Looking at the minimal rafts out there like Klymits LWD, it seems to me there is a possibility of a little different raft that could be had for less weight.
I would think a raft with only a single layer bottom that could have a full length pad inserted under the main tube that would wrap around it could be much lighter???
You could also use a better, stronger material for the bottom.
I am not sure if the bottom would just sag or not?
Seems you would only save a little weight but the pad-raft would weigh more than just the pad.
Just seems something with the mix would/ could work?
