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."
Rod holder can be mounted in three different positions on each oar stand. Sturdy two position Motor mount for trolling.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Disclaimer: I work for a "major outdoor retailer" and sell the "XT" version of this pontoon...I purchased THIS version on Amazon because the price was -way- better than what I could purchase it for through my employer. As someone who sells these boats I can -promise- you that the majority of the issues people have with the valves are the result of people over inflating the pontoons beyond the recommended 2.5 pounds of pressure."
"Seat that comes with it is ok for leisure rowing and smooth water but don't lean back in seat hard if you're over 200 lbs. Seat studs will pop out of seat stripping the threading in the hole mounts of the plastic seat. This happened to me when I dropped a piece of trash in the water and tried to quickly retrieve it. Leaned back real quick and one of the front corner studs popped out."
"Great boat, very easy to assemble and very sturdy on the water."
"Happy days: quality product."
"My husband purchased this Classic Pontoon boat on July 17th 2010."
"AS advertized, works well, not as high as some due to the diameter of the pontoons."
"got a great price on this because the box was damaged but I would pay full price love it."
Removable gear bags provide customizable storage, including 20 pockets and two insulated drink holders.

"I love this boat !!!!"
"Using a coleman 12v airpump it took less than 2 mins to fully inflate the pontoons and about 10 mins to fully assemble the boat with all my fishing equipment and the trolling motor. Here are some pros and cons: When you just use the oars it is a little awkward and the boat tends to really veer in one direction or the other. It was initially hard to steer since the handle of the motor sat pretty much against my shoulder, but I used the anchor pulley system and routed some rope and steering became a breeze. Wind is a factor, especially if you are fishing and every cast will pull the boat in the direction you are retrieving..."
"This raft is an awesome tool for the serious fly fisherman, very stable in the water and easy to assemble."
"The oars were a lot more stout than I expected."
"good for the larger man who likes to fish lakes."
"It took a little while to set up and once It was I realized that when you have a trolling motor and a battery the wheel does one person no good. I would recommend that if you plan on using a battery and trolling motor set up as close to shore as possible. I bought a swivel for the seat that I definitely need to instal as there is no comfortable position to use the trolling motor without a swivel seat."
"Seat is slightly uncomfortable for long periods and the wingnuts work loose and the seat moves."

"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."

"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."
