Inflatable boats

I am looking to buy inflatable boat (not kayak), so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions based on their own experience?
Thanks upfront.

I've got a Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker STS10 and love it! 2-Person craft with a wood floor that lets you stand up to fish. Very stable. Have a a Minn Kota 45lb thrust 36 inch shaft trolling motor on it which is plenty of power to last all day fishing and moving often.

I love mine. Takes a bit to get it set up the way you want it.
There is not much room so where you put items is very important .
But you can get into some nice areas. I was able to get into one area this past holiday that was only maybe 1.5 deep but once past that area it got back to 5 feet in a cove caught a nice LM in there .
They work great in calm water was in some wind this past weekend as well that was 15-20 and it struggled on the open water .
very stable but the 30 trolling motor needed to be at max to make head way .
They state 30 max but if I where to do it over I would go 40 or 50 .
Mine in calm water with stock prop will move me 3.2 mph on the gps so your not going any where very fast ha ha
Plenty of them for sale on market place or CL for 1/3 retail

Check out Sea Eagle 285.
they discontinued it . ( sea eagle 285 )
I would have rather had it to be honest . but could not find any one that had one to sell . I paid 100 bucks for mine off market place. The kid went to college and they wanted to get rid of it came with trolling motor as well .
I thought it would be killer but never saw one used either they push the fold cat but I think they are no good with out a real floor .
aquas makes a boat as well but its super heavy and a bunch of parts to put together

Where are you? I may be looking to sell my Sea Eagle 285. Only been used twice. I love it, but I’ve moved to a huge lake - with alligators. Getting a bass boat.
