437ps Paddleski™ Inflatable Boat Reviews
Andrew Zachoszcz
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 show more... 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.

I love my Sea Eagle Paddleski 437ps! I purchased it to enable me to go out and fish when I'm traveling in my Class C show more... RV. it's perfect. I've used it in lakes, rivers, and Inshore Saltwater applications with a 5hp motor and I can honestly say it's a very capable platform. Its stable enough that I was able to stand on my Engle 25 while using a remote to operate my riptide terrova and sight fish on the flats in Florida. I've used it on windy days in rough seas. It's very safe. Once, a rogue wave came over the side and filled it to the top with water, it never felt unsafe, moments later, the water had drained out and the Paddleski kept right on with the task of brining me back to the marina safely. If I had to find a downside, it would have to be the fact that under rough water conditions... you are going to be wet, just plan on it. That being said, you can bet your life on it's ability to get you back home. Getting wet to me is a reasonable trade off for all this wonderful inflatable craft has going for it.

I've taken it out several times, mainly when we go camping in our TT. Built this cart to get it to the water, strap it show more... with ratchet straps. I'm 6'3" 65 y/o, is there any way to raise the chairs, a longer post under the chair. It would make it easier to stand up to fish, or to stand up to stretch my legs. Please let me know. I don't want to modify anything that may nullify the warranty. Overall I'm very pleased with this boat. I love it's portability and ease of deployment. Also a shout out to Hawaiian Dan:)

Very good. Easy to assemble with epropulsion motor. Very stable. No Problem with 2 large (250 lb plus) riders.

I had the original paddleski which was great but the new model is superior in every way. The inflatable floor and seat configuration make it show more... great for cruising around the lake. I use it mainly for fishing and it is real handy for getting into shallow water. Sea Eagle customer service is very helpful with very short response time. There are two issues that I should mention. The transom is much better tan the old strap I had on the previous model but the problem is that once you use it for a while it is practically impossible to get it out of the brackets. This makes it heavier to load in my pick up and also takes up a lot more room to store since you can't fold it up. Also, I don't like the locking swivel seats. They are a pain when you are turning from side to side because you are constantly unlatching the seat. I put regular boat seats on mine. Other than those issues I am super happy with the paddleski.

Awesome, versatile watercraft, especially for us as RVer’s. We can easily store ours in one of our RV bays when traveling, or in the car. show more... It’s a breeze to inflate with the electric pump. Delivery was fast and on point, the customer service and staff is out of this world good with fast replies and assistance. Definitely recommend this product.

The whole experience dealing with your company has been seamless from the initial order to delivery to inflation. We are in our 70s and appreciate show more... how stable the vessel is on the water and getting in/out on the shore. We have discussed the dingy with many of our Fly-Fishing Club members who are also impressed. We have recommended it to a number already and see no reason why we should not continue. Will be using it in the ocean for 2 weeks from 16 Sept and will let you know how it performes with the 40lb Minkota motor.

I am a sixty-something woman and have been very pleased with this- you can motor to where the fish are, and then raise the motor show more... and paddle into very shallow places to fish. I can manage loading, unloading, etc all by myself. I bought an e-propulsion 3 hp motor (long shaft) and it works great. Recommend: leaving the transom on once you get it on the first time, it’s a bit of a struggle; 2) getting a 12v pump that you can use w your car cigarette lighter; 3) needs a heavier anchor than a 3-LB kayak anchor; 4) get the trolley, it’s really good quality and makes life easier! Note: If you buy Scotty mount and accessories you need the shorter stainless screws to use with the glued on Scotty pads. Have gotten lots of compliments at boat ramps from fishermen with ‘real’ boats.

After much research, my wife and I purchased the 437 Paddleski 2 swivel seat package with the free electric pump in November 2022. We equipped show more... it with a 55 lb trolling motor. We finally got to use it the first week in April, 2023. We love it and it is everything the ads and reviews stated. It's small enough to fit in our truck along with our ebikes when we go camping. I'm a 79 year old male with prior back issues and am able to inflate/set it up, transport and launch it with the wheels, and deflate it and load it back into my truck by myself (it is, however, the maximum weight I can handle). Delivery of it was much faster than expected and the customer service via telephone and email was extraordinary. Since it has a motor, it had to be registered. Sea Eagle recommended Boatnumberplate.com for attaching the registration numbers, which worked much better than the numbers I had made with Cricket. The only improvement I would make is to add a metal ring at each of the side handles, similar to the back handles.

Awesome. This thing is better than expected. It's easy to transport and fast to set up and pack ways

I am very pleased with the boat. My 3rd Sea Eagle.

I purchased a 437PS after much consideration. It is hard to make a substantial purchase without being able to see the product. After reading many show more... reviews, viewing many videos and receiving a sample of the material from Sea Eagle, we decided to jump in. We went with almost all the options we could purchase with 2 seats, Honda motor, sun canopy, electric pump, heavy duty dolly and life jackets. The packages showed up on my doorstep about 5 days after order. We couldn't wait to get it together and put in for our maiden voyage. I could not be more pleased with the concept, the product and Sea Eagle service. The boat is very easy to paddle either sitting or stand up paddled board style. The Honda motor is a dream. With the motor attached, I can operate in water a foot deep, allowing me to get back into creeks where the redfish reside! The ease of launching anywhere cannot be beat.

My wife and I had a Explorer 420 and loved it. We decided to upgrade to the Paddleski for easier access and our adventures are show more... more geared to large lakes so a more powerful motor is a advantage. So far we are very happy with the upgrade and we still have the Sea Eagle quality.

It is a good product. It is easy to setup and to store. The catamaran design of the boat gives it good stability even when show more... there is some wave around. The fairly light weight of the boat makes it fairly easy to handle and move around. The delivery and customer service of the company is also very good. I am quite happy with this purchase and will recommend this product to people who have the interest.
Andy Golden
The boat preforms as advertised on lakes and tooling around the coastal waters off of southern CA with a troller motor with 56 lbs trust. show more... I'm happy I purchased the optional canopy. The transom can be tough to attach so I leave it on when deflated.
Howard Hildebrandt
very happy with this boat,I have a 6 horsepower motor and electric and like how easily it moves and the stability.

It's raining and windy now, but I hope to put my paddleski in the water soon.
