"It is well made, but I swapped out the plastic knobs on the aluminum arms that hook onto the boat with some hairpin type hitch pins."
"Fits perfectly on my Mariner 4 boat."
"I used it on an electric 40 motor, on my intex mariner 4, but I don't have that boat anymore, 2 of them I owned and both would get popped by almost anything."
"This mount works great for my Intex Excursion 5 Boat Set - Latest Model."
"Hooked up to the back of my Intex Sehawk 4, and it easily holds my minn kota 30-lb thrust motor and powers me around lakes and even rivers."
"It fits very nicely, what I also like about it is that I leave my motor attached because it makes a nice stand to store my motor when it is not in use."
"Very cool product."

"I bought the Sea Eagle 330 Inflatable Kayak and I LOVE IT!!!"
"The seats have a pillow like back and provide good support, no problem there. The boat tracks well but it is affected by winds because of the shape and size of the side chambers. Added shock cord along the edge for my convenience....see video on YouTube, but I made my own improvements."
"It's easy for one person to carry and the kayak fits in a fairly small space. I wanted it to be completely dry before packing it up again, and water finds ways of staying trapped in little nooks and crannies. The oars disassemble nicely and when assembled, they feel great in our hands."
"Never had a leak or tear in the boats, and they have run into logs, rocks, and rough sand, although we didn't hit them hard because of being prudently cautious. By the way, I weigh over 300 lbs, so if you are a big person (who is still nimble - you are sitting low in the water)this will work for you if you are an active person."
"We have used this kayak on two vacations in mountain lakes."
"Glad I don't have to blow up the small valves on the Sevylor Tahiti boats (floor and spray guards) and seats. I use an electric inflator to get the boats 80% full and then finish with the foot pedal...much quicker this way."
"Used it a few times on open lakes.. already two holes that have needed patching, and we have not been hard on this kayak."

Hopefully I will be able to reach back and add some more air while on the water since the water is usually colder than the air causing it to shrink a bit. The only water I had come in was from my shoes but a small packtowel under your knees is handy to catch the water before it gets to your seat."
"Be careful if there is a mountain breeze it does act like a sail and is hard to paddle against breeze using one paddle."
"Ultra-lightweight, small package size, easy to use."
"remarkably durable for how light and inexpensive."
"Amazing product, very light-weight and very useful for adventurers."
"Very lightweight and easy to inflate, it only took me 5 minutes."
"Light weight, tough and a high lakes fish slayer!"
"I am an experienced canyoneer and kayaker - I spend a good amount of time in Grand Canyon (6-8 trips per year) I have routinely packrafted the Colorado River after exiting technical slot canyons - only attempting minor / unnamed rapids of course and portaging around the big ones. I am 6'2 and weigh 180#, I also routinely carry a 40 pound backpack in Grand Canyon - full of rope, technical gear, water, food, bivy, etc. I fought the current and struggled to keep it straight and immediately a small wave (one that would not have even bothered the explorer) upset my position in the raft and my pack went overboard. This thing sucks for anything other than still water and very light weight payload. I STRONGLY advise anyone who is considering this item to follow the following advice : 1> This packraft has a "flat" design - perhaps that helps make it easier to make therefore less costly - but in doing so, it significantly raises the seating position or center of gravity, putting you further out of the water. 2> Due to the same flat design, the drag through the water is nearly double that of a traditional design. 3> The Explorer 200 is far better suited for true packrafting, despite its weight and bulk, its a far better design and a lot more stable. Unfortunately, the design has its limitations and its poorly suited for anything but calm waters and light payloads. It is a somewhat unstable design, in the unsuspecting hands, you might be tempted to think it handles like a Supai or Explorer, and like I did, go on a trip with it and get into trouble."

"We used a similar pedal boat when we went on our Girl Scout Camporee last month and we knew we had to get one of our own for the lake."
"You pedal and pedal and you hardly move because the boat is weighted down."
"We have moved away from our home on the lake, so we sold this, but we had some great times on this thing, from fishing to sunbathing, and just enjoying peaceful times on the water."
"Anyways the hole was easy to patch, and for the money I saved it was well worth it. The boat is easy to pedal and steers pretty good. You can make pretty good progress against a good wind, I was afraid of going out and the wind making it impossible to get back to shore. We had about 15mph wind in our face and still made pretty good progress."
"Nice paddle boat."
"Davis lake, Sardines lake, Gold lake in California."
"Easy to store and handle."

Find Best Price at Amazon"-I have to drag it over a few rocks but the construction is so heavy duty (like a Zodiac) that so long as I don't go looking for sharp objects, it seems likely to last. Cons: -carrying bag is rather cheap: the metal fasteners break VERY easily, though Sea Stalker replaced my bag for me. -carrying bag could be improved by making main straps long enough to hold in one hand or make it to fit on someone's back. -I'm average height (5'8" guy) but the oar locks put the oars just beyond reach of either seat - I have to scooch forward to row comfortably."
"I own another Sea Eagle boat and own the cart and I use it all the time."
"Because I wanted a boat for bass fishing that I could take in and out of my truck I felt this was it. My wife couldn't help me because it was too heavy and awkward and I had to get a nearby fisherman to help me get it to the water, which was disheartening since the whole reason for getting this particular boat was so I could do it myself. I took the loss and bought a 12 v-bottom aluminum boat, had a fabricating company build a truck rack with a hand crank that I designed to get the boat on and off. I do think the inflatable boat would be great if there was mowed grass right up to the water and flat ground from where your parked."
"STS10 is everything they said it was and more."
"Zippy and fun."
"Perfect for what I need it for."
"everything is well built, but it is wintertime so I have not been able to get it on the water yet."
