Is there an inflatable keel on the boat? If not does boat still handle well?

yes there is an inflatable keel and it also has a rock guard on the keel and all around the boat.

We have taken it down class 3's and it has flipped during tight bends in the river. If you're more experienced, you may be able to keep it upright. We have had no issues with punctures from sticks or jagged rocks. We are pretty rough with the kayak and have taken it down rivers at least 10 times over the last 2 years so it's impressive that it still works great!

I have taken this boat on a small lake along with a bigger boat. it is hard to control its direction, fits one perfect 2 fit tight but doable holds up to 350lbs I believe, but I also have a challenger 2person inflatable kayak that work a lot better for what you are looking for and fishing

I have owned this a couple of years now. 1)It is as easy to maneuver as a regular kayak as long as you have the rudder fins. In my original review, I wouldn't use this boat on a very windy and/or choppy day. 2)It is very durable. I have only had one small leak and that was after I hit some muscles that were on an underwater bridge pillar that we didn't see. For the record, my friend in a regular fiberglass kayak also received some small holes. 3)The leaks I suffered from the muscles were slow enough to row to shore and repair right there. The repair kit that comes with the kayak was easy to use and quick drying. We were kayaking again in about thirty minutes. However, if you check Sea Eagle's website they sell an underwater repair kit as well. I always kayak with the foot pump and repair kit with me just in case and, of course, everyone wears life jackets.

It handles good. It rolls slower the softer the sand is, and much easier on harder sand and gravel. It has good balance. I put two waterproof boat cushions in the bottom and pull my daughter all over in it. She loves it and so do I!

Yes, a minnkora 30lb is more than enough, but only if there is two person using the boat. Other than that just get your self another boat, because you won't have no room in that inflatable.

This one does not have a removable floor, just an inflatable keel. The one with the floor is the Mariner 4. Its pretty stable when fully inflated that you can stand and move around when needed, just don't expect to be able to stand and cast all day on it.

Yes if you have the attachment if your boat is inflatable or if your boat is metal there is no problem.

Although I haven't, I searched "how to put motor on inflatable boat" & there's people that did! I watched 1 on YouTube & a couple blogs. For the great price of this one it's worth trying & would be pretty cool to see it go! Though this is coming only from my experiences with putting them on bikes & some intermediate yachting understanding. If you do... All the more power to you!

If it's a calm one probably. I used it for a creek and it did fine when we just rode the current. Just remember it's still inflatable and not as tough and stable as a hard bottom boat

Yes you get some air and it is easy to get outside the wake on it. This is a very wild ride, not for beginners or really little kids. Keep your weight back on it when starting off so it does not submarine. Never has flipped over.

No, this is a great boat but I would suggest only using it on smaller lakes. If you are looking to take an inflatable boat into the ocean there's only one choice...a Zodiak.

Yes. It's simply bolted on. But don't but this thing. Total piece of junk. The rim collapsed and ripped apart as I moved my trailer around. Boat is an inflatable so wasn't overloaded or anything. I bought a heavy duty model.

Yes, it's an inflatable. It's large it's fun and it seems we will put together.

Definitely. It's comfortable, stable, rigid and easy .We had two people in it and only one could paddle - no problem

The WOW Waterway is INFLATABLE. It really does not take much time, maybe 15 minutes. We bought 2 used from Amazon and BOTH had holes. We put patches on each area and use for my 8 year old. Very sturdy. Buy NEW!!!

This boat is hard to paddle and steer in a straight direction if you're going down a river. Takes a bit of coordination, but you can manage. Just don't expect to go far in a short amount of time. Inflatable kayaks or canoes are speedier, or just get someone to tug you behind their kayak or canoe!
