Anybody into inflatable boats??

[Ghooge2008]

Been thinking about buying an inflatable boat, mainly the Intex Excursion 5...anyone know any hands on info they could share?? a 500 dollar used zodiac is out of the question...working with a baby on the way budget...it will be used mainly for lake, light river playing...nothing like white water, something like tubing or in place of my canoe...the canoe was way too tippy for the wife to even get comfortable in...it was a plastic 14' pelican...I dont know if it was just us...but unstable as heck! we will proballt be running up on gravel/sand bars in the rivers around middle tennessee...and that is also a concern I have.

When you're making your small list of "musts" vs. "wants" make sure "Beer Holder" is in the Must category, so you do us proud!
