anchor Caddy holds your anchor securely for transport and storage, keeping gear clean, organized, and ready for the next launch.
Why It Matters
Loose anchors shift, damage gear, and slow you down at the ramp. A secure mounting system keeps everything locked in place and eliminates unnecessary hassle every time you hit the water.
Built For
Drift boat and raft owners transporting anchors regularly
Guides managing gear across multiple launches
Anglers looking for a cleaner, more efficient setup
Aluminum Raft Frame Cup Holder That Stays Put
Set your drink on the floor — or pinch it between your knees — and it's only a matter of time before it tips or spills.
This aluminum raft frame cup holder keeps it secure, upright, and exactly where you need it.
Why It Matters
Spilled drinks are annoying. Chasing them mid-float is worse. A fixed mount keeps your setup clean and distraction-free so you can stay focused on the water.
Built For
Thirsty fishermen on long floats
Rafters running multi-hour or multi-day trips
Anyone tired of chasing drinks around the boat
Simple upgrade, immediate payoff. No more spills, no more distractions.
