Material you can hit with a hammer
Would you hit an inflatable boat with a claw hammer? We hit the 1000 denier hull material in our Sea Eagle boats with a claw hammer .... with the sharp claw end.
The Sea Eagle reinforced hull material can take this incredible pounding ... so you don't need to sweat bumping into the dock now and then.

sea eagle 285fpb
a review
|
Recently I had the opportunity to test the new Sea Eagle 285ftp Frameless Pontoon Boat.
Take a look:
Sea Eagle 285fpb Pro - 4 Stars
Center Lake in beautiful Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota proved to be the perfect setting for our recent test of Sea Eagle's newest and smallest fishing boat...the Sea Eagle 285fpb Frameless Pontoon Boat. Constructed with Sea Eagle's bulletproof high pressure PVC fabric this little gem weighs just 42 pounds and goes from carry bag to "water ready" in under 10 minutes! Our test boat was equipped with Sea Eagle's Pro Option group which included a super comfortable swivel fishing seat set which proved to have excellent back support. Just aft in easy reach was the very robust motor-mount which I loaded up with a MinnKota 30 pound thrust electric trolling motor. The motor mount is capable of weights up to a 45 pounds so a 2 or 3 HP gas outboard would work well but we prefer the silent power from our little battery operated electric trolling motor which is easily recharged from our Motorhome's roof mounted solar panels. Also included with our Sea Eagle 285fpb Pro was the one-piece durable casting floor making it easy to stand and cast. Efficient rowing in our test boat was compromised by poor oar lock placement but the rock steady Sea Eagle 285 Pro was so much fun and so quick with the MinnKota I don't really see spending much time pulling on the oars. Sea Eagle President Cecil Hoge later indicated that the
oarlock pins will be lengthened 4" in the next batch of Sea Eagle 285's which will be available in the first quarter of 2010. No need to wait however because Sea Eagle will provide a retro oarlock pin extension for older 285's! This will resolve this knee knocking issue when rowing with the swivel seat.
 Rowing with new oarlocks
I resolved it quickly by switching to the narrower Deluxe Kayak Seat which is also shipped with the Sea Eagle Pro Option Group.Nice seat with almost the same back support and comfort of the bulkier swivel seat and a lot easier to tote
The 285 motored very nicely with my MinnKota Endura and would turn on a dime. I had to tend the motor when the wind came up which is to be expected in a 9' boat. An anchor is a must! I turned my swivel seat to the side, put my feet up on the pontoons while trolling which put both the motor tiller and the rod holder in easy reach. Nice!
The front foot brace is notched to allow the casting floorboard to slide under the foot brace's rear lip increasing stability when standing. This leaves several inches of uncovered black material in the rear which is where I placed the Battery Box.
This rock-steady Sea Eagle 285ftp Pro is a motor-powered one-man fishing machine and a 4 Star performer on the water and now only $649!
Sea Eagle 285fpb Deluxe- 5 Stars
Sea Eagle also offers this dandy fishing machine in the Sea Eagle 285 Deluxe version. Same boat as above but without the Casting Floor, Motormount, or Swivel Seat Set. They do include the inflatable Deluxe Kayak Seat which has got to be the most comfortable inflatable seat ever produced! With the Deluxe Kayak Seat resting on the floor there was plenty of room to row and boy would the 285 fly when rowed back-wards! It was also easy to push row efficiently. I tried to stand and cast without the wooden casting floor just to see if I could and although possible I was very unsteady and wouldn't recommend standing without the casting floor. I did put the motor mount back on and discovered that although you could still reach the motor the extension handle would be a nice addition. You can ala-carte the Sea Eagle 285 Deluxe adding just the options you need for your kind of fishing...and budget.
Removing the Pro options also lightened up the Sea Eagle 285 so that I could carry the Sea Eagle 285 deluxe version from the waters edge over 40 feet to my truck...single handed. I needed Crystal's help to launch with Pro Options installed. The inflated 285 traveled to the lake in the back of my Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with just a couple of feet hanging over the tailgate. Handy!"
I gave the Sea Eagle 285ftp Deluxe Verizon one more star than the Pro Option equipped Sea Eagle because the lighter weight Deluxe version is simplicity personified! A fast rigging rock-steady boat, a comfortable seat, efficient oars, a fishing pole...and you!
Perfect...and only $449!
Thanks for reading...TIM
