Summary: Buyer beware
Comment: The product is as advertised and the materials are good and the seperate battery-operated pump works good. The size is awkward for those over 5 feet tall. It "slips" sideways a lot and is very difficult to steer. Those who like kayaks and canoes should not expect this to be the same. It gets you to where you're going and it packs in an area that easily fits in an empty trunk. The ride is frustrating so we've only used it twice in about 3 years. It's a nice and durable toy, probably great for kids who haven't been in a kayak. Certainly easier to transport than a canoe.

Summary: Fledge
Comment: It is tough to get me to spend a dollar, after much researching I finally brought the Coleman two person Canoe/Kayak. It met my needs perfectly. I live in Southwest Florida and we have some rough habitates. My first concern is that since I am female and Kayak alone I need to feel secure. I like being on top of the water, but not in it. On the madien voyage not once did I feel insecure about the boat. I am 170 pounds and it seemed to support me just fine. I sat in the front seat. Of course I was concerned about navigation and on the back bays I had no trouble. I personally would not take it in a chop or too stronge of a current, but that's me. I may get braver as I learn more. For my purpose of bird watching and exercise it was great! It was extremly comfortable. I could take a nap in it, again if dared. The only reason I came in from the water was after two hours I was exhausted. Great exercise and so fun.
Inflation: Orginally, I brought the Coleman re-chargable pump. It never worked from the get go. I returned it and brought a $10. Northwest Territoy Dule Action Hand Pump. It worked GREAT. In less than five minutes the canoe was inflated and I did not feel I used any exersion. It was easy.
The boat does not come with a rope so remember to bring your own line. Other than that and it is inflatable so fishing hooks and cigarettes could cause a mishap.
I love my new little canoe. I named it Fledge.

Summary: JUNK
Comment: After many happy years with a Sevylor Classic I needed a new inflatable kayak and got the Coleman; bad mistake. It felt flimsy and didn't handle well at all. Just avoiding subsurface rocks on a slow moving creek was an exercise in frustration and I'm darn glad I didn't try the class 2 rapids I used to enjoy in the Sevylor. Can't straighten my legs out with that attached front seat in the way either so I was uncomfortable as well. One miserable twelve mile trip and I haven't touched it since.

Summary: A lot of fun with small expense!
Comment: Living in the Puget Sound begs for time spent on the water. However, being a frugal sort of family, we're not likely to ever purchase a "real boat". We found a good price on these fun little items and have been enjoying the water all summer. How do they size up... they float well (grin), they paddle OK, the blow up quickly with a hand pump, they pack nicely in our car (two of them) and they store nicely on a shelf in the garage. That is just what we were looking for. We take our two girls with us when we go and the eldest (seven now) can paddle the kayak by herself (with one of us in the boat of course)if we let her. You won't find this to be a replacement for a real kayak, don't even think that way or you'll be dissatisfied. But think of this as an economical way to get more time on the water and you'll be thrilled! OH... and prepare to get a little wet, there's no drain and you're sitting in the BOTTOM of it. Does restrict it to the warmer days. AND, the clips to store the paddles aren't very helpful and get in the way while you paddle. Design issue, you know.
