BRIS 12ft Inflatable Boat Inflatable Raft Sport Rescue Diving Boat Fishing Dinghy Tender Pontoon

You can ignore the one review that says the one-way valves don't work. He didn't understand them. Each has a push pin release screw in the center. To make it seal when/after inflating, (with the cap off), rotate slightly in one direction allowing it to be in the up position.. To make it release all the air in the tube, press in slightly and rotate in the other direction to lock it down and open. The valves work great in other words, you just have to read the instructions to know how they work. Everything on this boat seems comparable to the Dynous 12' I had and loved 25 years ago. With a 20 hp motor you want this boat to be as least as heavy as it is (about 130 pounds) so the overall weight is a nice balance between safety in use and lightness for moving it around. The floorboards are strong and heavy and go together easier than my Dynous did. The transom is solid as well. All the handles and attachment D-rings seem strong and durable. Surprisingly the manual says NOT to tow using the single D-ring in the bow front, but rather to use the two on either side of the bow. The oar locks and oars seem quite sturdy and serviceable. I've read that PVC boats don't hold up as well as hypalon in hot tropical sun, so I will make some sunbrella covers for the tubes to use when I'm keeping the boat out and in the sun down there. None of these boats do well if left to bake long-term in hot sun.

Inflated 3 times - once for trial/error initial setup. 2nd & 3rd for fishing trips on the ocean (first trip, first few hours I had that lingcod!) Relatively easy setup process even with the foot pump. Collapse well as long as you suck all the air out. Paired with a 9hp Windessy outboard (also on Amazon) this holds all of the gear and fishing equipment/motor etc easily, feels very very safe and sturdy! Will update after some more use.

The three air valves/chambers are supposed to have one way valves that close after airing up and removing the hose and putting on the cap. Only one air valve does this. The other two leak air back out until you can get the cap on and screwed down tight. That means I have to over inflate those two air chambers to get them to be at the preferred pressure. This Is poor quality that a more expensive boat probably won’t have.Other than that I wish that it had a metal transom instead of wood for long term durability.The good; handles well even in chop, roomy enough for more than two people, inflates in minutes with electric air pump and deflates even faster.

Very quick delivery. Very well built. Better than expected.

Good quality, well equipped and comfortable. I purchased the 12 ft inflatable to use as a dingy in accessing our larger boat moored in Casco Bay. It handles the water well when it gets a little rough with my wife, our Samoyed, myself and some gear. Seems durable so far. Using an 8hp now. Will swap out next year using a 2hp when new docks will be closer.

Very sturdy and well made, I put a 5hp propane motor on it and very comfortable seats, I would recommend this boat

I bought this dingy a year ago d it already started ripping apart

The fabric is a little thin. As soon as it touched a oyster shell. It ripped a one inch tear in the side. I was able to patch it right away with the black rubber CA glue.We get compliments all the time. It is a very stable dinghy for going back and forth to the dinghy dock. With laundry , water, gas, and food.I would ask the mfg. To add extra skin to the top an lower sides.
