      The other one I have posted is when we went back and were able to complete the run. We were kinda dumb trying to run this as fast as it was going.

      They hold up great. If you have any trouble with them, and for any reason, they bust from normal operation, SeaEagle will just send you a new one. I like this boat so much that my wife and I saw used one for sale at a huge, sporting good store, and I jumped on it because of its quality. Matter of fact, we just took it out to the lake today.

      I don’t know if you watch the other video. I have post it up there with me and my buddy Davis. That is a better video where we make it all the way down section 9 and you can see how it handles in the white water, up to class three rapids.

      I think it's cutted to shape Polystyrene. He have them here in Europe usually in 120x60cm panels in all kind of thickness. Everything between 2 and 25cm. Are used in building construction as insulation for inside and outside,... floors, walls etc. It's very light and water repellent too for short period of times. If kept under water for minutes, hours will suck in some water. Pretty cheap product.

    Good job recovering the seat! Did the "seater" rely on "Velcro" only or also added some scotch tape?!

      I have one of these, those seats sort of pressure fit themselves in place. I took mine out on rapids and it didn't budge the whole trip.

    Did you get any leaks? I just bought one for a rather shallow river.

      No leaks at all. It is a very durable watercraft for being inflatable.

      @@aaronsmith8346 I tried mine out an was very pleased, it took getting hung up several times, class 2 and 3 rapids, and even a few hits from my friends hard sided kayak. I was going to return on arrival, thanks you for giving me the push to try it out. Best purchase I've made in a while so far. :)

    That is not class 3 not even class 2. Sea Eagle 330&370 are fun IK's,but you need to get up the scale before you attempt real white water.Those IK's are not stiff enough in the bottom for WW.

      You're correct. I've run my 300 on the Nantahala with 4 - 5 foot wave trains without ever tipping over. The Sea eagles can handle much bigger water than what you saw here.
