These inflatables are about the same price as a used traditional canoe but having the highback seats intrigues me abit, also the kids can monkey around on it while swimming etc.. They look like the should get around a lake just fine for some exploring and fishing, and they will also take a small electric in case I get too lazy to paddle. Just wondering if anyone had been out in one, always better to ask than to buy and get the "OMGWTFDIDUBUYTHATFOR??"
