I have a few questions: 1. Is this easy to maneuver with just one person? we want to be able to go with one or two adults. 2. If you have owned this for while, can anyone speak to long term durability? 3. I am concerned about safety with taking my two...

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 does ok for an adult. If you are aproaching 200 lbs you need to give it a chance to get up to speed. It is much better on level ground, uphill is going to have it's issues with top end. Overall it can be a lot of fun if you don't have expectations that are unrealistic for what you are paying for. All in all it is a lot of fun, well worth the price.

It's fine for an average adult, only consideration is it's size- anyone over 130 pounds or 5'8" might get a better ride with the larger one- 60". (I use the 60" and my daughter the 45")

(1) yes (2) it IS very heavy, which makes it very sturdy (a good thing.) 2 adults can move it, but it is a little bit of a struggle as it doesn't have hand-holds and one side is heavier than the other.

We haven't had any problems without it. Me,my wife and kid have all been on it and it doesn't seem to be a problem. If you have three adults then maybe it would be a good idea. But I wouldn't but it if your kids are the only ones swinging.

I love mine. I can do it by myself no problem. Its a little faster with 2 persons but not by much.

I am a buyer, not the company, sorry. I do love mine though. It's light, easy and two riders I could never get in a three different strollers before, climb right in and never complain. I can pop it into the back of my 4x4 SUV with one hand. I don't even pop mine down but it easily does. The kids feel like they are having fun because they can actually sit straight up comfortably. The back seat reclines enough for the baby to rest so it's perfect.

I would not recommend it because the seat isn't large enough for two. Also, I don't think it would be safe because it would be too hard to steer.

It is great! This stroller is so easy to maneuver even with one hand, the wheels and suspension are great and glides so easy! I never bump into things. It is really the perfect size stroller that glides so nicely and smoothly! It fits super compact when folded with the seat and doesn't seem bulky at all to me. Hope this helps!

My family and I really enjoy using it very much, but it is more for light recreational use vs. performance sport use. It definitely performs better for smaller people - bigger people can use it, but they sit lower in the water which impacts speed and manueverability, and they have a higher centers of gravity which impacts stability. I think it might be a combination of height and weight. I think the 140 lb (maybe 150 lb) weight limit is pretty accurate. As far a height, I think 5' 6" might be close to the limit thinking about leg length to fit in the foot holders.

We have had multiple kids climb on it while others were climbing up the back, so I'm sure we've had 200 pounds on it. Lasted one whole season fine (5-6 uses) and we haven't gotten it out to see how it held up in garage over winter. I think you would be fine to go one adult at at time, but it's nowhere near the size of the ones you rent from inflatable places.

I am using by myself most of the time. It is easily to navigate. The seats are also inflatable you can put them wherever you want.

Never used it with only one rider. I have ridden with my 5 year old and it is fine.

There is a weight limit. It is difficult to navigate if you exceed the weight limit. On a lake, I have many times had both my kids in one boat with me, but three adults is difficult. If you were going to navigate a river I wouldn't recommend more than two people.

I am 5 ft 2 and my weight has been as high as 220 at one time and I had no problems with it. I have owned it for a few years now and wish I had done as my husband told me and bought it sooner. I have had so many people stop me in stores to ask about it as it is smaller than most mobility vehicles and easy to maneuver through store aisles. It usually runs fine on the grass as well as pavement.

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

I think it's very easy to transport = you may have to judge the weight for a child if you fill it to capacity. You can also carry it on your shoulder. I have this one and the smaller one like it.
