Whether you go boating on rivers, lakes, bays, or oceans, the Sea Eagle 12.6 Sport Runabout inflatable transom boat handles whatever nature throws your way. The Sport Runabout is distinguished by several major features: a tough plastic floorboard, a fiberglass-reinforced transom, and a Deep V inflatable keel. The plastic floorboard is crucial, as inflatable boats require strong, lightweight, and easy-to-assemble flooring materials for best results. Some materials, such as plywood or aluminum, offer one or two of these qualities respectively, but no material combines all three as well as plastic. The fiberglass-reinforced transom, meanwhile, is far superior to painted plywood transoms, as it keeps water from penetrating the surface over the long haul. A painted plywood transom, by contrast, will just rot away with frequent use. More importantly, the fiberglass reinforcement offers strength and durability that plywood just can't match--a crucial feature for carrying the weight and thrust of a heavy outboard motor over bouncing chop. Finally, the Deep V inflatable keel helps your Sport Runabout cut through light chop with ease.

Other details include rugged, secure aluminum seats mounted with a tongue-and-groove mounting system; rounded rear pontoons for fast planing; a reinforced 1,000-denier hull that's tough enough to resist the pounding of a claw hammer; a 5/8-inch grab line along the sides for safety; two stainless-steel D-rings for easy towing; two self-bailing drain valves; and capacity for a 30 horsepower engine weighing as much as 150 pounds.

The Sea Eagle 12.6, which holds up to six adults (up to 1,600 pounds maximum), measures 150 by 64 inches (W x L) and weighs 99 pounds by itself or 152 pounds with the rigid floor. It's also backed by a three-year warranty.
