There are times when a person wants to go boating, and they want to have a fun experience, and that means they are going to need some sort of boat. The best thing that you can do is purchase a good inflatable raft. Sea Eagle make some great inflatable rafts which can be used for many different applications. Some of these are fly fishing, rafting, floating off into oblivion, or whatever it is that you happen to want. These rafts usually hold three people, and they are extremely durable. There are several different types of inflatable rafts from Sea Eagle, and below we have listed a few of them for you to read about.

The first boat we are going to look at is one known as the Sea Eagle 6 or SE6. This boat can take up to 650 lbs, and will hold up to two people with light gear. It can use a small motor and only weights a whopping twenty five pounds, making it perfect for camping trips.

Then theres the Sea Eagle 8. This boat is extremely popular, though it should not be confused with the r(8). This boat is made for a single person and can be used for either fishing, boating, or random floating if you just want to get away for a while. After all, what better place to get away than the middle of a lake where there is no cell phone reception?

The Sea Eagle (r)8 basic start up package consists of AB253 oars, Sea Eagle (r) raft, SED rowing seat,foot pump, FHS fisherman high seat, repair kit, and the instructions. The raft itself has a 2-compartment floor that is inflatable, the main chamber then the safety chamber over that. This boat inflatable is equipped with four molded oarlocks, a carry handle on the bow, and the all around grab line. It has the capacity to hold three adults or about 950 pounds. When it is deflated it measures 24x21x8. This inflatable raft is able to handle a 3 hp gas engine, when inflated the exterior size measures 9'7" x 4'8" while the interior measures 6'2"x 2'4".The tube measures 15" in diameter and weighs 32 pounds (hull alone) or 60 pounds with the floorboards and the motor mount.

Next of course there is the Sea Eagle 9 raft. It is like the r(8) in that it is everyone's favorite for river floating or even fly fishing, but it is very different in that it's rated for Class III whitewater rafting. The biggest difference between this boat and other boats of it's type is that it is capable of holding up to 1200 lbs. This means that it can carry up to five adults, which is a considerable improvement over many other inflatable rafts. The boat itself is composed of Polykrylar, and the time to pump is 10 to 15 minutes with a manual pump This boat can also be equipped with a motor of up to four horsepower.

There are number of different accessories that you can purchase for this raft which include a sun canopy, windshield, floor boards, and a number of other things. What is added on is entirely up to you.

The next on the list of Sea Eagles boat inflatables is the "Sea Eagle(r) 14-ft Sailcat Deluxe inflatable raft package." This package features a Sailcat boat, oars, a nylon storage bag, two cushions, a carry bag, instructions, repair kit,3 aluminum cross benches and of course the sail rig. The sail rig contains the aluminum mast, the mast step, tiller/rudder system and lateen rig. What is also unique about this 4 person set up is that the frame folds. The deflated dimensions of this boat inflatable are 60" x 14" x 12", the inflated measurements are 9'6" x 4', and the exterior size is 14' x 5'. The sail area covers 45 sg ftQ4-ft, the tube diameter is 16", weighs 97 pounds and is rated for winds 0-25 mph.
