I bought my Foldcat in 2006 and it's still going strong. I've had to put a patch or two on her over the years. I use it all the time, about to take it to a week long fishing trip. The picture I added is a lake with primative camping, where we load the boat and row the gear/supplies to the far side of the lake. I tell people all the time that this was the best $ I've ever spent on recreation. THIS BOAT DOESN'T OWE ME A DIME.
