5.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly what I wanted!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: RST Marine Navigator II 500 Heavy Duty Inflatable Recreation Boat (Sports)
This raft is exactly what I wanted. I bought it for rafting down the Truckee River in Reno and Lake Tahoe. It is tough and durable and no problems over the rocks and rapids. I plan on taking it further up the river next spring (should be a tougher ride).
I have had as many as 4 adults and 2 small children on a 3 hour trip down the Truckee (that's as full as it gets).

Makes a nice sailing dinghy,
This review is from: RST Marine Navigator II 500 Heavy Duty Inflatable Recreation Boat (Sports)
[...] This boat is nice and rigid, with a good streamlined hull shape for low drag, and both these qualities are important for sailing. It comes with a good pump and pressure guage, which really helps for proper inflation. It's designed for higher pressure than most mass-market inflatable boats. All around, it seems really well designed and well made. The closest comparable products on the market are the Intex Mariner (same size, but much heavier due to solid floor) and the Intex Seahawk II (smaller and a little lighter). Both of these also sail well and cost less. But this is better made and has the space of the Mariner without being very much heavier than the Seahawk II. All in all, it's a very welcome addition to the marketplace.

SUPER TOUGH RAFT - w/ minor complaints,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: RST Marine Navigator II 500 Heavy Duty Inflatable Recreation Boat (Sports)
THE GOOD:
The raft itself is amazing. Construction is uber good. valves on sides don't let any air slip and are super easy to use, you can even stand up in the raft on the water. Oar locks are solid, engine mounts are solid, oar holders are solid, fishing pole holders are solid; everything is welded on well. THE BAD: Included accessories are crap. The pump and attachments are reasonable. Seat cushions are also reasonable although only made of 1 layer PVC - not like the rest of the boat. Oars are garbage - one has already warped (it did not get left out in sun or abused), my pressure gauge has not worked from the beginning, the bag to hold the boat and the small bag on the boat are both of poor construction and poor materials. The idea that this boat will accommodate 5 people and 880lbs is ludicrous. Amazon I noticed you already corrected the weight capacity to 830 (although it's 837 technically), but you still have this listed as capable of carrying 5 adults, the boat says 4 adults right on the PVC. 4 adults and light gear would be acceptable river rafting when at least 2 adults are sitting on the side. Fishing is another story all together. I would say 2 adults can fit comfortably with a motor on the back, cooler in the middle, and your fishing gear. THE UGLY: If you are starting from scratch and thinking about adding a trolling motor on this boat, it gets expensive fast... Boat - $400 RST made Motor Mount (which by the way is pretty good quality, although I had to seal the plastic caps at the end of the metal bars on both the motor mount and included paddles with waterproof adhesive because they kept falling out) - $60 Quality dry bag and small dry case for extra valuable stuff - $45 Trolling motor - $170 Deep Cycle Marine Battery - $100 Power Center (Circuit breaker and battery holder) - $60 Battery Charger - $50 Marine Radio (good thing to have) - $50 A good cooler (honestly can you go out on the water without cold beer?) - $50 And this is true at least in Oregon, any motorized water craft needs registered - $70 TOTAL - $1055 (your total could be more, could be less, depending on what you need - I bought some extras I didn't list) Other items you might need, PFDs, whistles, an anchor, quality replacement paddles, quality PSI gauge, I'm sure there is more I can't think of atm. THOUGHTS AFTER A SUMMER OF HEAVY USE: I have taken the raft out about 8 times now. The bottom is very durable. After a night of heavy drinking in the woods, I drug this raft over countless rocks and bush, in an effort to reach the water for a midnight float on Opal Creek. The raft came through this ordeal completely unscathed. On the other side of the coin... I also seemed to have poked a hole in the top of the floor, and also the top of one of the bladders has a pinhole leak. Also, I cannot seem to get all the air out of the floor at the moment, I think some debris may have found its way into the floor valve and is keeping air from easily escaping when the valve is opened.
