You can add a 1 in spacer between seat swivel and pedestal and the seat will clear the Minnkota battery box Can also cut a garden kneeling pad to fit the space at the end of the wood platform and the cross piece in front

MY boat came with a leaking rear bladder They told me oh just patch it even though there is no way to get at the rear bladder nice boat if it did not leak but Sea Eagle flat out sucks !😡

The rule of thumb; If it does not have a built in transom it is a raft, not a boat! Sorry guys

What happens when the trolling motor inevitably hits the boat? If it can happen, it will in time Will it puncture it?

approximate speed with the Minnkota?

I have a white one, which is previous version I caught countless crappie in spring with this boat It's fast to setup, super stable and comfortable as you can stand up while fishing It's easy to paddling I'm very satisfied with this boat

What’s the dimension of the piece of wood you cut to fill in the front

I only have a Honda accord would I be able to take this thing apart to fit back into my car trunk after I’m done fishing??

Amazing how stable it is on land

I'd replace that seat with a cooler and a cushion Might add an 8 " plywood deck in the front for a depth finder Might consider a Honda 23 for power

Nice review You clarified and explained several of my questions I have purchased two boats from Sea Eagle I must say the people that work there are all about a fine product and customer serviceGot a busted part? Its replacement will be on your porch in 2 daysThey take care of their customers I am on my way to buy a 285 now Thanks

Thought I'd share a tip the front flap at the front grab handles the flap on my boat Sat a little low because of the bend I attached a large clip to it and clips to the front storage pouch keeps the flap high secure and straight and greatly reduces water getting in especially when getting on and out have mine now 8 years great tough boat

I fish in the ocean sometimes half mile off shore Do you think it could handle it?

Sweet boat I just ordered the Sea Eagle 285 pro edition I have a question I hope you'll be so kind to answer The sea eagle website says the carry bag that everything comes in is 85" long x 63" wide carry bag That seems massive to carry a deflated boat, oars, flooring and accessories Is the carry bag really that long and wide, or is the dimensions a missprint on their website for the carry bag?

What do you use for a battery
Comment from : @redbone9952

How much does it cost? Does the battery pack come with the 285 kit? Does a trolling motor come with the assembly or is that separate? Gr8 Review, thanx 4 your input! Ciao

I appreciate the nice job on your review After researching inflatable fishing boats, I thought the Sea Eagle Foldcat (the big brother to the 285 I guess) would be a nice safe easily transportable boat and safe for wife or granddaughter When I found a used one for less than half of the new price I just jumped on it and bought it I have not put it on the water yet and after one-man wrestling with getting it home, setting it up in the yard, and repacking the 125 lbs or so, I'm less enthused Nearing 70 years old, something half the weight for casual bank fishing seems like maybe a better choice for me I'll try the FoldCat on the water before changing course but the 285 seems to be about 1/2 the size and weight and may better fit my needs
