Any body own one? Looking for honest reviews.
I have about $1000-$1200 to spend and want something in the 12FT range.

Thanks in advance folks!

Depends on the intended usage. I have run numerous brands of rafts and the saturn is near the bottom in both price and quality. Will they work? For sure, but there are much better boats on the market for sure. In your price range you will have to look at the used market though as and Rocky Mountain, Star, Tributary or the like start around $2600 and go up quickly from there when buying new. Saturn is what I would consider a entry level boat..

I'd recommend a Seamax, great product and there is a dealer in Edmonton so great service too!

I love mine...

what these guys are saying is true , you get what you pay for . however , i have had one for about five years now and have not had any problems with it . i got it for a trip to the yukon cause i could not pull my boat behind the rv in bc .i have had it in the water a dozen or so times and my kid has used it exclusively for the last three years . we run a 15hp on it . the pump it came with was a pos but the boat itself is ok . i have never owned any other inflatible to compare it with but when it is side by side with a zodiak on the beach you can sure tell the difrence .
hope this helps .

Just get seamax or aquamarine if you are looking for entry level. They are in bc. You don't have to pay custom fee and crazy shipping price.

I have a 15' Saturn with a 20 HP on it and it's a great boat. Had it for 3 seasons now and never had any issues.

Gerry at KayGee boats (here in Edmonton) was the distributor for Saturn a few years a go and now sells Seamax. I'd say both are very comparable in price and quality.

I have no problems recommending these boats as I have never had any issues.

Here's my boat out at Battle Lake with my little guy and grandpa - http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5642/he4g.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/703/he4g.jpg/)
