Default Let's talk inflatables

Hi everyone:

Well, the old Metzler inflatable is nearing the end of it's life after 30 years and about a dozen or so patches.

What does everyone like for inflatables; here is my criteria:

1. Must be comfortable to fish out of for 4 adults. Looking at 14 feet in length.

2. Must have a built in bracket to mount the electric trolling motor.

3. Must be equally versatile for Edmonton area trout pothole lakes as well as floating and rowing rivers. To be sure, I have zero interest in whitewater, it's not necessary for me to run class IV to VI rapids, not trying to run this through Hell's gate on the Fraser. Just using the boat as a vessel to go from A to B on the river from fishing spot to fishing spot. Class 3 water at most. Think Athabasca, Berland, NSR, and the Bow.

I've looked at Zebec, Zodiac, Saturn, Sea Eagle, SeaMax, Aquamarine.

Thoughts?

Cheers in advance,
Mike
