Sea Eagle FSK16 FishSkiff Inflatable 16', High Pressure, All-Drop-Stitch, 1-3 Person Frameless Fishing Boat w/Rigid 6” External Keel - Portable, Storable, and Transportable

Had every type of boat liked how portable this looked. It’s easy to assemble great quality. Pricey but you get what you paid for. I’m 250lbs and the floor feels rock solid under my feet.

A great solution if you have limited space to store a boat. Very sturdy and easy to use alone or with others onboard.

The media could not be loaded. I have owned numerous boats in my life, all have been fiberglass or aluminum, this is my first inflatable. I have to tell you that transporting it in the back of my F150 with the 5 hp mercury. Outboard is a piece of cake. For reference, I am 175 pounds, my son always goes with me who is 10 years old and he is about 75 or so pounds. I have the wheels to pull it to the boat ramp. Total prep time is about 30 minutes, about 20 to deflate and get back in the truck. all of that is done with an electric inflator. Ridiculously stable, will handle serious wind driven chop, doesn’t flinch at boat, wakes, but it is a very small skiff. With a 5 hp I top out at about 14 miles an hour wide open. But it is a great skiff as long as you don’t think it’s going to be a 25 foot Key West or Grady white. Go into it with the expectation that it is a stable, nimble, fun, little skiff, and you can mix it up with traffic a little. but, by no means, is it a bass boat that rolls up. I love this little thing, you said every chance I get.

This is a boat for those anglers that don't want to store a rigid boat and its trailer and deal with that trouble.I bought this with my cousin to share for fishing. Here are some details I missed in other reviews:- We have 4h on it so far and two outings- The hull is surprisingly rigid when properly inflated at 14.5PSI- On a nice day, smooth water, the boat will reach about 15-16mph with a 9.9hp outboard motor with two people on board and their gear including the tank, good enough for most lakes, it does plane at 15mph, but also uses gas much faster at max RPM, that's the nature of the engine used ("24 Merc, 4 stroke, 9.9hp, 15" shaft)- Moderate fuel consumption at 3/4 throttle, about 11-12mph with same load- Including the break in procedures (6 min full throttle), we used about 2/3 of the 3.1 gal tank- Gets blown by wind, if don't want to invest in expensive troller, anchor good enough to hold in place- Enough room at the bow for a trolling motor mount, pedal and battery- At high speeds over waves, the boat will slightly twist and bend (it's made of rubber, right?), but it will hold steady- It does quite nice forward turns and it handles well in reverse- Stops pretty quickly when throttle is shut- Do not try stunts with it, it is not made for such- Lateral wake waves from larger power boats will rock it quite a bit, best to turn it into waves- There's no remedy for those pesky power boaters that need 250hp with a throttle to feel important in life, so seek a fishing only lake- Seats are firm enough to fish seated,- When not moving fast, one can fish in standing- Moving around the boat takes some practice, but much easier than on a large surf board- Has rubber "rails" to allow touching, rubbing against the dock- Stepping on the boat from the dock back and forth is not difficult, takes some practice- May take some wet feet when launching, best bow first, then install the motor in raised position- Hull material seems strong enough to now worry about hooks and blades occasionally laying or falling around, but it's better to keep track of all sharps at all time- It is somewhat heavy to handle, two people will have to put in some muscle to wrestle it, alone is possible, but quite a piece of work- It takes time to prepare, load, unload, launch, take out, load, unload- 20-30 minutes using a 12V pump to inflate all 4 chambers, especially the main chamber takes quite a while- 30 minutes to launch, install engine, seats, luggage, registration plates...- Look away when deflating the chambers and pressing the valve, the escaping air can cause injuries to eyes- Remove transom before! deflating- We chose to install racks on my Tacoma (cab and bed), we now carry it fully inflated top side up, bow first, when strapped properly, 65-70 mph no issue, some noise and some resonance at certain speed, to be avoided- Can be fully carried by any Tacoma in deflated form- Relatively easy to wrap and pack, but not easy to wrap to be put in back in the box- Requires about 30sqf for storage, including motor- The heavy duty wheels sold by Sea Eagle for it are good, but you will have to replace the original eye bolts, with 3/8x6" ones (some drilling) to prevent twisting 90 deg, this is important- All in all for the price, a very practical solution to not needing a trailer and space to storeI hope this holds over time, will update if anything comes up.Happy boating, good luck fishing all!

Pros: I have owned this boat for about a year now and I have put this thing through its paces..I have taken up to 4 ppl total (ppl were about 180lbs a head including myself) while fully loaded with motor and gear (about 300 lbs) and managed to do 8mph with some water splashing into the boat from minor chop (6ph gas 4strk yamaha)I have ran the boat through thick brush when retrieving lures with full confidence it will not puncture. Also never worried about fishing lures puncturing when I side cast or skip lures .. (Very minor scuffing is noticed but this boat is as thick as a rugged gardening hose which you could easily run over with a car)Only con: this boat will get blown around by even the slightest bit of wind and is incredibly frustrating as a bass fisher man (it is never convenient to drop anchor every 5 ft from spot to spot while fishing the bank when repositioning)●I built my own bow mount trolling motor mount/bracket since I now run a minn kota terrova bow mount with spot lock which 100% solved problems with the windI highly recommend this boat but spot lock trolling motor is an absolute must once you realize the wind issues (which many other inflatables in the market suffer from)

This boat is the best in South carolina I can use it into any river system and lake in South carolina and also this boat is tough like a crocodile for real everyone do yourself a favor buy one it want tear or rip I Guarantee 💯
