Long Lasting and Practical
I owned one of these 20 years ago, bought it used, and used it for another 10 years as a yacht tender for my sail boat. After going back to a smaller sail boat, I wished that I hadn't sold it. Bought this one to replace it, and I'am impressed with the improved quality of this new model. This boat looks identical to the original one I owned, except it seems a little larger. This boat is unsinkable, very light, very stable, and tows very well as a yacht tender. After a rain you can tip the boat on it's side to empty the water out. This boat comes with a nice set of oars, which are better than what I expected. It will easily carry two adults, rows well also. About the downside I know of is that doesn't have very comfortable seating, compared to a larger dinghy.
Suits my needs perfectly.....sturdy but lightweight
very much a small rowboat that fits an active lifestyle storage and transportation requirements. solid in the water, but it does get blown easily by the wind. My only criticism is the plastic oarlocks. you will have to get some self locking washers at Home Depot to keep them attached, and I wonder just how long plastic oarlocks will last. I hope they are a standard size for replacement with metal locks. Appreciate how easy it is to add an electric motor in the rear.
