haha same here!
Yep, same here
Same here. He may have changed my mind about canoes.
I think I changed my mind a little bit about canoes! I've always been a kayaker and not much of a canoeist. Can definitely see myself getting out more on a canoe.
Wow I have been looking to get out onto the water in a Canoe but didn't have the space to store your traditional canoe and didn't want to carry one on top of my vehicle and now I can with this blowup Canoe , outstanding and I now have to get one for next season and it was because of your video that I'm getting one as well, keep up the good works and I'll see you on the water.
Wow, thank you so much Sean for the feedback! I really appreciate you watching the video and your comments!

I got this canoe at the beginning of summer and I have added pontoons that make it easy to spend hours on the water standing. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!
That’s so awesome, glad you like it and your are able to configure it to suit your needs and activities! Have a great weekend!
@@KayakCliff you as well cliff! I’m happy to be subscribed to your channel. Your a very nice dude!
That is impressive.
Sea Eagle products I've seen
perform well. Sure eliminates the issue
of storage space for your 16 foot canoe 👍
You hit the nail in the head! All great points! Yes, I'm really impressed with this canoe, and I do love how easy it is to transport and store when finished, set up is a little longer putting the seats in, but not too bad at all.
I sure hope seaeagle gives you commissions 😂 I got one because of your videos and now my dad has one because he loved mine and a friend is getting one as well!
Love your videos and honest reviews
Thanks! 🙏
I'm so glad you love yours and your Dad loves his!!!

Thanks, Michael! That was actually an Insta360 camera. With drones not always allowed, I often put the Insta360 on a 9 foot pole and it gets a drone like visual. I love to have that option up my sleeve.

Wow! Looks like a nice travel option! Thanks for sharing! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Yes, I’m ALL inflatable paddling now, mainly kayaks though. For me, inflatable is the way to go, I was hard shell for many years, but LOVE not having
the transportation & storage issues by having an inflatable. Have a great weekend!
Great video and beautiful canoe! Thanks for making this Kayak Cliff.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comments!
Hi Cliff, another great video as usual. If you had to choose between the TC16 and the Explorer 420X, which would you choose? I'm torn between the two, they each have similar specs, and can both do class 4 rapids if need be (occasional for me and my wife).
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.
Hey 👋 Leo, well you ask another great question! Because I like the balanced act of paddling a kayak with a kayak paddle, I would probably go with the explorer, although the 380 X simply because it would be better if I am solo. If I was tandem most of the time I would go with the 420 X.
I view the act of paddling a canoe like that as a tandem act, and I am usually solo, therefore a kayak probably works better. Still, I would definitely like to paddle the travel canoe down a river, camping trip by myself. Definitely doable!
Hope this helps, let me know what you choose! Safe adventuring out there!

As an inflatable sup owner/paddler this just seems like a sup with sidewalls to catch more wind, how ever it looks well made and I can attest drop stitch is very durable
Hi William - It’s really just a nice canoe. You are right though, the hull will catch more wind than a paddleboard. Of course if you are standing on a
paddleboard, I would argue that the paddle board catches more wind with the human sail standing up on it, Lol. I, myself, have not really been
a canoe paddler, as I have always gravitated to double blade paddling in a kayak. I do like paddle boarding too, more to come on that with videos.
Have a great weekend!

Rock on Kayak Cliff!, I Really appreciate your Vids; you were the first to sell me on the Sea Eagle line...Its kind of a toss up: Sea Eagle Canoe, Paddle Ski, or the Fast Track?? ...Kinda leaning toward the Fast Track, for Fishing & all around Fun with my dog & a Friend...Thanks Cliff😊
Wow! That is quite a fleet! Enjoy them all and stay safe out there!
Oh sorry, just realized that you might have been asking which kayak you should go with? If you are considering paddling the paddle ski as a primary activity, I would urge against that. The paddle ski can be paddled if you are going with the wind or current. I would never want to be paddling that out in the open in rougher seas or headwinds. It is a great boat to paddle, when you are using environmental conditions to your advantage. For what you want to do, I would recommend the Explorer or fast track.

13:50 that river.. 😍
It was certainly a beautiful river, one of my favorites in Florida. You want to time the tides right though!
Looks like the literally perfect cross between an inflatable paddle board that you can stand up on and the Canoe. Looks like it will be good for stand up paddling. It even looks comfortable enough to sleep in period who needs an inflatable mattress for camp cot if you have an inflatable Canoe to sleep in?
Now that’s an idea! With the middle seat out, you probably could sleep in it. Just be careful when you get up to pee in the middle of the night, Lol

Cliff, your videos have helped me decide to get a Sea Eagle Explorer. Thank you. Fantastic videos. Please tell me the brand and model of your PFD - the one with the high back that is comfortable with the SE high back seats. Thank you.
Great review. Reminds me to get back to the chassahowitzka river. Love paddling there.
Have fun when you go! I have found that it is best to go at high tide, otherwise you are limited to the number of places that you can go!
@@KayakCliff and early! The parking lot gets full quick. The ramp and kayak launch can be a zoo on the weekends!
You are right, I only choose to do places like that on weekdays.
Your Sea Eagle reviews are informative and well presented,but have you reviewed one of Sea Eagles most popular ,capable and versatile kayaks,the SE 330.
Not everyone can access the more expensive kayaks but could well afford the very excellent SeE 330.Your review could encourage more people to get started in this enjoyable sport.
Thank you so much for your comments, John! You are not the first one to ask for that! I just spoke with Sea Eagle today and they're going to send me one to review, can't wait to get it and try it out!
My overarching goal is to get more people in the great outdoors, paddling kayaks. This will definitely help!
First time I see an inflatable canoe that looks better than a Gumotex.
There's even a protection pad at dog's spot ! ^^
I really like that.
Thanks for watching and your comments! It is actually rated for up to Class IV whitewater. I have not tried that, but have seen videos of the
inflatable canoe successfully hitting the rapids…… Maybe someday I’ll get a chance to try at least Class II.
Likecfolding bikes and packrafts there is a certain appeal to packable vessels. Withoit real room to winter a solid canoe but as a 🇨🇦 that uses and needs one this is a viable option. The seemingly flat bottom yields some concern with turns as does the hefty weight.
Hey there, it seems to turn well for me, but I'm a kayaker and not a canoer. So, I might not be the best judge, when comparing to high-end canoes. I have definitely shifted to pretty much all inflatable crafts, because I love the portability, storability, performance and transportability that they offer, compared to the rigid hard shells that I had in the past.
I need a travel canoe now. I have a Pelican fiberglass canoe and its a huge pain to transport.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I hear ya! For many years, I had several hardshell kayaks, transportation, storage, were a big pain in the butt. That's why I switched over to inflatables! I have an inflatable for whatever type of activity I want to do, then when I am done, they roll up and store on a shelf. So practical, without sacrificing quality, and performance! Have a great week!

I have owned Two Sea Eagle inflatable sport boats purchased new and both with three-year warranties. Both of those boats started falling apart just after the three-year warranty had expired. The first thing that came unglued on my 14 foot boat was one of the tow rings while I was driving down the interstate. Thankfully, I was wise enough to purchase two high-quality American made D rings and glued them to the nose of the boat using high-quality American made glue. Shortly after that all the seams came unglued, including the transom. One morning I went outside and there was my motor sitting on the ground and The transom completely unglued from the boat. Just imagine zipping across the lake and your transom comes unglued. I’m surprised SeaEagle has not been sued out of existence by now. I wonder how many people have been seriously injured when their boats came unglued. I consider all sea eagle boats to be dangerous Chinese junk and would highly advise anyone against purchasing one.
Sorry to hear about your experiences. I know many viewers of mine that have had their boats for 10 years now with no problems. I'm curious, what part of the country do you live? How do you store your boats when not in use? I always make sure my boats are totally dry and I store them always in a climate controlled AC / Heated facility. Never extremely hot or never extremely cold. That is important for me here in Texas. Storage in extreme temperatures could alter the lifespan of your boat. Some just roll up their boats and store them in an extra bedroom closet or slide under a bedroom bed. Others, store in a basement if they have a basement. Basements are a very good climate controlled facility throughout the year.
Let me know the answers to these questions, that will help me!
Fat track tandem, 5 years old, seam on the inside hull came apart(unglued). No fix possible, always stored dry in climate controled ( 70) area.
I own a 14 year old Sea eagle explorer ( 850 lbs capacity, they don't make them anymore) no issues still going strong. When sea eagle became popular their quality and customer service went down hill. I will never buy another product from them again, the old stuff was good, everything from the last ten years not so much
@hansmeister2480
Sorry to hear about your experience, I think that is uncommon. They do still make the explorer line, here's the links below. Perhaps, yours was a different model from back then or maybe they still make it. The Explorer is almost bombproof.

Ditch the YETI bag....opt for the waterproof plastic drum common on Canoe back country trips for gear storage.
Would be great if Sea Eagle would supply you with a Discount Code for Followers....
I hear ya, I would love to have a discount code for my viewers, right now my affiliate link just gets me a little bit back to help support my channel and all the videos I do. It can get pretty expensive! I certainly appreciate all of my viewers support with my affiliate links 😊
Thanks for the recommendation on the waterproof drum! I have seen those, but I am not a typical canoer, usually I kayak. Would be nice to have for the canoe and for my boat for remote camping trips.
Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great week!

Good review, thanks for making it. I've been using SE Explorer and RazorLite for almost 10 years. One question I have about TC-16 that I cannot find an answer to anywhere: how do you carry it on a 1000 meters portage? No yoke or anything similar to it nor a way to attach a yoke.
There is definitely no yoke, nor have I ever seen one offered. Think you are probably going to have to two person “team” carry it, or use the seat as a yoke
with a life jacket on it providing some cushion for your poor neck! Perhaps you could make a yoke, then attach it to D rings that you rig at the balance
fulcrum point on the hull………
I emailed there customer service about that, they actually called me to talk about it. They mentioned it should be easy enough to just get a yoke made for it yourself, and add attachment points similar to the seat design. I did look into it and it's doable, just wish they offered it as an option.
@crewagnew3747 weekend project!
@crewagnew3747 yeah, I hear ya! Would be cool to see that, send me a picture if you do it, my contact information is on my website kayakcliff.com.
Which pump do you have? Have you ever timed exactly how long it took to fully inflate?
Hi there! I have this pump - Air Inflation Pumps:
alnk.to/9btN2h3
It is extremely FAST. Depending on the kayak or boat you are inflating, the times are different, but the all drop stitch RazorLite with 3 - 10psi
air chambers takes like 4 minutes to inflate. It’s a great pump, I still have the pump that preceded this Mega pump, and the Mega pump is
definitely faster, with longer lasting battery. I believe I could inflate 8-10 kayaks on one charge with the Mega pump.
Nice review.
Thanks!

Another great informative video Cliff! Does that smaller skeg fit the razorlite?
Absolutely, the skeg works great on the razor light and also the new EZLite - it is actually the skeg that I prefer. You can order them from sea Eagles website under the accessories page.
@@KayakCliff perfect! Thanks Cliff!
I am thinking about getting one of those seaegale tc 16, I'm wanting to transport it by bicycle trailer.

@@KayakCliffthe only thing that is stopping me is the price. Which is a bit out of my budget. I am on disability, and get under $900.00 per month to live on, and rent takes 74% of my check. Do you know if sea eagle has a payment plan? Or anyone who wants to sell one used, a bit cheaper? The canoe seems to have a good amount cargo area enough to load bicycle, trailer, and camping/fishing gear.
@JohnFoerster-i5y hi John, Seaeagle does sell, used models, which will save you a little. Hope this helps!
@KayakCliff I thank you good sir, I will look into that. I am not going to give up on my quest, to get a quality and sturdy inflatable canoe. I found a site that does have a TC 16k for sale, but the price is so low, that I question its validity and think it is a scam. The price is only $200.00 USD. So I doubt it is true.
@JohnFoerster-i5y it's good to be wary. Lots of scams out there. Look into it anyway, it won't materialize if it's a scam. They will just ask you to send money to hold it.
Which model Shelta camo hat are your
wearing? Thinking about trying one out. Also, I stumbled across your videos last night. Great job.
Hi there, David, in that video I was wearing the Seahawk hat. I have since started wearing the Firebird a lot more, because I prefer the wide brim that it has. The Seahawk is a narrow brim, and it is awesome, but sometimes I want even more protection which the Firebird does wonderfully. Both are awesome hats!

They're actually finding out more and more people are getting skin cancers by not getting enough sun ironically. It's the other way around. I'm a big advocate of getting plenty of vitamin d and getting sun. All my friends who have gotten skin cancers always wear sunscreen. 🤔. Great video. Looks amazing and nice areas to be in a canoe. I'm just north of Orlando. This is a nice looking spring. Where did you say this was from?
Yes! In my humble opinion, I believe sunscreens are what are giving people cancer. They're unnecessary chemicals to be putting on the skin, unless they are mineral based zinc products. They make you all white though, then that white rubs off all over your boat and your car, etc., I choose to just cover up and if it is hot, I get the cover-up wet and it is like air conditioning. Also, I take vitamin D supplements which are supposed to be beneficial to preventing skin cancer.
The place that I was paddling is Chassahowitzka Springs, which is near Weeki Wachee and Homosassa Springs
@@KayakCliff Thanks 🙏👍 for the reply! I agree on your thoughts on sunscreen 🧴 completely. God bless 🙏😀That looks like a really nice spring. I like that 🛶 canoe too. 😜
I like the canoe Sir. But no budget. Are there any old stock or old model canoe?
Check with Sea Eagle 800-748-8066 , they often have used models that are in great shape!
I've got the razorlite one man kayak....should I have got this one??
I like the side handles.
Oh, I would only get the canoe if I wanted a canoe. This canoe is full-size at 16 foot. Not in any way comparable to the razor light 393RL. Even though you can paddle the travel canoe, solo, it is in no way just like the razor light kayak.
Hi Cliff, do you prefer sea eagle kayaks over Pakayak ‘s kayak???
I will start out by saying that I love the Pakayak and how it is virtually identical to a one piece hard shell rotomolded touring kayak. If that's what you're looking for, the Pakayak is it! My only complaint about it was its sub 60 pound weight. I believe 58 or 59 pounds. Not much different than a one piece rotomolded 14 foot touring kayak. Now, all new packayaks are significantly lighter coming in around 49 pounds. That is a big plus! I'm actually thinking of selling mine and getting a newer lighter model.
I use Sea Eagles the most! I love how extremely light they are, how they perform very well, and how they carry a ton of weight! My favorite Sea Eagles are the:
Razorlite
EZLite10
Explorer
With these three boats, you can do virtually anything in the paddling world.
I will attach links for all four boats below. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

What are those blisters/bubbles in the black vinyl on the end?
Great question! This is common on drop stitch inflatables. Wherever you have an inflation valve, opposite that valve on the other side is a little blister. Totally normal! It occurs when the internal fibers that make up the drop stitch fabric are cut free to make way for the inflation valve.
I have always wondered why reviewers of such gear never show them packing the gear into their bags after they are used.
I get it, perhaps I will do a future video on how I pack and store my boats when not using. I don't ever fold them and put them back in their bag. I bring them home wet and deflated, then reinflate at home to let dry. Once dry, I fold them to about a 4 foot nice and flat length. I then lay them up on a shelf in a climate controlled garage. I have lots of shelves with lots of different boats. This is what works best for me and most people that I talk to.
Hi Cliff, I don't see a link to the pump? Is yours rechargeable or does it need to be plugged in to 12V? I'm looking to get one for my 437PS. Nice video by the way,
Thank you so much for the heads up, I will go back and add this link to the details page. Here is the link, it is 12 V rechargeable, does not need to be plugged into operate. Is an amazing pump!

Any suggestions for an inflatable canoe like this but smaller?
I grew up with canoes but never tried a kayak.
I'm after something light, inflatable and tough to go out on the bay with, just for relaxing and maybe bringing one other with me.
Hi 👋 there, great question! I'm not familiar with anything smaller in terms of a true canoe, but still inflatable. Here are some other great options though. One of them is very canoe like.
This is one of my favorite kayaks, it is often referred by many as a canoe, because of its open cockpit style. You can get this in single or tandem. I have both, but have never paddle the tandem as a single paddler. If you are going to paddle as a single paddler, the majority of the time, I would go with a single 393 RL.

I guess, if you want something smaller, but canoe like, I would definitely look into the RazorLite!
@@KayakCliff I keep flip flopping between Razorlite and Fasttrack, a friend of mine goes down a river that is shallow enough in places that it usually bottoms out, plus a patch of class 1'ish rapids.
Razorlite says no rapids and I'm heavier so I THINK I'd be better off with the FastTrack for that?
But I'm not sure how strict the whole "no whitewater" bit is.
@KMCA779 i've been down class one Rapids in mine (RazorLite)with about 50 pounds of camping gear, plus my 190 pounds self. It performed well for me, but if you are a heavier, paddler, you might have a little difficulty. The problem with the fast track, for me, is if you ever have to remove the skeg, it is very difficult to paddle. I have started using the small skeg that Sea Eagle sells, and it is wonderful, I have not tried it on the fast track yet though. I am thinking it would work great though! Here is the link for the small skeg.
Small Skeg - alnk.to/2uHhSFa
16:44 Jumping fish.
Yes, that was a mullet jumping. Very common in that part of Florida. Pretty cool to catch it on camera!
They are really expensive though ?
They are pricey, but you don’t need a roof rack or trailer to transport and they don’t take up much space to store like a full size boat. You can
spend a lot more on a composite or wood boat, but less on an aluminum / plastic boat. Not having the transportation issues or storage issues,
I think it’s a good price point. Also having the buoyancy of never sinking on the added stability is a plus +. Thanks for watching and commenting!

The Most Portable Canoe Ever
ua-cam.com/video/Ty1Y3Z4gO7w/v-deo.html
for a week-trip I would expect to be able to portage it. I don't see a portaging yoke here.....
No portaging yoke, you would have to cut & finish your own. You could then order extra D rings from Sea Eagle to easily mount the Yoke, shouldn’t
be too hard at all.
What is more comfortable on the lower back. This Sea Eagle Canoe or the 473RL tandem? I'm torn between these two.
That is a very good question! I do prefer the sea eagle high back seats as they do support my back very well. My butt gets sore in them because they are a little hard.
Now, if I am sitting in a canoe, I am sitting with my butt higher off the ground, more in a seating position, so my legs tend to be more comfortable. I have not been in the canoe for the extended amounts of time like I have been in the kayak. I think it's a tossup between the two. I will say, set up and take down on the razor light is faster and easier. You don't have 12 nuts and bolts that you have to back out to remove the seats like in the canoe. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

@@KayakCliff Thanks for your opinion.
@Rottingboards here is a video of my dad and me paddling the 473 Rel for two days on the Suwanee river.

@@KayakCliff Yep, I watched both videos. It looks like the 475RL had great back support but the Canoe sits you up higher so your legs can be more relaxed thus relaxing your back? It sounds like you prefer the 475RL when it comes to back support.
@Rottingboards I guess the big question would be, how comfortable are you when you are at a sporting event sitting on a bleacher seat without any back support? I am fine with that, I do like to get up every hour and stand and walk around though..... Same thing with the 473RL. After about an hour to an hour and a half of paddling, my butt hurts, but my back support is great.

Sorry, I do not understand. Can you post in English?
It’s all fun and games till someone pokes an eye out…..or a sharp stick pokes your canoe. So, so as I understand it, stability is largely to do with hull shape. A flat bottom should feel initially more stable, but if you start to lean too much, it just drops over. Did you ever get that feeling, or does maybe the fact it’s inflatable change things? And just J stroke it. Why would you switch all the time?
Thanks for watching and commenting Jim! I do think the shape of the hull gives it stability as you say, also the fact that the sides of the boat
are inflatable air chambers, means as you dip a side down, your encounter more resistance due to the inherent floatation in the sides. That too
might give it great stability. As for the stroke, I must say, I am a kayaker and have not done too much canoeing. I was always taught that the
person in the back of the boat is in charge of steering, for me that meant switching sides. I know that is probably wrong, but I am definitely a neophyte in the canoe paddling world, Lol.
Take care and safe adventuring!

Exactly. I capsized just leaning to get under a branch. Very stable until you get to that point. The whoosh UR swimming.
Sorry thats so weird . Your comment section was attached to a completely different video about some women living illegally at some guys house. Im not sure how that happened. Just ignore my comment. Sorry about that. I watched your video then i watch another video and some how your comment section was below this other video. Anyway cool canoe . Ignore my first comment.
Oh wow, thank you for the clarification! That might explain some things… For some reason this video has exploded in views.
2000 smackers for that thing.....jeez.
It’s not for everybody, but great for many! For me, inflatables are definitely the way to go, after being a hard shell paddler for many years. I like
how easy they are to transport & store and travel with. I no longer have to worry while sleeping in a hotel, if my boats are ok sitting on the top
of my vehicle.
Okay, I will bite. How much cash did Sea Eagle front you for this review???
No cash fronted at all, why do you ask?
You really need to take your sunglasses off. Never do a review wearing them.
Yeah, OK… Right. These are my prescription glasses that I need to see. You will always see me wearing my Rx glasses. Today I had Rx sunglasses on, because I was outside, in the sun ☀️😊
Good god man. Take some courses and learn some strokes. Zero reason to ever switch sides on a canoe to track straight unless you are getting tired. J Stroke, C Stroke, draws, sweeps, pry’s, all these strokes make a canoe one of the most efficient water craft ever, but switching sides to track straight is simply a waste of energy.
No need to get all self righteous and prideful on me now! After all, I am a kayaker and have never professed to be a canoeist. That being said, I would
like to get some canoe paddling strokes under my belt. Need to get a canoe first though, I was just trying this one out with Alex from Sea Eagle.
We don't care Cliff, keep doing you. By the way I use a dual blade kayak paddle for my canoe and I get to where I need to go.
@Jiraiyashouse666 Lol, Thanks!!! I’ll have to try out a kayak paddle, I’ve always wondered how it would work. I think a 240 - 250 cm paddle would
work really well!
@@KayakCliff...I have a pretty tall kayak so I use a 250-260 and it's very comfortable. I'm not about fancy strokes...I actually got into kayak/canoeing for exercise so I like the symmetrical workout experience of a double sided paddle.
@Jiraiyashouse666 absolutely! That is what I like about kayaking is the symmetry and I believe it is much more efficient in terms of speed and performance.
What happens when a gator chomps on it, or a bear opens it up with a sharp claw! "Oh shit!" is what happens then 😂😅
Not really concerned about some thing that is so unlikely to happen. I wouldn't want it to happen on a hard shell craft either. Either way you're going down. Again, EXTREMELY unlikely. I refuse to live my life in fear.
