IntexSeahawk Inflatable Boat Series: Includes Deluxe Aluminum Oars and High-Output Pump – SuperStrong PVC – Fishing Rod Holders – Heavy Duty Grab Handles – Gear Pouch

I recently acquired the INTEX 68347EP Seahawk 2 Inflatable Boat Set, and it has truly exceeded my expectations for an inflatable watercraft. This boat set is a fantastic companion for any water adventure, offering both durability and functionality. The Seahawk 2 is crafted with high-quality materials that ensure resilience against the elements, giving me confidence in its longevity and performance on the water.The inclusion of deluxe 48-inch aluminum oars is a game-changer. These oars are not only lightweight but also sturdy, providing excellent control and maneuverability. The ease of inflation and deflation makes this boat incredibly convenient to use, allowing for quick setup and hassle-free storage. Whether I'm enjoying a tranquil day on the lake or exploring gentle rivers, the INTEX Seahawk 2 delivers a smooth and enjoyable boating experience. If you're in search of an inflatable boat set that combines affordability, durability, and fun, the Seahawk 2 is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it for water enthusiasts of all levels!

After doing a little research, the Intex Seahawk boat series seemed the best buy overall. Everything included in the box gets you on the water in about 15-20 minutes. The hand-pump is A VALUABLE MUST-HAVE! It inflates the three Seahawk chambers quickly and efficiently and you WILL want to keep it on the boat with you. The oars are pretty strong with good grips on them. The boat itself is a dream. My friend and I are both 6 feet tall and together with our gear, lunch, and tackle box, the Seahawk comfortably carried us (about 600 lbs altogether) and stayed inflated on the swamp for about two hours. Deflation is easy, too. The Seahawk folds nicely and fits in the back of a car or in a trunk. We've taken it out about three times now and each time has been better than the last, each with varying weight (but never nearing 810lbs like the Seahawk max capacity suggests). It's a very comfortable ride, too: we glided over the swamp like nothing, and even when the underside of the Seahawk hit reeds, branches, or logs just under the surface of the water, the strong PVC held up and moved us forward without any snagging. (Always check your boat before and after you take it out on the water, especially the seams and bottom. This thing holds up!)My only wish is that Intex would include a second 10 CM measuring "tape" in the repair/gear bag. The 10 CM measuring "tape" is a flimsy piece of plastic that allows you to properly measure two of the three chambers in the Seahawk to make sure that they aren't overinflated (which makes you more prone to punctures and leaks!). The piece of plastic is just that...a little strip that you have to keep in the gear bag, lest it be lost forever. Overall, I think the Seahawk is a great purchase and that Intex has a great product here for anyone who loves the outdoors and the water but doesn't have a lot of money or experience. Will be buying a smaller boat (probably the Challenger series) for single-person use! Thanks, Intex!

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.
