Sea Eagle FSK16 Inflatable Fishing Boat Reviews

Everyone on the lake wanted to know where to get one. I’m very upset tho. I purchased the boat and had it stored, like many people would. I went online to see what engine capacity the boat was rated for. Learned that it was rated for 10hp. So, I purchased a 9.9hp motor for more power. Then put the boat together to find the transom states 6hp max. I called SeaEagle to get the truth and learned they changed the transom. My boat was only 3 or so months old and it was already outdated.

I received my Fishing Skiff 16 “Green Machine” in 8 boxes. All the boxes appeared in damaged, but when I put the skiff together I found damage to the transom and discovered the handle cover missing. I also thought the canopy was too wide for the skiff, but learned that it was the correct one. They have shipped me the replacement handle cover promptly. They were out of the transmits and will ship me a new one when they are back in stock. Meanwhile they said just use the damaged transom until my replacement arrives and offered me store credit as compensation for my inconvenience with out my asking for it. The staff is helpful I couldn’t ask fro better service. I am waiting for my wife’s next day off to take the skiff out. We have named our skiff “Quality Time v2.0”. Having had a 25’ sail boat by the name “Quality Time.” Because it has a motor I had to register it in California. I am trying to figure out the best method of putting the registration number on the tubes. Great staff support!

Took the boat out for the first time a couple weeks ago and worked great, was just missing the padded handle cover that was supposed to come in the orange Patch container, emailed about it a few weeks ago, hadn’t heard back. It would help for show full review ▼ moving it around

We have setup the Fish Skiff once in our living room and twice on two lakes. It performed exceptionally well cruising and crossing wakes. We enjoyed fishing, even though the fish didn't cooperate. We even velcroed a fish finder to the rear of the boat. It will work very well for us!

I love it very compact for the size sturdy on the water. I recommend a good air pump for this boat.

Sea Eagle... I purchased my FSK-16 in May of 2020 and have taken it out to multiple lakes throughout the summer. The whole process from ordering online to receiving the boat went very smooth. I am totally and completely happy with the construction quality of this skiff. It is extremely stable for fishing with two full size men. Sea Eagle was outstanding in taking care of a premature failure of the Watersnake Trolling motor I purchased. A replacement was sent out immediately. I do a lot of camping and this boats dimensions have made it possible to store and transport the skiff and all the accessory's over the top of two full size Quads in a 16 X 7 foot trailer. This allows me to keep the boat inflated while in storage and in transit. I get a lot of "WOW's" on being able to bring our Motorhome unit, a Functional fishing boat and Quads all at the same time. The only criticism I have is the advertised speed attainable with the Honda 5 is not 16 mph but actually 10-12 depending on the weight on board.

used the boat to Crappie fish on Black Lake NY . I fished for 5 weeks leaving the boat inflated and docked for the whole time . Boat worked well for the most part . I do have an extremely slow leak on one side and the transom is falling a part . The leak I have not found and the transom I purchased 14 SS bolts and fender washers to hold it all together . I also tried to run a strap that held the transducer that went around the whole boat a big fail and did not allow the boat to plane (thought it was a boat problem) everything was fine once I removed the strap . I am running a 6 hp tohatsu motor very pleased with motor . As far as seating I would like to move the drivers/rear seat forward 8-10 inches but not able as the seat is or has to be strapped down . Also the locking Mechanism is a pain so much so I removed it from the drivers seat . It's a great boat to fish out of and enjoyed the heck out of it . Seats themselves work well as far as comfort and fish-ability . I also bought the wheels and axle to move

Very easy to set up, takes 30-40 mins. You definitely need a turbo pump. I decided to go with a Suzuki 6HP 4 stroke(website recommended max HP). Boat does 15-17MPH w 3 adults. Boat is very sturdy and rigid, does not feel like an inflatable. We have taken boat out in 3foot chop in Biscayne Bay Miami and handles well. As expected for a boat of this kind, you will get drenched! Hey that is part of the fun. With gear, seats and motor on, it’s too heavy to carry. You will need a dolly or a small trailer.

Fabulous boat! Sturdy, easy set up, great storage!

A furniture Dolly with a rope is a far better device than the two wheel cart purchased through you. I LOVE my boat!

I’m happy with the boat. The only possible improvement would be to find away to handle taller waves.
