Inflatable Kayaks
Any thoughts on these? Thinking about a two man version. We could occasionally use some sort of boat but don't want to haul a full size one around. Nothing too energetic paddling around lakes and such...

We have 2 of them, one 2 man sea eagle and one single Intek. As others stated they are good for what they are. Decent quality and pretty tough material. If you aren't a serious Kayaker and just want to get out on the water, they are fine. The obvious advantage to inflatable kayaks and Rv'ing is storing and transporting them. You have to be pretty creative to bring your standard stiff kayak in an RV. Inflatables are more stable than a rigid kayak so getting in and out of them is easier. They don't track as well but it's not horrible. I plan on picking up a propeller drill attachment. It's cheating but hey, I am no Olympic Kayaker.
Got a battery run propeller on my Coleman/Sevylor two-man inflatable kayak and people will kid me as "cheater."
It's convenient as @way2roll described.
Downside, it's sensitive to high winds and bad luck if it's head or side-wind to where you are going.
And most convenient when I bought a foldable big tired wagon to haul it, the paddles and the battery. I have to buy stadium seat for it too and the seat won't hold up unless you want to lie down flat.:B
