So far this boat works as expected, can be inflated in about 15 minutes, assembled in about half an hour depending on the number of additional components. I wish it had more attachment points on the front side. Right now I am planning to glue on two more. Paddling in this kayak is doable, but the most pleasurable is having motor attached to it especially when going fishing. This kayak is a very good platform for fishing, especially with the front support frame mounted on. I have an electric Newport NT 300, which can propel this kayak up to 6-7 mph max. Overall I am very happy with it.
