Hi ,I wonder if any body is an owner of an inflatable kayak ? I got a foldable canoe ,but it is not in the best condition any more, I don't want to pack it up as the skin gets a bit hard and it is to long to put on the car, so I am looking for an inflatable canoe. Are they any good , will a breeze blow you around, would they be good for fishing?
Cheers Hans

I have been looking at all sorts of inflatable boats, and Sevylor seem a brand to look at.They are all overpriced , but I suppose you get what you pay for.Probably going the buy a 2.3m inflatable boat as I have an eletric outboard and a spare battery. usually they weigh about 20kgs, and come with a bag. Certainly don,t take up as much room as a tinnie, but won,t be using it where crocs are about.Please post as to what you buy. Bill
Hi, i have a 2 person Sevylor canoe, they are very strong, use it for fishing or putting out yabbie nets. Handles well on my own, strong winds do blow it around a little but i think it would with any of them. It weighs about 20kg, packs into a carry bag easy to handle. you can fit electric motors to them. Or just have as a way of getting a bit of exercise like me, the dog loves it to
I used to have a kayak, but kept falling out of it, so a dinghy is a bit more stable, for me anyway. I have a 40lbs elec.outboard to move it .I am looking for a dinghy I can roll up and store in the back of my ute/ slideon.A guy was eaten by a croc up at Lakefield fishing in his kayak , last year.so I wouldn;t use it where the mobile handbags are.I have a 3,5m tinnie, but the Courier diesel doesn,t have enough power to tow the trailer with the 720kg slide on loaded.Also , the barge company want $180 to take it to the mainland.Bill
We have a two person and a one person Sevylor kayak. Both are stable regardless of weather one person on the two person boat, two people or two plus dog. Have not used for fishing, bit nervious about vagrant fish hooks, however dog claws have not left any marks. Have had them for twelve months now, they are holding up well. Best part is that they have up to 8 separate air compartments, so on the off chance that one punctures, the boatee will not sink!

We have just got home after paddling around our local lake in my inflatable kayak. Its a sevylor quickpac k1. I bought it last year at BCF for 150 dollars. I love it and could easily keep up with hub by in a solid kayak. The advantage is that it weighs a lot less than the solid kayak and folds up into its own backpack in the back of the car.
Guess whose dad age 80+ has just won an inflatable kayak that he doesn't want. And guess whose hubby just bought himself an expensive one. But guess who has it now so my grandkids can enjoy kayaking with nana. Can't complain about good luck.
, I mean she is ,or better still ,we are.
