Sea Eagle SE9 Inflatable Boat Reviews

My wife and I had a awesome year of floating and fishing on the yakima River that flows through West Richland Washington. The boat packs up tight and is loaded in our family car to the launch site. The boat is a good sturdy boat even when the weather is hot it stays sturdy and the material doesn't get loose. Sometimes the river is shallow in spots and have drug on the bottom with no problems. The boat deflates quick for easy loading. Best inflatable boat i have purchases

We really like our Sea Eagle. It’s better on smaller calm water especially with the canopy. Can be a little precarious with two people. We like to sit on the seats in the boat as opposed to the bench on top in the rear. The honda engine is great and does move the boat through the water pretty well.

We are a late 70’s couple. Use the S9 with 3 hp gas engine when we camp in our TT. box was damaged and some small parts were missing; no paperwork to allow us to get registration numbers. Once opened, the boat itself was intact and registration papers came upon request. The boat easily inflates with electric 12v and foot pump. Together we can lift the boat with nothing in it. After the initial hassle of putting the motor mount together, We left the motor mount attached to the bars and removed the whole thing from the boat. Oars are ok. Wouldn’t want to depend on them for long distance. Our engine moves the boat (not fast) sufficiently. There is room for 2 people, seats, cooler, fishing gear, bait and life preservers, maybe a child. The inflatable seats were not satisfactory and the sides of the boat partially collapsed when we leaned on them. We were looking for a lightweight inexpensive inflatable. The S9 works but may not be the boat for those of us who are not as young and agile as we used to be.

I ordered the watersnake motor canopy package. Shipping was about a week. The motor and mount came separate and seem to be good quality. I was told that my canopy was on back order and I would not get that until the end of July. The box the boat came in looked like it was a return by the looks of the box. I pulled it out and tested it only to find it has a leak. Words can not describe the disappointed look on my 5 year old sons face when I said we can't take the boat out tomorrow. I am still optimistic about this boat and I am hoping to get a replacement soon due to a leak in the seam of the main chamber and looks like someone had tried to glue it before. The reviews of others of how great the customer service and support is makes me feel this shouldn't be a issue. The excitement of taking it out tomorrow was quickly deflated "pun intended" and I'm highly annoyed that I now have to possibly wait two weeks for a replacement. Sea Eagle please reach out as soon as you get this. Thank you!
