We have a Sevylor "Tahiti" inflatable kayak. It is junk. Too hard to
paddle compared to any rigid boat. Worthless.

That would be my impression. The original poster should try paddling a
normal plastic rigid version vs a blow-up in a variety of conditions.
I doubt he'd buy the blow-up.

I have both an ABS canoe and an inflatable. The ABS is a much better
paddler but difficult to store in a locker. The inflatable is hardly
worthless but the price the ask for them reflects the relative value.
ABS - $1500
PVC - $150

We've had one of them for a decade and it's been perfect for getting out
to a mooring and other close work. It's a PITA with only one set of
paddles for exploring the anchorage very far, but I'd call it worthy of
its purpose. If I got a second set of paddles for the Admiral, I expect
we'd have a far larger range.
