Portable Boats?

[alistair]

I would recommend staying away from the inflatables unless you're just looking to float and drink beer. They are fine for that, not so much at being a kayak. They handle terribly and get abused by the wind and the obvious issue of springing a leak. Save up your dough and get something portable that not a toy.
Or you could build this Bad Boy!!!! I built the shearwater sport hybrid. Cedar strip deck.
Not showing direct link for some reason it's Sectional Shearwater Sport

Prefer my Pygmy wooden kayak.

I was looking at some in the past like inflatables and what not and came across this company. Anyone every heard of them or tried them?

A friend of mine has one of those. He had it for a couple years and something was wearing out on the transom. He contacted them to buy replacement parts and they sent him new parts for free. The parts were not an upgrade, so he figured it would happen again in a few years. He just doesn't fold it anymore and built a small trailer to get it to the lake. He doesn't want any problems with it when he takes his grandsons out.
