 Small, but very sturdy August 26, 2010
Yo
This is a small boat, not for two people (unless one is a child), but other than that it's great and it's surprisingly strong and it takes beating like charm.
It's a great value!
Intex Explorer 200 boat set August 22, 2010
Magic Man
The Intex Explorer 200 is probably the best value in pool toys that I have seen. This is NOT, a rafting floatation device, it is for a pool or extremely calm shallow water use, there are only two air chambers, main and floor. It is made of a much heavier gage plastic than all of the pool toys I have seen. Dollar for Dollar, pound for pound a great value. It will take some time to inflate with the provided pump (I used a compressor)...but well worth it. I purchased it from the River Rat Store, and their pricing and service was the best. I got it much sooner than they promised, BUT I am located in their state, which I am sure helped.
 Limited potential ... August 20, 2010

This inflatable boat is a perfect toy for pools and shallow, calm lakes. It may also serve as a rescue boat for kids stranded too far out on a lake or pond.
The warnings on the boat will tell you not to use it as a flotation device, and rightly so. There are two good reasons for that.
First, the boat can slowly leak air. It won't sink with you in it, but the boat's structure is compromised with the loss of air, and this makes rowing difficult. If you're drifting away from shore and you need to row back, tough luck. You can do it, but it might take a while.
Second, it is very hard to keep the boat pointed straight. Think of it as a closed bottom inner tube. It has no rudder or stabilizing components. I can imagine the guy who rowed three miles in this thing must have come back pretty exhausted, because to row in a straight line you have to use a lot of hand strength and be willing to make quick corrections. He might have even had to blow a little extra air into the single chamber along the way to keep the structure intact. The only advantage I can think of is that it's wider than a kayak, so it's stable in boat wake.
Add this together and it's really more of a toy than a recreational boat.

Good raft for the money, it was a little small, but will easily hold a reasonable sized adult and 1 child.
The best ride at the lake!!! July 29, 2010

I bought 2 of these boats for my kids (3 and 6) to take to the lake. They were a hit!!! The pump was a little slow for impatient young ones, but other than that they were fantastic. They fit 2 people - 10 and under, or 1 adult. I know this because I spent the morning laying in one and had a great time! I loved the fact that the oars couldn't slip out and get lost. The rope at the front made it super easy to pull onto the beach, or tie to the back of the boat. One piece of advice: DON'T pull these behind a motorized boat... the eye for the rope pulled right out, leaving a huge hole, a flat boat and a completely devastated child :( I will be buying 4 or 5 more since all the kids, and adults at the lake LOVED them!!!
