Sea Eagle FS126 Inflatable Fishing Boat Reviews

Hello,

To be honest, I haven't used the boat as much as I'd like. I took it on a trip to South Carolina, bumped in to a pier and put small slices into the surface of the rubber. It did not seem to cause a leak but I was surprised and how sharp the barnacles were and easily the scratch the surface layer. I'm hesitant to take into saltwater again. The rubber seems a little soft and you have to be too careful, That aside, I used it in South Carolina and again locally on pond. It's very stable. I found fishing from it very easy. A couple complaints... First...it's heavy. The guy with it on his back all neatly packed up must be a weight lifter because I can barely get the whole thing off the ground. I also found the transom a little difficult to figure out and still haven't put the motor on because it looks unstable. The seat takes a bit long to set up. That whole looping strap thing is a pain. You need to figure out how to make that easier. Lastly it's not quite Fly Fishing Friendly.

Only used twice so far, it's as awesome as I had hoped, a sport paddle board camper. My review is very good, but with a gaping caveat : Only 1 fill chamber. Design must strive now to re configure a fail safe something: (like X's baffling inside primary chamber + (would add stability) The craft is a sporty enough platform to endanger a wayward adventurer into a puddle with but one valve. OK SeaEagles, I wanna help you make this FS126 Great with Best Practice's for Marine applications. USA
