BOB and Bike on Raft?

[Rick Hay]

I realize this could also go in the bikepacking forum but I figured I'd ask here. Has anybody put a bike and bike trailer both on a raft? I have a Denali Llama and have played around with putting my bike on it. I'm at a crossroads with getting a few bags or a Bob Ibex but I'm not sure if it would be too unsteady.
Thanks

No way a Bob and a bike will fit in a Llama, maybe if you don't need to also put yourself in there.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for confirming.

Depending on the water, it might be plausible to tow the BOB with your raft.

This idea is a little nuts, but if you in calm water and if you are using a large dry bag anyways with the BOB, you may be able to securely close the drybag and keep it attached to the Bob for floatation, and then affix the whole thing to the tail of your raft via the 2 rear tie down points. This might work to cross a lake or float a short distance on a deep slow river.
