Unknownwaters Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 im about to go off to college in acouple of months and was thinking of getting a small inflatable raft to fish from. It cant take up too much space cuz ill be in the freshmen dorms. i wouldnt mind a small trolling motor too but can do without. I want to keep it as affordable as possible. Im kinda new to inflateable boats so i wondering what advice i could get. Quote
Branuss04 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 What about a float tube??? They are small and can easily fit inside a dorm room. Obvioulsy you won't have a trolling motor, but they are cheap and take up little room. Just throwing that out there. Good luck in school!! Quote
broncoboxer Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Google Sea Eagle. They make some great inflatables. I use the Sea Eagle 9 motor mount boat. It folds up pretty well, but is probably still a little big for a dorm room. You may want to check out one of the smaller motor mount boats. Be sure to buy a 12 volt Coleman air pump! Quote
unhbass37 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I have this one and love it. It has a wood floor so you can stand up. If your on a tight budget just use the oars instead. PM me if you have any more questions about it. http://www.amazon.com/2009-Intex-Mariner-Boat-Person/dp/B000NNO294/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1250517866&sr=8-17 Quote

M-Gunner Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Have you checked out the folding boats(Porta Boat). I have an 8ft Porta Boat and it's great. It folds up to 4 inches thick, 24 inches wide and 8ft long. Quote

M-Gunner Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 A new one has a nice price tag. They come in 8ft - 14ft. I got my off of Craigslist for $200.00. They are worth the money. Very sturdy and well made. You can hit rocks and won't rip a hole or dent it. Only takes 4 bolts to put it together. I put a 5HP Briggs on my. I take it everywhere, camping, hunting and fishing.

Sounds cool. I went to the website, looking for prices, and they wanted me to fill out a page of information before I could get a look at how much they cost. That's usually a red flag. Quote

I believe they are priced around 1200.00 and higher. Quote
