This boat is remarkable, it’s sturdy, easy to put together for a quick launch into almost any type water. My son and I both put the boat together and it operated as expected. With an electric motor and both of us having a combined weight of over 400lbs, and some tackle, the boat navigated the water with ease and quickness. Several people were amazed when I took it out of the water and stored it in the back of my Jeep. They couldn’t believe it fit so well with all the equipment and gear. Several people wanted the Sea Eagle website to look for the same boat to buy! My son was happy to be out on the water too, and not just looking at his cell phone!
