Single mom, 2 kids and a dog... Jun 26, 2008 By Rev.Kirkby "Rev. Kirkby"
I've had both the 9'2" and the 12' Fish Hunter. Got the first one the year my husband passed away as a way of distracting us. It came as a package with battery, oars and electric troller.

My boys were 15 and 9, and we had a miniature shepherd and that boat took us through probably 2 dozen impromptu lake trips the first year. Packed up the boys, (light)fishing gear, a couple of backpacks and a stuff-sack of food, 'strapped' the tent onto one side and laid the sleeping bags in the bottom (on top of a good tent liner)for 'paws' protection, loaded up the dog and took off (we have even towed a smaller 2-man Sevylor hauling a cooler, camp stove, water and extra 'dry-bags' of food, but had to use the oars rather than the troller).

As far as inflating it, 15 minutes the first time, cos I was clueless! Second time, maybe 8 minutes using a rechargeable; 5 minutes with a.c. pump...so what I did a lot of times was inflate it with the electric one, tie it to the roof of my car and take the d.c. one in case of emergency...which I never had. Deflation takes a bit longer but only cos you really should "squeeze" the air out.

We were comfortable enough in that 9' boat, even with all the gear and the dog. But I was 5'2" @ 121 lbs., son #1 was 5'8" @ 181, son #2 was 4'11" @ 140 and the dog was about 60 lbs and stood 2' tall and about 2.5' nose to rump. Although you might have fit 4 adults, I think it would've been a bit cramped and a little less stable (not that you'd dump over as long as everybody stayed sat), cos let's face it, it sits on top of the water with no ballast and no keel.

It's a toughie though! Even though there were dead trees in the water of one of the lakes (learned about them the hard way!), we managed to get to "our" island and back without a hitch. I was worried there was unseen damage, but when we got home I blew it up tight and checked...nothing.

I did sustain a cat claw puncture when my dog chased a cat that was in it about to use it as a litter box, but the included kit worked fine. A friend suggested investing in a roll of boat repair tape for inflateables, that will stick even when you make the repair under water. I had occasion to use it when I purchased the 12' and the repair patch is still in place, June 2008!

Incidentally, I purchased the 9' back in 1999. I bought the 12' in 2002. My son inherited the 9'...it will soon be one of his emergency dingies on his "real" boat. The 12' is still going strong...except my younger son wants it.

So I guess I'll be gettin' another 12' for my old, OLD age!

Honestly? I'd rather have a Sevylor Fish Hunter than a standard type of a boat. I don't like storing things outside or in the shed except for mowers and garden tools (crawly critters and spiders, you know), so I dry it before I deflate it, roll it up (usually with a couple beach towels) and stick it in the back corner of my closet in a storage sack I made from an old tarp.

Nice boat for 2 or 3 people. Aug 17, 2007 By Misha's Review
Very nice boat. I love it. I took it out on 2 different lakes and had a great time. It has 5 different chambers which make the boat very stable and safe. The boat is smaller than you might think after reading the description. I only used it with 2 people on board with planty of space left. You'll be able to fit another person in, but 4 people might be a problem. The actual description on the box says that it's a 4-people boat according to the US standards. I think it's 6-person capacity according to Chinese regs. It doesn't come with a motor mount, but you can use certain electic motors without a mount (Sevylor Electric Trolling Motor). I also bught "Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump" for $20 at Target which was enough to quickly inflate the boat and my air bed, add some extra air during my 4 day vocation on a lake and to deflate both the boat and the air bed. You'll also need a pair (or 2 pairs if you want) of oars. I bought Aluminum Oars, 59". Also, keep in mind that the weight of the boat is over 40lb. Overall, it's a very nice boat for 2 people and a child.

PS Someone wrote a review that it takes 20 minutes to inflate this boat. I can assure you there is no way it would take that long. I used a rechargable pump and the inflation process was very easy and fast. I don't know what the other person was using to inflate that it took him 20 minutes. Maybe a hand pump.

perfect little fishing boat May 21, 2007 By R. Layton
I got this a couple of weaks ago and I've already abused the poor thing. Let me tell you this is a tough little boat. Very strong material. Great for fishing, we've already taken this on many lakes.

Great boat for solo fishing! Aug 29, 2008 By K. Vecchio
If you want to make this little raft into a comfortable solo fishing machine then you might want to do what I did:

First: buy the raft(duh!) By the way, shipping is free and extremely fast, and the price is much better at Amazon than buying locally at Dick's ect.

Second: get the Sevylor MM3 motor mount.

Third: get a trolling motor. I recommend a Minnkota Endura 30. It lasts a long time, has a 2 year warranty, will run all day on a good battery, and moves this little raft through the water with great ease and faster than a row boat with the same motor.

Fourth: get a deep cycle battery. I recommend a big Everstart from Wal-Mart. They're inexpensive and work great for a long time.

Fifth: Grab a heavy duty lead cord and splice about 5 feet of it onto the end of your trolling motor cord. Now splice the ends that you cut off of the trolling motor to the other end of the cord. This gives you a longer cord on your trolling motor which allows you to put your battery in the front of the raft, which counter-balances the raft nicely when you're in it. This also gets the battery out of your sitting area, which is equally important in this small craft.

Sixth: Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to fit on the floor of the raft. You'll have to cut short angles on the back and longer angles on the front to fit the oval-ish shape of the floor. Then just give the edges a quick hand sand to remove any splinters and then cover the edges with duct tape to prevent friction against the inside of the raft. Then you'll have a more sturdy floor that will allow you to stand up and fish. It also makes the battery sit better and you too. It really makes everything better because nothing will be protruding downward into the water, thereby putting much less stretch and strain on the bottom of the raft and also reducing all drag from the inside oval of the raft. This allows you to cruise much faster.

That's it! Good Fishing!

Great Boat, But... Oct 01, 2007 By Aron Beasinger
We bought this boat to use for lake fishing. In terms of its design and features, everything was great. It had all we wanted at a great price. The only thing I didn't love about this boat was its size. It says its supposed to fit several people, but I didn't find that to be true. My wife and I are short people, but even with just the two of us, we were cramped. When you consider the gear you need to bring for a day of fishing on the lake, there wasn't enough room left for us to comfortably stretch out our legs. Go ahead and get a Sevylor boat, just get the 12' version instead of the 9' version. One more thing. I'd recommend buying a couple of flotation seat cushions to add to the included inflatable seats, otherwise, you'll be sitting very low.
