I'm waiting for this boat to be delivered. If I had seen your review first, I might have ordered the 75 which is a bit longer, but I paid less than $100 for it, and I don't plan to use it a lot. It's basically a backup in case something happens to my full-size inflatable kayak (Itiwit x500) on a long camping trip when I'm miles from civilization and paddling is my only option. I'm taking such a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp in a couple of months. I was fine without a backup the last time I camped there, but you never know when an alligator will decide to bite your boat. This thing needs to be small enough not to take too much space on my x500, and it needs to be durable enough that I can expect it to get me back home with my gear including a deflated x500. It doesn't need to be very comfortable since I'm only using it in an emergency, but my eight year old granddaughter may use it otherwise.
