PK-134 13.5' Peak
Built for a paddle crew and designed to stay useful as river levels change. The RMR PK-134 Peak is a 13.5-foot whitewater raft developed with input from outfitters who needed one boat that could carry a solid crew in bigger water without becoming sluggish when flows drop.
Designed Around Real Paddle Crews
The Peak series was developed around the needs of outfitters, and that shows in the PK-134. Rather than simply adding more length to a conventional raft, RMR built the boat around crew capacity and changing river conditions.
The PK-134 has room for up to six paddlers and is intended to remain useful across a wide range of flows. Loaded up, it gives a paddle crew the stability and capacity needed for bigger-water trips. With a lighter crew, the boat rides higher and stays more responsive when water levels drop.
Semi-Diminishing Tubes
One of the defining features of the PK-134 is its tube shape. The main tube section measures 19.5 inches and diminishes to 16.5 inches toward the ends.
That semi-diminishing design helps separate the Peak from RMR's standard SB lineup. The goal is to preserve stability and carrying ability through the center of the raft while reducing bulk toward the bow and stern for quicker maneuvering and better responsiveness.
Built for Changing Water
The real reason the PK-134 exists is simple: outfitters do not always get to choose perfect flows.
A boat that works well when the river is full can feel oversized later in the season. The Peak design was built to bridge that gap by carrying a larger crew in higher water and remaining useful with fewer paddlers when flows recede.
Traditional I-Beam Floor
The PK-134 uses a glued-in I-beam floor rather than a drop-stitch floor. That keeps the boat focused on traditional paddle-raft use and whitewater performance.
Three removable thwarts come standard with RMR's RTA Rapid Thwart Attachment system, along with front foot cups for paddle positioning.

PK-134 vs. SB-130 and SB-140
The Peak and SB boats overlap in size, but they are built around different priorities.
Choose the PK-134 when paddle-crew capacity, changing water levels, and outfitter-style whitewater use are the main priorities.
Choose the SB-130 or SB-140 when you want a broader multi-purpose platform for paddling, rowing, fishing, and overnight gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the PK-134 best for?
The PK-134 is best suited to paddle crews, outfitters, guides, and private boaters who want a high-capacity mid-size raft that stays useful across changing seasonal flows.
How many paddlers can the PK-134 carry?
RMR positions the PK-134 for crews of up to six paddlers.
What are semi-diminishing tubes?
The PK-134 uses larger tube sections through the main body of the raft that taper toward the bow and stern. On the PK-134, the tube section diminishes from 19.5 inches to 16.5 inches.
Why does the Peak use diminishing tubes?
The design is intended to combine stability and carrying capacity with reduced bulk at the ends of the raft, helping the boat stay responsive and maneuverable.
Is the PK-134 designed for low water?
It was designed to remain useful as flows change. With fewer paddlers aboard, the boat can ride higher and stay more responsive during lower water periods.
Is the PK-134 a fishing raft?
Fishing is possible from many rafts, but the PK-134's primary design focus is whitewater paddle-crew use rather than fishing. RMR's SB and SBDS models are better suited to buyers whose primary goal is building a fishing or frame-based rig.
What is the difference between the PK-134 and SB-130?
The PK-134 is more specifically focused on paddle crews, seat capacity, and changing flow conditions. The SB-130 is a more general-purpose raft designed to cross over between paddling, rowing, fishing, and overnight use.
