Sea Eagle STS10 Inflatable Fishing Boat Reviews

I could not be any happier with the STS10. I bought the boat in hopes that when we travel to the lakes and rivers with our RV, I would be able to take it along and enjoy the water and fish. I have it stowed away in the under bay of our 5th wheel Trailer ready at any stop for action. I was a bit disappointed in the strength of the axle and wheels. The shaft bent first trip out due to the weight of the trolling motor , battery and gear in the STS10. I modified it with a light weight steel center shaft and it now works perfectly. I am most impressed with the sturdiness and the durability of the boat. The anchor system is awesome!! So nice to drift fish and when you get in the right place to be able to quickly drop anchor and hold on that perfect spot!! I have had two adults in the boat and it performed great. I would recommend this boat to anyone who enjoys the piece and quiet of the water!!

Love my sts10, plenty of room. I wish it would row like a regular v hull boat. Meaning that I would be facing the rear of the boat while rowing.I find it a bit awkward rowing facing forward. Also I wish the oars were a bit longer, they tend to come out of the water when rowing. Maybe I just need to get used to it, over all I really like the boat. It allows me to get into remote non pressured lakes and enjoy great fishing ! Quality materials and craftsmanship, I expect many years of enjoyment with it.

Let there be NO DOUBT..SEA EAGLE lives up to it's stellar reputation of QUALITY PRODUCTS backed by EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. Truly , I looked a long time for a rugged, durable, easy to transport boat which would host my Minn-Kota electric motor and stowed gear nicely. The STS10 perfectly fits both my fishing and "just cruising around" rivers, streams, and inland lakes here in Michigan. The durability of this boat is awesome. This evidenced a few times when running into fallen trees or hitting some low areas strewn with sharp rocks. A few scrapes but always emerged with NO PUNCTURES! This boat is the REAL DEAL.

1. Stability: stable, stand and walk with the floor board.

2. Speed:

(1) electric motor: slow, especially in waving water. around 3 mph with two 30 lb Minn Kota.

(2) gas motor: 3.5 hp Mercury, max 12 mph with 5 mph wind or below for one person (145 lbs), and 1 Walmart 24 DC marine battery. plane with full throttle (How: first get the nose up and move slowly to the front). Max 7 mph for one more person of around 120 lbs. Seaeagle is on the conservative side in speed estimation. recommend 20'' 3.5 hp Mercury with a full 2.5 gallon walmart gas tank. Need a trolling motor in the front for fishing (buy four motor mount brackets, industry strength glue, and Seaeagle motor mount (bracket hole diameter needs to be over 1.9 cm)).
