Seahawk 400

Hi. I am looking to buy a decent inflatable boat. I was thinking about the Seahawk 400 and was hoping someone out there has one and what they think of it. Also, would it be ok for me to put my medium sized dog in it without worrying about puncture holes. Any other recommendations would be great.

Thanks everyone!

Josh.

no i have never owned one but i would assume a dog could ride in them because the material should be tough enough for a dog

Includes a grab line around boat
133" x 50" x19½" inflated size
4 Oar locks are electrostatically welded to boat

It looks like a great boat, but before I buy it (online), I'm wondering, if anyone owns this and knows the collapsable (or shipped) size. I can see deflated size online, but it doesn't tell me if it can be collapsed/folded further. A 118" x 53.5" seems like a lot to handle... We want to transport this in a toyota matrix, preferably not on the roof. Is this possible?

Yes, it will easily fit into a trunk of any size car. The box that the boat comes in is about 2' x 1.5' x 1'. Of course, that's when it's perfectly deflated and folded, so after you inflate it you'll never be able to fold it down that small again....I tried to fit mine back into the box but couldn't, so if I had to give an estimate on the size I'd say about 2.5' x 2' x 1.5'.

If I could compare it to some everyday object, I'd say it's about the size of large rolled up sleeping bag, maybe a little bigger. My friend easily fit his in the trunk of his old Corolla and new Sentra. I have an SUV so it's not an issue but it takes up no more than 1/4 the trunk space, below the seats. Definitely not something you'd have to haul on the roof unless it's fully inflated, which would defeat the purpose in the first place.

If I could recommend anything else for your boat, it would be an electric air pump. I don't use one because it doesn't bother me to pump it up with the manual pump it includes, but I know some people might get annoyed by it because it takes 5-10 minutes to pump it up in the three different chambers and can start to fatigue your arms a bit...so it's a personal preference but something to keep in mind.

Do you must wear a life jacket in an inflatable 4 person boat in Ontario, Canada?

The specific boat is the Intex Seahawk 400:

Hello, this is one of lifes questions where you as an individual make choices through experience, wish to eliminate risks and advice from others.

I suggest that when you are operating, working or playing in boats r there is a great chance that you may end up in the water and even if you are a strong swimmer a life jacket or buoyancy aid helps to support you whilst you still need to swim to get things sorted out.

My suggestion is that not only in Ontario, you should always wear some sort of personal flotation device when out paddling.

I hope this helps you make the correct choice.

I have an intex seahawk 400 inflatable dinghy. this is a non powered boat and i want to know if i have to insure it for 3rd party cover if i use it on uk rivers?

Contemplate personal accident insurance - especially if a cruiser coming around a bend too fast doesn't see you !

Dinghy travels less than 10 knots, does not require registraton...and extremely unlikely you will damage another vessel...ie 3rd party is overkill.

Spend the $$ on a fluorescent orange top and a a good torch if you are planning to travel after dark - much better and safer if everyone can see you...
