SOLSTICE Inflatable Boat for Lakes, Rivers & Beaches – Heavy-Duty Raft with Swivel Oar Locks, Rod Holders & Inflatable Seats – Voyager, Fishing, 6-Person, Brown, 11'

I gave it a four because the seats that came in it was stupid they're not attached once water gets in the boat even a little bit the seats start to float other than that it was pretty good easy to use

The box claims that the vinyl is “heavy duty”. No specification is given. The vinyl feels heavier than my last vinyl boat which lasted only two summers. Overall, this boat has a nice sturdy feel to it.The shipping weight was 13 pounds, so it seems that the posted weight of the boat (12.8 pounds) is accurate. The boat is 88x44 inches. The seating area is 54x19. The maximum person weight is 495 LBS. Overall weight maximum is 600 LBS. There is a grab line and a handle in front for launching the boat. There are two rotating oar locks. There is an inflatable pillow to sit on.The package does not include oars or an air pump. There are four air valves, in three different styles. You will need two different nozzles on your air pump. I wish the instructions gave some guidance on this, but they don’t. All four valves are one-way.The instructions say to deflate the boat by opening the valves but they do not say how. Three of the valves were easy, but the #1 valve was tricky. I guess you have to disconnect the longest pump nozzle from the pump and leave the nozzle inserted into the valve, to hold the one-way flap open while you push the air out. I wish the instructions covered this.I haven’t taken the boat out on the water yet. I am giving the boat five stars due to the low price. I have already seen enough to know that I got a good sturdy boat for the amount of money.

I ordered the largest one for 6 people and while it is a decent size I wouldn’t put more than 3 adults or 2 and a couple of very small kids. When I ordered it, it was supposed to have oars and now it says they are separate. The color of the boat is not the tan and red that was pictured, it showed up at the ugly white pink and green one. And finally, we got it to use in a reservoir and I did’t have time to test it before leaving and when we blew it up, it would not stay inflated. The outer ring kept deflating so we never got to use it.

This raft is good quality. Held 2 large adults semi comfortably with room for a small bag or cooler. Definitely can’t hold 4 unless they are quite small-maybe elementary child size. Went Down the Delaware River and had no issues. I would recommend using an electric compressor to inflate. You will be there for hours trying to be to use the foot pump that came with it.

Neglected for 10 Alaska winters, stored outside, brought back to life this year with one patch and a motor mount, and a good cleaning up. I built a wood floor covered in carpet for it and added a motor mount, electric motor and battery, and it makes for a decent fishing platform. A little small for 2 adults and a child but it works. A robust little boat!

boat is quite large and fits about 4 full sized adults. pretty good for the price compared to other boats.

I had to keep inflating boat, at least 3 times a day. It was very minimal air it required, only it was a hassle

very good quality boat, i also have the 4 person boat, but i wouldn't take anyone else in either, really just big enough for me. used both about 5 times, not sure how the swiveling oarlocks will hold up, hoping to get 20 or 30 hours solid rowing out of each over time. nice colour scheme and good quality vinyl. bought a spare of this one and will probably replace the bigger one eventually if these two hold up to use.
