Is the Coleman inflatable kayak a good value?
Maybe. Let me explain. Outfitters like me stick our noses up in the air and make jokes about boats like the Coleman inflatable kayak. It is not an outfitter quality boat. And, the wrong person using it in the wrong setting can get into serious trouble. That said, there is a place in the world for boats like this inflatable kayak. Here are my guidelines for operating it: 1. Always have a more solid boat with an experienced boater nearby. 2. Only use it in normal water and weather conditions. Don’t use it in high or low water. Don’t use it in extreme heat, extreme cold, or windy conditions. 3. Use it only on calm water. This could include lakes, rivers and sounds. All boating requires care, caution and good judgment. Boats like the Coleman inflatable kayak require extra doses of each.
