5.0 out of 5 stars Great Boat - And It Can Be a Sailboat Too!, May 1, 2009

I like this boat a lot. I use it with a SailboatsToGo sail kit to make an inflatable sailboat (I'll post a picture). It's really rigid and firm, so it feels like a hard shell (noninflatable) boat. But, it's light enough I can throw it on top of my van inflated, without help. Without packaging and accessories, it's just 40 lbs. It's really well-made and well designed. Great hull shape - a little rocker to get over the chop; inflatable "keel" (more like a spine) to give it some V shape and support the inflatable floor. It has unbreakable oarlocks, drain plug, oar holders, grab line -- nice! I really like the pump and pressure guage. You can pump it up through the pressure guage, so you're getting a constant read out of the pressure as it increases. It's maybe $100 more than the comparable-sized Intex Mariner, but you'll get some of that back in lower shipping cost because it's lighter. And I think it's better made. I prefer the Navigator's inflatable floor to the Mariner's solid floor, for comfort and portability. Compared to soft boats like the Sevylor Caravelle or Super Caravelle that are more like water beds because of their squishiness, this is overwhelmingly better. Comfortable for 3 adults, possible for 4.

This boat could fit three children or two large adults. Boat is of good quality. Nice package for the money.
