Review: Great boat and company - This boat is exactly what I was looking for. It arrived quickly and early. There was an initial problem in shipping that left a part damaged. I contacted Sea Eagle through desertcart and explained the problem. With these type of things you never know if, or when you will hear back. To my surprise they contacted me the next day. They quickly agreed to send the replacement part. I appreciate the customer support and would like to send a special thanks to Susan.
Review: Perfect One-Person Fishing Vessel - Review is more like 4.5 stars. The only downsides are that the Sea Eagle 285 becomes difficult to keep on track in wind because of the pontoon shape and lack of skegs on the bottom (You hear that Sea Eagle-common complaint) and it is a little difficult to row the oars due to my long legs, but I think I have found the right position (oars are only for emergencies for me or getting out of tight spots). Other than that, this thing is awesome. It became clear as soon as I took this out of the box that the boat is super durable and made of much thicker material than I expected-super high quality. Once I learned the process, set-up and take-down is no more than 20-minutes each, even with the foot pump. Quick tip: make sure you pump up the boat less than half way and then install the floor because any more air than that makes it almost impossible to wedge the floor into the grooves. The swivel chair is higher quality and comfortable. It is at the right height to make good seated casts and I don't see the need to stand up. I am a big guy, (6 foot, 280#) so standing up is a bit of a balancing act, but doable, and would be much easier for someone smaller. The Scotty mounts/holders are top notch and I have already purchased the triple rod mount and anchor lock as upgrades. I currently run this boat with myself, 30lb thrust trolling motor, big 110ah battery and box, fish finder with 10ah battery, and a crate full of tackle, and the boat still rides high in the water and is super stable-no stress or concerns.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the swivel seat warrantied?  Does it creak and flex when you're moving around while sitting? Any problems with the seat and/or mount?**
A: I don't think the seat is warranties,my does creak and flex some but nothing more than normal discount seat attachment goes.  The mount is sturdy enough for me,at 188 lbs, but the board that's it's mounted on is not.  It is starting to bow a little already.  Major complaint on the boat is it is not wide enough to hold more gear in the boat.

**Q: Can this boat be used in class 3 rapids**
A: Thank you for your interest in Sea Eagle Boats. Our 285FPB is not rated for whitewater rapids.

**Q: in what country are these made?**
A: Why does the weight tag say made in china?

**Q: Has anyone tried mounting the seat/floor backward and trolling in reverse for long periods? More comfortable than reaching behind you to steer?**
A: I just converted mine I also  I converted my minkota c2 55  into a bow mount. I haven’t hit the water yet but I can tell you it looks like this is the way Togo more room more control you aren’t bent in a ackward position trying to steer and fish. Also you won’t get water sloshing in the front I’ll post pics next time I inflate

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was worth the wait and the money
*by J***T on June 10, 2017*

Spent 2 years trying to decide which pontoon boat to purchase. It all came down to the Colorado XT and the Sea Eagle 285 Pro. I am able to usually fit everything into the trunk of my Toyota Avalon, so that makes me happy. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to pump using the air pump included and I'm ready to go. For larger people like myself you may need to move the seat back (drill holes into the floor board) if you intend to row, otherwise the oars constantly hit you. Rowing is pretty easy once you get use to it. Heavier winds will turn you 6 ways to Sunday when you stop, but the same thing happens with an aluminum row boat. Rod holders are by Scotty. Boat seems very sturdy but there is no way on any given day I will be caught standing up in the boat because of my weight and inability to balance at times. If I had any complaint I'd wish it was maybe a half a foot wider. It would feel a little safer and I'd have more "storage room". So far I'm using it for fishing smaller lakes and cardio work outs (if you want to call them that.) I'd recommend purchasing the Sea Eagle EZ Cart unless you like dragging the boat across the ground. Carrying the boat while only 45 ish pounds with floor board and seat in is awkward.
