 Boat good, accessories OKJun 25, 2007
By Jason R. Mcdaniel
"J-Mac"
The hand pump included with this package worked well enough, but I definitely recommend an electric or battery-operated pump because the boat's three separate air compartments take forever to fill with a hand pump. The oars included were solid, but the boat's oar locks didn't seem to work exactly right with the oars. Also, the fishing rod holder didn't seem to hold up strong enough to keep the pole from leaning into the water. But the boat is really big and really nice and definitely worth purchasing.

 Excellent lake raftNov 04, 2009
By Aaron Wilcoxon
I bought two of these rafts and am very impressed after our first summer using them. When I began researching different rafts I was concerned about quality and durability. The first time I inflated this raft I was surprised at how thick the material is and how rigid it becomes when fully inflated. I was expecting something more like a pool toy or something. On the lakes we have in each raft 1 adult and 3 kids and they hold up perfectly. (see picture above)
The raft includes 2 collapsible oars (they screw together), two inflatable seats, a manual air pump (which is useless on a raft this size), a small gear bag, some rope, and two fishing pole holders that mount on opposite ends of the raft. Overall a very nice package.
Initially I was debating getting a heavier-duty raft, one called the SeaHawk II which is more expensive and is classified by Intex as a "marine boat". After looking on the Intex website I found the Seahawk 400 is made from 30 gauge material and the SeaHawk II is made from 26 gauge material. In addition the Seahawk 400 has more room and holds more weight. Given those facts and the lower price I decided on the Seahawk 400 set and I am very happy with the decision.

Great value for family river-rafting tripJul 14, 2010
By Sowbug
We just got back from a three-hour Truckee River rafting trip in this boat. All in all, we're very satisfied with this purchase, and we think you'll do as fine as we did with it on a Class I river.
We're a family of five: two adults, two youngsters ages 7 and 5, and a 14-month old toddler. We ordered an inner tube from Amazon along with the Seahawk to make sure there would be room for us all. Once it all arrived, it was clear that we'd all fit inside the boat along with a jug of water and a bag of snacks, so we left the tube at home. The 4-person rating is reasonable, though if you were thinking of taking four adults on a fishing trip with tackle boxes and a cooler, I wouldn't recommend it; it would soon get uncomfortable.
The river this morning was mostly Class A (requiring us to paddle a bit) or Class I, with a few sections of very easy whitewater that might barely qualify as Class II. At those points, we dragged ourselves over rocks once or twice, but I didn't feel that the vinyl threatened to rip open. Along the way, we encountered many rental rafts, which were closer in style to the RST Marine Navigator II 500 available on Amazon. I felt that we were well-prepared, and their rafts were overkill, for the class of river we were on. In other words, on a Class I river you won't feel embarrassed to be seen in this boat.
The oars are adequate. It is fortunate that they float. They're short, and the leverage isn't right for river rafting when they're in the oar locks. We ended up combining the two into a kayak-style paddle, which worked well enough. The gear pouch will stop splashes from the oars, but it's nowhere near watertight. Put your cell phone in a Ziploc bag, preferably with a chunk of styrofoam so it'll float. The boat comes with two inflatable cushions that look ridiculously inadequate, but they were actually nice to sit on.
On disembarking, the Boston valves made it easy to deflate the main two chambers, but as many other reviewers have noted, the floor has a pool-floatie-style valve that's cumbersome to deflate. We strongly recommend taking along a Coleman rechargeable QuickPump (again, with a suitable Ziploc bag enclosing it) to flatten the floor at your destination. Once all three chambers are emptied, you'll find that you can easily roll the boat into a 16-inch diameter, 25-inch length sleeping bag shape. Consider buying a duffel bag, too; unlike some Intex models, the Seahawk 400 doesn't include a bag. The deflated boat is light enough for an adult to carry a short distance.
One worry was that the Amazon pictures show the green 2008 model (880-pound capacity with motor mount support), but the description is of the blue 2007 814-pound model. We ordered directly from Amazon, not from a third-party seller, and did receive the newer model as expected.
All in all, a great value. Next mission: attaching a trolling motor and cruising along Lake Tahoe's west shore. :)

 bad experienceSep 17, 2009
By Vel
I have bought many items from Amazon in the past. But the 4 person boat item was sold via CMS world services. I will never buy any item via them again.
The boat had a leak at the bottom upon when I got it. Now they want me to ship the entire items bck to them in the original package in original condition(which is impossible to put it back once you open it) at your OWN COST. I have already paid $40 to ship it when I got it.
When I send the emails to warrenty services, they are not even replying proptly.
CMS world wide services company is a terrible one. They can ship the damaged item, but you will have to take the cost for that.
Anyone out there want to do the same and take the risk?
See the responce from Amazon when I reported based on their A-Z gurantee:

Hi,
I am not retuning this just because I did not like it. Rather I received a defective item hence it needs to be replaced.
Since I received a defective item, I would expect the seller to pay the retun charge; hence I fully disagree with your statement below.
I would like to dispute this formally and let me know how to proceed.
I can't belive that after paying $40 shipping, you would expect me to send it at my cost the defective item I have received.
