I live by a lake in Georgia, which is where I would be fishing. Since sometime this winter I plan to move, <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/18773/row-row-row-your-boat#310715">the lack of a long lifetime</a> is not an issue. Cost, size, and durability for this summer/fall are.<br> I need something small enough/compressible enough to throw in the trunk of my car (an older Honda Accord). So far, googling indicates my best options are Sea Eagle, Intex, or Sevylor - at least, those are the brands that are both cheap AND claim to be durable enough for fishing - I don't want a stray fishhook to ruin my day! I've also come across the idea of a kickboat, though I'd rather something easy to row (part of the reason I want to do this is the workout aspect).<br> So, any particular brand/model recommendations? Any advice on what I should be looking for in the specs (e.g. PVC vs. PU/PVC)?<br> I'd mostly be going alone, and would be willing to spend about $300 max. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.67291 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 15:23:16 -0800 boat boats fishing inflatableboats inflatables rowing solotoro
