rafts
Whole bunch, informally
Rafts is the plural of raft—flat platforms for floating on water, whether improvised from logs or inflatable for whitewater recreation.
More commonly, rafts means large quantities: rafts of data, rafts of complaints, rafts of new regulations.
This informal sense suggests abundance bordering on excess.
