I use the boat to float / fish our local river which I used to fish frequently but a canoe became too cramped and unstable. This river is rocky, class 1 / 2 rapids. The Foldcat allows us to comfortably fish the river. I have a trailer it slides into perfectly. The dolly makes it easy to wheel for longer distances and can be strapped on the boat to use at take out if needed. The handle placement on pontoons makes it easy for 2 people to carry it. I have both seats at the higher level and they spin 360 deg. The boat is very stable to fish from, handles all our gear and I have 4 rod holders. Steering is not difficult- much easier than a one person pontoon.
I use an anchor drop at the bow but don’t use the front bar. Do not leave it in the sun out of the water for long or the air chambers can expand too much and pull out of the connection to pontoons - a pain to fix. I’ve had more fun fishing on the river since I got the Foldcat and highly recommend it, well engineered and constructed!
We highly recommend our 303 Aerospace protectant. Its like a sunscreen/wax for your inflatable boat. You apply every 6 weeks or so and it keep the material very healthy and looking like new! - https://www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/303-protectant
