Thanks.


Well Dave, like so many things, it depends on what you are looking for
and what you are looking to pay for it.
Don't have experience with the coleman at all, owned a sea eagle
inflatable boat with motor mount at one time; served me well, until I
could afford better...

I have seen the Sea Eagle 330 looks good, but it seems to me that it
flexes quite a bit; as a matter of fact, take a look at the video they
have on line and you'll see what I mean, but it still might be a good
bet for an inexpensive Kayak to paddle around on the lake, etc.

I Currently own an Advanced Elements Inflatable AF UltraLite
Expedition Kayak a bit more expensive, but in my opinion worth it...
OK, in the opinion of others as well ;-)

BTW, was putting down the Sea Eagle 330, just suggesting you make sure
what your needs are and then purchase accordingly... for $300 bucks
and given their 30-day risk free trial I would probably give it a go!

Good luck,
Carlos



Dont buy one. I have a "Sea Eagle" and it is very difficult to paddle
because it flexes so much.
