INTEX 68347EP Seahawk 2 Inflatable Boat Set: Includes Deluxe 48in Boat Oars and High-Output Pump - SuperStrong PVC - Fishing Rod Holders - 2-Person - 520lb Weight Capacity

I've owned this inflatable boat for almost 10 months now and have used it a handful of times. I've put a friend, me, and a backpack filled with food and water on it (which may have been 400 to 500 pounds); I've had just me on it, and it's handled all of it well. Having two people on the boat does require one person to sit with their legs crossed in order for both people to fit comfortable, and if you're taller than six foot then both people would have to have their legs crossed in order to be comfortable. I have a total of ten or so hours using this boat, and I intend to put more hours on it, but it's easily worth the money. I've taken it on a small lake in Illinois and a few lakes in Arkansas, and it was a joy to use every time. I've beached it onto small islands a few times and carried it across them, and it handled that well too. I would get a better pump then the one the kit comes with, a cheap bike pump makes inflating this take a few minutes versus the ten or so minutes it takes with the one this comes with; I got one at a thrift store for a few dollars and it made using this much better. The oars work fine and you can treat them a little roughly in order to go faster or maneuver tighter, but stronger oars would make going faster better; If you only intend to row at a manageable speed then the oars it comes with are good for that, even if you have two people in the boat. Overall I would recommend this to someone who wants a basic inflatable row boat in order to get out on the water and have some fun; if you want to go fishing or do anything extremely strenuous another boat may be a better choice, but for the price point this one handles great and out performs what I expected it to handle. It is not comparable to a kayak so do not expect to get a kayak's worth of performance out of this. It's easy to throw in the back of any car and get out on the water pretty fast and have a lot of fun.

To confirm, the boat I got is the Seahawk 2, 2 person. It so far seems to be a good boat. It did take about 10 minutes to inflate, have to pretty much pump at a good pace. The pump that came with it is better than I expected. The 3 air chambers inflated nicely, made sure the Boston valves sealed, they have a rubber gasket. The material is quite thick. At about 85 degrees in direct sun, I do expect it to appear deflated after it cools down. Checked the main seam all around for defects, looks good. I'll check it later to see if/how much pressure it loses, update then. Comfortable to sit in. I think it's good! My dog will be riding with me, I bought a thin yoga mat to protect the floor. Now, for what could have been better out of the box. The "French oars" are, well, flimsy and insufficient unless it's for kids just playing around close to shore. Not strong enough for meaningful rowing. One of them also has quite the bow to it. Basically, they're cheap. I'm using my kayak paddle. The "grab line" that's included is pretty wimpy, and mine is also frayed in a spot. No worries for me, I have a better braided cord to use. Why 5 stars? I don't think you can beat the quality of the boat for under $100. I'm aware from reading reviews some people got boats that leak, hopefully Spreetail addresses quality control. The oars and the line? Fine if it's used as a toy. I'm not gonna get all mad and send everything back, I can easily remedy what I don't like. Spreetail could, however, do better on those 2 items. Overall, so far it's worth it. *Next day update: no leaks after setting 24 hours, good

After reading many reviews I got the Seahawk 2 and I’m very pleased. The quality of the material is sturdy. It is very easy to inflate with the included pump, and the value you get for the price can’t be beat. The only negatives are the oars which don’t really do a great job paddling. Also the size is a lot smaller than I anticipated. I was hoping my adult son and I could take it out together but we didn’t feel comfortable doing that despite what the weight limit was advertised as. Even with all that it has been a great product and lots of fun. We can’t wait to take it out again.

I have been using Intex Seahawk 2's for years for fishing. They do get holes, they do leak a little. They do wear out, but for the price and convenience (rolls up to the size of a sleeping bag and fits in the trunk with ease) they are great little boats. I can row about as fast as the average kayak and I can row far in these boats. Typically I will row about 5 miles while fishing. They do not tip over, unlike a canoe or some kayaks. Helpful hints: 1. Buy a better pair of oars. I got a pair of oars from Intex like 7 years ago for $16 2. The pump it comes with is pretty good but get a Coleman rechargeable pump or something like that. 3. Make a seat ... you will slump down a bit with no seat. I put down a cushion life preserver and put a seat on top of that. Very comfortable and you will sit up higher. 4. I made a storage platform for the back. Very helpful for small cooler of beer and other stuff. 5. Keep a repair kit in the boat all times. With Tear Aid B and Air Stop you can fix any hole in about 5 minutes. 6. Always bring the Intex manual pump with you. You can put air in the boat while you are in the boat! I am 6 feet 2 inches and about 225 lbs. The boat will loose some air after awhile out on the water. I take a minute every two hours or so and add a little more air to top it off. You can do this will all three air chambers. Sometimes I go out for 6 or 7 hours and when I get back to the boat launch my boat is perfectly full of air just like when I first left. Basically, I put my boat in my car in like April and leave it there until about November. I always have my boat! I don't need to drag it from the back yard or wherever and put it on the roof of my Honda Accord. I takes up so little space, even if you have a small car you can just leave it in there. Very convenient! Just remember, leaks are very easy to fix with Tear Aid B and Air Stop (use them together). Tear Aid is a patch for PVC and dries instantly. Air Stop is glue but dries extremely fast. Just a minute or so. Cover the hole with Tear Aid and go around the edges of the Tear Aid with Air Stop. These boats leak a little air through the valves but like I said just bring the little Intex pump with you and put air in the boat whenever you feel it needs some.

Have been enjoying this boat all summer long! Very happy with the purchase. Inflates and deflates with ease (pump included). Love that you can break everything down and pack away. Has held up quite well so far, no issues. The only thing that its missing is a cupholder! But overall, a fantastic little boat. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this "boat" on a whim. Some good friends of mine have a canoe with a trolling motor and since it only comfortably seats two, I thought I'd buy this so they could tow me around. We discovered this was fun but I love using the boat by itself now. Now that I've used it a few times, I have to say it's an amazing little boat. Surprisingly solid rubber, seals, and Boston valves. The oars have no handles which make it a little unwieldy at first, but once you get into a rhythm, it can really glide over a lake or pond. I use a cheap 10 pound weight with a rope tied to the back to use as an anchor to keep from drifting while fishing/reading/enjoying nature. Using the included manual pump, this boat is up and running and on the water within 15 minutes of leaving the trunk of my car. Almost the same amount of time it takes my friends to unstrap their canoe and get everything unloaded and launched. It's NOT made for 2 adults on any extended trip. I'm 6 ft, and with a backpack and small cooler at my feet, feel fairly cramped at times. I often just rest my legs over the sides as I cast my line. Been tempted to buy the transom mount and a cheapo, used trolling motor on Craigslist, but not sure how I'd fit once the battery was dropped into the boat. A motor sounds great, but the added bulk of the battery would likely mean I'd have to kneel in the boat. Part of the fun of this little floater is lounging, so I'd just recommend using it without a motor for lazy, lounging, solo trips on a lake or pond. Overall, it's a ridiculously cheap, solid, and fun little boat for one person to use for freshwater fishing and boating. For the price and convenience, it's honestly one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I spent 5 hours on it today and looking forward to taking it out again tomorrow - it's an addictive little boat.

After pricing out canoes and kayaks for our upcoming camping trip, my wife and I (or, rather, I--and my wife after much persuasion) decided to test out an inflatable. The portability--and for me, the price--seemed very appealing. Be careful, my fellow shoppers, when you read the reviews to be sure you are looking at the correct boat. Even if you click on "Seahawk 2," you still see the reviews for the model 3 and 4. I missed this detail when persuading my Mrs. to give this thing a test...much to both of our amusement lol I knew we had a problem when we laid it out on the dock. I'm 6', and my wife is 5' 2", and I knew there is no way we would both fit on that thing. To be fair, we could fit...but we would have to each sit in the bow and the stern and pray a giant wave doesn't come crashing towards us. Nevertheless, I decided to take it for a quick spin by myself around the dock while my erstwhile wife anxiously stood by. That's when the wind factor kicked in. Between the flimsy oars and a stiff breeze, I nearly thought I would be whisked away into the deep blue to meet the same fate as the SS Minnow. Old cover pictures of Robinson Crusoe flashed through my mind. I began imagining how I would hail down the few fishermen who thankfully were out there on the lake, somewhere. Never in my life had I been more thankful to be wearing a life jacket. Thankfully, I avoided the three-hour tour and only had a three-minute tour. I paddled it back to the boat launch, deflated it and dried it on the dock, repackaged it and sent it back to Amazon. I gained my life; my wife gained a reminder she can use for the rest of our marriage for every time I'm trying to be cheap (which, to be fair, is often). At the end of the day, it just didn't feel sturdy enough for me, especially the keel. I may not have inflated it enough. I had an electric handheld air pump, and I put a lot of air into that thing. The wind is a factor in any vessel, and perhaps with higher quality oars one could manage it better. At the end of the day, I felt as though I was in an over-sized and extra-tough pool inflatable. If you decide to purchase one, I hope your experience goes better than mine!

I love this little boat. I use it on the lake for fishing and it has been awesome, its lets me fish in spots the i normally couldnt from the shore. the oars seem flimsy but i have had no problem with them, i even use them to push me off/on shore. i have had this boat for about 4-5 months and used it probably around 20 times. i recently got a small hole and i mean tiny(more like a tear, probably from a fishing hook) in the side. the boat comes with a patch kit but i just put a small piece of duct tape over it and it still worked like a charm. I have had two adults in this boat multiple times, with two people it is a little cramped but is still usuable for fishing(with two people its best to sit sideways with you feet/legs hanging off the side), for one person its a great size and i can basically lay back and fish. (do not forget to have PFD's for each person in the boat even if your in 3 ft of water or you will get a $130 ticket from the game warden like i did! >.<) Like it says it will still float with just the inner chamber inflated, just makes it alot harder to get around (they day i found out there was a hole). The only negative about this boat its pumping it up, its takes about 7-10 mins, it says to never use an electic air pump (even amazon tries to sell you one?).deflation its very easy although the floor chamber takes a bit of effort to deflated cause you must pinch the hole to let air out. for the money this boat has made my fishing so much more fun!! o and if you use it like i do, dont forget you'll need to buy a little anchor, i use an 8 lb mushroom anchor with just some regluar string to conserve space, i dont know what kind of string it is but it looks likes a big roll of shoe string, it was on the same aisle with the anchors at academy.

Good

Bem resistente

Fungerar fiskespö hallarna är lite opålitliga men har fiska från den och funkar bra

Efendim epey araştırdıktan sonra satın aldım. Malzeme kalitesi gayet iyi, durgun sular ve rüzgarın 10km’den az olduğu dönemlerde denizde kullanıma uygun. Küreklerle yön vermek ve ilerlemek biraz yetenek istiyor. Bot çapası veya 5kg su şişesine kum doldurarak çapa niyetine kullanmanız gerekiyor yoksa akıntıya kapılabilirsiniz. Güvenliğe dikkat ettiğiniz sürece oldukça zevk alcağınızı garanti ediyorum. Saygılar.

Great product. Quality and safety, because it has 3 seperate air chamber for safety. Just one of this Boost our 8 people outing experience. We enjoyed by boating in lake. I'm saying by buy this product
