I was finally able to get the boat in the water (Lake Michigan) this weekend and it is an awesome boat. The construction is top quality and I don't think another inflatable boat in this price range (which is a bargain for what you get) can match its attention to detail. Everyplace that you can think of that may cause an eventual leak on this boat has extra material added to prevent wear thru or reduce the chance of punctures and tears. The floor is solid and doesn't have that give like wood floor inflatable boats do. The boat despite its weight (it is heavy) gets on plane easily (9.9 mercury) and doesn't get squirrely in chop. I can't say enough good things about this boat. If you have any concerns about purchasing a boat online from Inmar don't worry. Their customer Service Dept. is top notch. In closing, if you are looking for an inflatable boat don't bother with the big names, their boats can't compare with what you get with Inmar.
