This is my 5th Sea Eagle.The quality / durability has always been very good, customer service responsive.Like others, mine also arrived w/ damaged transom and they were quick to resolve.Like others, this is not a kayak or paddleboard. Can you do it sure, but not realistic for multiple reasons- no rudder, skegs, large pontoons etc... Def. meant to have at least a trolling motor, my 34 lb Minn Kota did okay, but you can tell it wants more. On that!This is not as portable as the transom is a magic act to get it on. I've done it a few times at this point trying to figure out the "way", but its beyond tiring / frustrating as some have eluded too, so I also will leave it on and fold it, which greatly reduces the "portability". The boat is fine, but this could greatly be improved. (Pure coincidence I'm sure that all online videos skip this part and its "magically" on.... Besides that Sea Eagle quality....

Fast shipping and reliable seller. Paddles and seats were in different boxes, but all components arrived together. Tested boat couple times - no issues, sturdy, easy to inflate and deflate and fold, fit into toyota corolla trunk. great boat.

So far we have taken this out on the lake 8 times for upto 6 hours, works great with our 55lb thrust trolling motor. We paddle until we can't and then kick on the motor to bring us home. I feel totally comfortable taking this out in even the choppiest of waters, with big boats passing us on both sides. It just rolls with the waves, I never have a fear of it tipping over. I will say that it is a bit of a tank to manuever without some type of rudder, this is where our trolling motor is great, even when we are not running it. Easy to get in and out of the car, quick set up. I would recommend that you get the wheels to get it up and down the ramps. We can do it without the trolly wheels, but the wheels make it so much easier. We returned the bemini top, as it got in the way of us paddleing when up. With it's ease of transport, we have been able to take this to 8 different ramps on the lake, which is wonderful. Plan on taking it to Fl in the fall to do the intercoastal waterway. It is a wonderful option for those that don't want to tow a boat.

Very stable, extremely heavy duty. I have had inflatables before, this is top shelf all the way.

My wife and I have owed this boat for four years and we are very satisfied with our purchase. It is very transportable and we have used it on over 10 different lakes. However, it is important to understand what the boat is and what it is not. We initially thought that we would be using it like a kayak but it is somewhat heavy and difficult to paddle in a straight line—any type of wind will blow it off course. The following year we installed a trolling motor and that somewhat improved the experience. Last year we bought an Epropulsion ($$$) electric motor, which I believe is equivalent to a 3 HP gas outboard. Now we have sufficient power, range, and the lack of motor noise is a fantastic bonus. Tip: For packing up the boat after use, we found that the easiest way is to keep the transom attached, fold the sides toward the middle, roll the boat up from the back to the front, and then tie a rope around it to keep it from unrolling.

On buccoo beach Tobago, this is no ordinary kayak, stable as anything, handled ocean waves and swells like nothing I've ever been in this size, I'm a sea eagle fan from now on...

Purchased this from the Sea Eagle store on Amazon. Great boat! Received with a damaged transom that was promptly replace, in days, by Sea Eagle. I also had many questions about the boat and their customer service folks were fast to respond to emails. An outstanding experience and product!
