This is a great boat for two adults who are using it for fun only and are willing to get wet. It is not very stable, and I don't see how you could get three people in it. I wasn't able to sit on the edge without water coming in. That means, I had to sit on the floor of the boat and row from that position, which isn't very comfortable. My wife was on the flow in the front section. So, if you just want to float on a lake, fine, but don't plan on rowing any significant distance in this thing.

The product itself is not bad. For the price it is a nice little boat to take on a calm lake. But I am assuming the people that work at Coleman must be very little people. I am an average size male and I fit comfortably in this boat, 3 people..... never. It would sink. Or atleast take on a lot of water.

I realize it is an inflatable but I hoped it would be a little more stable. It is very hard to get into without getting wet. If you are in swimming attire and don't mind getting wet, I suppose it is not a problem. There is no way this boat could hold three people with even a modicum of comfort. Think of the boat as a giant inner tube and use it accordingly.

The bar across the middle of the boat is a funky design that does not really make sense. Also, like someone else said, fitting three people on this thing is just asking for a disaster. 2 is the max capacity, without question. It was working just fine for me until one day I realized my bottom was getting more and more wet with each outting. Then I realized this thing had been leaking. If you go out once every bluemoon just to cruise on a calm lake, go for it. Otherwise, I don't recommend it for any moderate or regular type use. Light duty, but you pay for what you get.

We've had this boat for three summers now and use it an average of three times a year. The first two summers we had a leak or two that were easily patched and it was as good as new. This last summer however, the boat was completely useless. On three separate occasions we took it out for a day on the lake only to find a new hole ruining our fun. The holes develop along the seams over time.

Ok, first do not buy this product for rafting it is more to have fun in nbathing suits in a lake area or something. It is very confortabme and very reliable. I would advice this purchase to anybodylooking for a little boat for fun. Two adults and a kid max.

My husband and I took this boat out in some calm waters and were fine. We also took it out in the Gulf by some real boats and got pushed around quite a bit. It's small, I don't think three people could possibly fit unless one is a small child. It's good to take in calm water where motor boats aren't going to be. For the price it's a good buy, hasn't gotten any holes and we've sat it down in some shelly sand and on concrete.

it looks good. inflate easy and alot of people made fun of us riding in this little boat. but was a fun experience overall

I purchased these as site decor for a water based VBS. The men in the church were impressed with these boats. They liked the quality and the price.
