So lets start off by saying why i got this. i go spearfishing nd ive made a little raft for my spearguns and fish. however i thought what if i come across something that i need to get out the water. or im just too tired to swim back to shore. so i would attach the raft to this  boat... now this thing is pretty big... im a 225lbs guy thats 5'10... this worked beautfully... and the paddles that come with it are good too. needless to say this thing is strong and work!
