400 Seahawk Inflatable Boat

Fun for a day in the sun
My wife and I were looking on Amazon.com to purchase a raft for a good price. We were looking for something we could take could take out on our local river. We bought the New 2009 Seahawk 4 Boat Set, along with the Coleman High Performance Rechargable pump. We received it on Friday and plugged the pump in overnight. We took the raft out Saturday morning. With the Coleman pump we had the raft inflated in no time at all. We headed out on the river at 9 in the morning. My wife and I took turns rowing the raft, it was great fun and exercise also. Thought after 8 hours on the river, we've decided to shop on Amazon again to look for a trolling motor for the raft. Rowing it was fun, but after 8 hours on the river we were tired and sore. We purchased the raft so that we could take it out on the river and do some fishing. Our first time out we didn't do too much fishing, took the time to learn how to row and control the raft.

Terrible experience
I have bought many items from Amazon in the past. But this item was sold via CMS world services. I will never buy any item via them again.

The boat had a leak at the bottom upon when I got it. Now they want me to ship the entire items bck to them in the original package in original condition(which is impossible to put it back once you open it) at your OWN COST. I have already paid $40 to ship it when I got it.

When I send the emails to warrenty services, they are not even replying proptly.

Anyone out there want to do the same and take the risk?

See the responce from Amazon when I reported based on their A-Z gurantee:

Inflatable Boat
The Boat is in good looking once it is inflated. The three air chambers are well designed. However, the bottom chamber valve safety is questionable. Two pillows use the same valve as the bottom chamber of the boat. One of the pillows is already leaking air overtime. Therefore, I do not feel comfortable with the valve on the bottom chamber. The oars are light and rigid with a good look. The motor mount tabs are nice and rigid. I put a trolling motor on the boat and ran several hours, It cruised the entire lake nice and smoothly. The boat is nice in a peaceful lake canoeing but not recommended in a high tide river, for the boat may be bent by the hit of tide. Although the manufacturer says that the boat is safe, I still take the precaution because it's your life. I would talk to the manufacturer regarding the valve safety on the bottom chamber and pillows.
