Much higher quality product than I expected for the price.
Much higher quality product than I expected for the price ($280 at time of purchase). The 7.5 foot version has slots for 3 floor boards, but beneath that is an open sleeve that allows you to add a fourth board. The inflatable material is very durable. The transom is plenty rigid. The movable seat is very handy. It does not appear to loose any pressure over the last 2 months of use. The recommended max pressure of 3.6 psi seems to be about twice the pressure that makes it "rock hard" which I measured at1.5 psi. The oars work but are very challenging to use.I also measured the speed (mph) and amp usage of a 12 volt Minn Kota 46 pound thrust trolling motor:Speed setting Amps Mph 1 6 1.3 2 8 1.5 3 13 2.2 4 16 2.4 5 31 3.5You get the highest speed by placing as much weight as far forward as you can (put the heavy batteries up front).

I have a 26ft sailboat and needed a tender to to be easily stored. I got the 2 person and it is a tight two person.Well constructed craft .Nice handle in the front with side ropes leading aft and a rub rail on the sides.It is not a light weight rubber raft.Only concern is the ores aluminum tubes are to light and will bend but not tested yet.I think it was well worth the money.

100% worth the money, if it holds up.
I’ve had this raft for a few days now and have immediately put it to the test with a 3.5 merc 4 stroke. I live on my sailboat which is on a mooring ball, so I use the raft twice a day and so far so good. With the 3.5 horsepower the raft will go 4-5 mph according to my phone but with it being a soft bottom it will not get on plane (expected it gets me from a to b fast enough). I bought the 7.5 raft and it is tight with myself and girlfriend but doable, I’m 5’10 150 and she’s 5’2 110 but it still pushes us fine to the sailboat, we are not hanging out on the raft. When the package came the box was heavily beat up so I inspected the raft and everything looked fine. It didn’t come with instructions to assemble but I think there’s a video but I decided not to watch it and figured out assembly no problem. I pumped up the two chambers with the provided foot pump in less than 10 minutes then slid the three included ribs in just before fully inflating. So fare zero complaints. I am concerned about durability only due to the price but my thought is if it lasts a full season in the sun at 9,000 feet it is worth the money. I kind of wish I got the 10 footer only due to more versatility but for a 1/4 mile boat tender for two people it’s perfect and with it being so small it’s super east to move around on land without deflating. Last thing is everyone around the marina is impressed with the purchase and for the price I think we are going to see more of them around here. If you are looking for a cheap, seemingly durable tender I’d give this one a chance. Oh yeah, I also rescued a stand up paddle boarder with the raft today towed her SUP while she rode shotgun and it worked great.

great bang for the buck for a budget, light duty dinghy.
For the money, this is an exellent light duty dinghy. If you need a dinghy for hard use, you are much better off with a used Hypalon (Avon, Achilles, etc) dink which will last for decades. I dont expect this to last more than a few seasons, but as a spare its phenomenal for the price. The fabric looks solid and the glue looks adequate. The one negative is the storage bag, the zipper failed on the first use, its flimsier than the cheapest zipper you can imagine, so dont plan on using it. I would buy again at this price point. I see many of these at my local marina. Unless you go hypalon from a reputable brand, this is a better deal than the POS overpriced cheapo pvc ones sold by zodiac and west marine which are only marginally better at 10x the cost.

Perfect for ONE large adult and one small adult
Perfect for ONE large adult and one small adult. Works well in every respect. I wish the Oar connection to the mount on the raft was not plastic though. Easy to use.
