4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for the price, December 9, 2007
I have sort of a love/hate relationship with the boat. It works as advertised and I still believe it is the best boat for the money. One side of my pontoon leaked the first time I used it. Patched it as best I could but I think it is on a seam. Having the duel air chambers is super. Even if one chamber leaks, you can stay afloat and can add air to fill the other chamber. This can save your trip. The oars are excellent. I use a small trolling motor, but it is difficult to use placed behind you. Your head is always in the way. I will never go back to a float tube this is much better. The pontoon works better than a canoe or john boat because you can use your flippers for most of your movement. I haul this boat on the top of my car and it is easy to load and unload. While it isn't perfect, it is the best unit for the money and is super for fly fishing on small to medium sized lakes.

Very cheaply made product- poor customer service, August 6, 2009
At first I thought this boat was the best for the money, but I soon realized I fell into the trap of a cheaply constructed Chinese-made piece of crap. Let me start out by saying that I am an avid fisherman and use this boat at least once a week (maybe that's the problem). I think part of the reason as to why I am so negative about this product is because of the customer service. Twice I have contacted them for replacement parts that were still covered under warranty (one year from date of purchase), and the first time went rather smoothly, but the second- well, not so much. As mentioned, the first interaction with Classic Accessories went smooth- I obtained a RMA#, submitted the required paperwork, and photos. A few weeks later I received my replacement parts in the mail- no problem. Recently (4 months later), I had more parts fail so I contacted the customer service department and began the same process. They told me all of a sudden the parts are not in stock and that I would have to wait until a unit is returned before I could begin to see any parts. How ridiculous is that? Wasn't a problem the first time. Convenient how now that my warranty is almost up they "run out of parts".
Anyway, one of the pontoons is slowly leaking, not enough to leave me swimming, but still leaking. I use a pressure gage, much like for your tires, so I know I'm not over-inflating it. And I'm not about to begin the hassle of sending it back and waiting forever for a replacement. Welds have broken on the basket that mounts behind the seat, anchor cleats have broken, the cheap little plastic bushings that house the oar locks are ridiculous, and the oars themselves get eaten up by the oar locks- not to mention the rubber oar stops do anything but stop the oar.
Bottom line: you get what you pay for. Suck it up, spend the money, and get a well crafted, heavy (not one of those that fits in a backpack), made in USA pontoon- you'll wish you had later down the road. [...]

Durable inflatable boat, September 9, 2008
I've been dragging this thing around for at least five years. Mostly used for small inland lakes in Michigan. Nothing's broke. Seams have held up well.
