raft
Logs lashed together
A raft is a flat floating platform, typically made of logs, planks, or inflatable material, used for transportation on water: We built a raft and floated down the river.
Informally, a raft means a large quantity: a whole raft of problems, a raft of new regulations.
To raft is to travel by raft, especially for recreation: We went rafting on the Colorado.
