Default Intex Seahawk 4 review

Hey guys,
Looking to purchase this inflatable, can we use it at pigeon drop off or sylvan?

Could you use it for those short distant casual fishing days on fair weather days? Absolutely you could.

I think, however, over the long run a thicker/sturdier inflatable (with a drop in floor and solid transom will make more sense over the years. I'd say keep your eye on some used quality boats that are bit more along those lines and you will be happier in the long run.

I recently saw a Zodiac (10ft) on sale, used, but looked to be pretty decent for $500 .... wood floor, wood transom and wood slat seats - which stiffens up the boat and makes it capable of use with a small gas outboard.

I had one for use in some small trout ponds...found it prone to getting holes. I had it outfitted with an electric trolling motor and had to also have a 12v inflator to keep it afloat....lol. I would listen to above post and hold off for a sturdier boat.
