AZ, or should I say Homeboy :-) The color of that raft is a bit altered by the digital process produceing the photo. The raft is black, the words River Rat are green, and the Big Rat in the middle is red. Only you would try and make an arguement about the color of my Wal Mart raft :-) In regards to what youv'e heard, and what your off again, on again buds say, informational reliability is not one of your strong points. Now get your blue and white rubber Ducky, go have a relaxing soak, and give Puff a kiss for all of us :-) PS Could you please improve your grammer, and use more paragraphs when you post here :-)
