I bought mine used off Florida Sportsman for sale thread. I have the six man Viking offshore raft. Got a heck of a deal from a guy that had to sell his boat due to health issues. New ones run from 2-3 grand. You can rent them if you don't go out much,but I can't remember the vendor. Check the back pages of Florida Sportsman.

Just had to ask. Why would you want to start a fire in a raft?

I don't know how big your boat is but if you're boating in the winter time, you might want to inquire about survival suits. I'm assuming you operate your boat offshore. I can assure you it will be wet in the raft and you can forget about stepping from a sinking boat directly into the life raft. If you feel that survival suits are an overkill, at least includesome space blankets in your inventory. Also, pack some candy bars in your emergency rations.
