“Firm, Well-Made -- and it can sail!”

Red Star Marine Navigator II 500 Green Inflatable Sport/Fishing Boat — 

I like this boat a lot. I use it with a SailboatsToGo sail kit to make an inflatable sailboat. It's really rigid and firm, so it feels like a hard shell (noninflatable) boat. But, it's light enough I can throw it on top of my van inflated, without help. Without packaging and accessories, it's just 40 lbs. It's really well-made and well designed. Great hull shape - a little rocker to get over the chop; inflatable "keel" (more like a spine) to give it some V shape and support the inflatable floor. It has unbreakable oarlocks, drain plug, oar holders, grab line -- nice! I really like the pump and pressure guage. You can pump it up through the pressure guage, so you're getting a constant read out of the pressure as it increases. It's maybe $100 more than the comparable-sized Intex Mariner, but you'll get some of that back in lower shipping cost because it's lighter. And I think it's better made. I prefer the Navigator's inflatable floor to the Mariner's solid floor, for comfort and portability.
