Initial review, I am new to inflatable kayaks, but not inflatable boats. I have owned Achilles, Avon, Saturn inflatable power boats and I know what a good rugged one is built like and this Chelan 140 did not disappoint. The dropped stitched floor takes 6 lbs of air pressure and the side tubes takes 3 which when inflated makes a very solid boat, more like a conventional kayak. There is no sag anywhere to slow it down or cause it to not track well. Whereas other similar boats from other manufacturers I looked at have as little as 1lb of pressure in the floor and 2 in the sides which I don't see how that could be rigid enough.The next thing I loved was the comfort level. The inflatable seats will raise you a good 6 inches above the floor, and the back of the seat has straps that are adjustable for what I consider excellent back support. If you were to encounter rough sea conditions you can easily let the air out of the seat to get your CG lower, and pull the caps off the floor drains if needed.Stability is also excellent as I was able to take my 68 lb Aussie out on the lake for a good hour paddle this morning. This was a real test for him and the boat as he has never been able to sit still in a canoe and I was always at risk of a capsize with him along. He was completely comfortable and we never felt like we could tip over. It was a wonderful experience watching him relax and be so intently observing his surroundings, birds, fish jumping etc.Final thoughts, when combined, the higher pressures this boat has, the rugged quality that is obvious, the well engineered design withvery straight tracking, the large backpack that it fit back in easily, makes this a great choice for someone looking for such quality. This was the right choice for what I was looking for. The fact that it doesn't come with a pump and paddles may seem like a downside, but I don't believe that to be true. Paddles are a personal choice, so why would you want to accept whatever minimal choice the mfg decided to pack their kayak with? And getting the right length, and weight makes a big difference so why have to accept a paddle that you may likely never want? Same goes with the pump. Most of the kayaks that come with pumps are of questionable quality, and maybe you would rather want a certain type. 12 or 120 v electric, foot, 2 way hand pump with pressure gage, there are a lot of choices in quality of hand pumps as well. Since Aquaglide doesn't furnish their kayaks with pumps and paddles that you may well find inadequate anyway, it gives them the ability to put more quality into the kayak itself.

It came with with a hole in it. No way to return. Patch didn't work not that I should have a patch in a new boat to begin with.

The boat is exactly as advertised. It’s quick to set up, very durable, tracks straight and moves quickly through the water. Easy for a novice to maneuver and paddle. Great for storage. The bag is great but heavy when fully loaded. I recommend a cart or collapsible dolly if you have to walk more than 100ft with it. Overall we love it.

If you don't have a lot of storage space, this is an exellent option. Easy to set up, quality materials, maneuverability. I use it mostly for fishing and family trips. I own both 140 and 155, both fit easily in the trunk. 155 works better for 2 adults. I would recommend to buy electric pump with it

schnelles Boot, schnell aufzublasen, wertige US- Verarbeitung, durchdacht, bei leichter Welle kommt etwas Wasser in den Innenraum
