I have been very pleased! I was skeptical, having spent money on “portable” items before they weren’t all that. I have a pull behind RV trailer and wanted something I take and could fish out of. Takes me about 30 minutes to assemble (I’m getting faster all the time) and 15 to disassemble. It is easy to fold up, and really does fold to 5’x2’x1.8’, which fits in my truck bed. The seats are stable. I put a 6 go motor on and it moves as fast as I want to go. I have a 9.9 I haven’t tried yet. It is very stable in smaller waves. I have used it to fish inshore coastal waters, and to float the James River for smallmouth. Can’t speak to longevity as I’ve had it less than a year
