Overall this little boat has been great. We have taken it out lake fishing lake a few times and it's performed quite well. Set up takes about 20-25 minutes with a foot pump, and with a wheel kit we can roll down to the launch and be underway in under a minute. It is not a fast boat. We leave the wheel kit attached which might slow us down a little. We have a 30-pound thrust motor. I don't feel comfortable going above setting 3 out of 5 because of the stress it puts on the motor mounts. The boat is stable, the seats are comfortable, and there is adequate room for two of us and our gear. I think this boat would struggle in a headwind. I'd only recommend it for small lakes, or maybe larger lakes on calm days. Open water weather conditions can change quickly so try to head out against the wind so it will be easier to get home. The materials feel durable and construction looks good. I will probably invest in an electric pump sometime in the near future. I recommend thoroughly washing after fishing.
Haven't had the STS10 for that long, but the 5 or 6 times i've inflated and used the boat, it has not disappointed! The construction in my opinion, is more than what i expected. It's rugged, and the pictures don't really show it that well, but the bottom of the boat has some wear reinforcement that is holding up really well so far. I use it to fish larger inland lakes and smaller streams, so it gets skidded across all kinds of abraisive surfaces. Grade A construction. The transom motor mounts molded in to the hull are tough...a bit too tall when trying to connect my trolling motor...The portability is amazing. I have a sub compact suv and the whole kit including the motor and batteries fit inside with room to spare. It's truely the most important feature i was after when shopping for a fishing boat. Buy the plug in air pump, and a 1000AH 12.8 v. lithium ion phosphate battery. This boat needs both IMO. Also a great option for a charger is the Noco Genius 10.
Works great in the local lakes!
Great time on the water, easy to assemble.
