Obviously a puncture is the weak link in any inflatable. We could easily carry enough camping gear on this boat to stay along the shore someplace over night if we wanted to. Although I have not tried this in the boat alone, only with my wife in front casting as well. It's stable enough that I can stand on the carry rack and cast from it. It will hold all the gear and an ice chest. The swivel seats on the aluminum "white water" raft type frame provide fantastic level of comfort.
That seems high to me, but not sure what to compare it to. This is nothing at all like the stability of a canoe. The stability is such that I can stand and fish or we can change positions front to back easily by just standing up and walking around each other. The pump that comes with it pumps on both up and down stroke. The rubber is as tough as any white water rafting material made, It takes about 25-27 pumps from the air pump per chamber, 5 chambers. We can row to shore and get out and pull it up easily, as well as launch from anyplace without a boat launch. If you were able to use it as a drift boat with a vehicle at each end it would float the river perfectly! I added some scotty rod holders which was a great way to get the rods out of the boat and open up the space. Adding my minnKota will be a huge improvement and really get up up stream far! We have spent as much as 5 hours on this boat and covered more then two miles in breezy conditions just casually rowing it and fishing. The boat rows with exceptional ease, it's nothing at all like rowing a rubber raft. I wish they had a slide lock to keep them from sliding out of the oar locks when you let go of them! The seats and fittings fit together perfectly and the anchor system is ingenious! The supplied oars made by Cataract are high end nice oars. You do not have to be a 25 year old big athletic guy to handle it. I loaded it into the back of my pickup by myself. I assembled this the first time in 20-30 minutes by myself. My wife and I have used it a fair amount and she is not an expert canoeist or Kayaker by any stretch!įirst, everything on the youtube videos, and their website is factual and not embellished. However I have used it now a little bit and thought I would share both our feelings on this. I'm not paid by them, and I actually bought this so I'm not marketing it for them. I was fortunate to get one of these to try out and purchase at the "kick starter" program they used to kick it off. I had to watch the videos and hear the pitch over and over for days! My booth was across from theirs at the Portland Sportsman"s show.
