Swordfish 10.8′ Inflatable Fishing Boat | EVA Teak Deck Air Floor

I like it. Used it on a fishing trip in Alaska. It fit in my plane (Maule M7) which was definitely a benefit. I landed on a river bar, inflated the boat, hooked up an 8hp motor on it and went down river to a better fishing spot. Made it possible to catch more fish that day.

I haven't used it yet- but just unpacked it yesterday and it looks amazing

Great quality and fast shipping. Using it with a 15hp Suzuki and it is stable and fast.

We really like the boat. Construction and welded seams were why we purchased it. Solid Al floor is great for dive gear and sharps. Capacity is excellent. We had six large adults in this dinghy and still had huge freeboard due to oversized tubes. Seat bag is really nice also with bottle holder nets for afternoon cruises through anchorage. Find a cover to fit is challenge. Suggest SB sell covers to fit there boats. It’s heavy but we never deflate or put onboard. Stays on float and we tow behind. We have had three previous PVC dinghies that last about 7-8 years before seams break down being covered except for use. We paid more for this and will see how long it lasts. All in all our boat partners and I are extremely impressed with this inflatable.

I spent weeks researching inflatable boats capable of using a gas motor for propulsion chose Inflatable Sport boats/ Swordfish model with an inflatable floor. I go camping and fishing in the high mountain lakes of Oregon twice a year. I have a tow behind RV, So I leave my jet boat at home when I go. The Swordfish 10.8 is a perfect fit for this application. I purchased a Yamaha 2.5 outboard for the boat, and it is amazing for short and long distances. I have had the boat in windy conditions as well as 3-4 foot swells and it handles flawlessly. The Swordfish exceeded my expectations. A great quality built Inflatable and enjoyable to be on the water in. I dealt with Ashley Taylor as my sales representative. She was fantastic to work with. Ashley provided a level of service beyond my expectations. This is a great product, I highly recommend it to anyone purchasing an inflatable motor boat.

A very nicely constructed inflatable boat. Great customer support and Eric was awesome answering all my questions and helping with the ordering process.

Like another reviewer, I, too, spent quite a bit of time researching inflatables. I was looking for something that my wife and I could use along with our lab to go fishing and just enjoy a day out on the water. I am happy to say the Swordfish was the right choice! The main attraction to this inflatable for me was the quality and weight. I needed a boat that my wife and I could lift into the back of our SUV.

After only a couple outings, I can set this up in about 20 min. That includes filling it with air, connecting the transom wheels and putting a 6hp outboard on it. Folding it away takes a little less time. I use a makita hand held blower to get most it of it full and top off with the foot pump. I wanted the 2nd bench seat, which I got but don't really use. Eric (the owner) suggested I didn't need it, I should have listened to him. I sit on the side tube next to the motor and guide it along.

It's rated for 15hp but I use a 6hp. I wanted something I could easily lift and the 6hp is just right. All in all, this is a great boat, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality inflatable.

A quality inflatable boat requires a significant cash outlay! I spent a great deal of time researching inflatables. After much of what my wife calls "overthinking", I purchased a 10.8 foot Swordfish from Inflatable Sports Boats, headquartered in Roseville, California.

Purchasing a quality inflatable requires a significant cash outlay. I was looking for a company with a proven track record: Inflatable Sports Boats is headed toward their 15th year of service. I wanted quality materials and design: They use state of the art materials and all seams are heat bounded. Their design is low drag, quick to plane, and engineered for safety. Beyond this, their customer service reflected pride in what they make and a willingness to go above and beyond to help me make an informed choice. My contact was Eric Brown, and I can honestly say the level of service he provided exceeded anything I've experienced. Compare materials, compare design, compare warranties, and then give Eric a call!

Dear Sir, I just wanted to tell you how much fun and enjoyment my family and I have had with our new Swordfish Inflatable boat. We have a beach-house on the Puget Sound where the boat is used. We have been going on site seeing tours, putting out 2 crab pots( we even got some crab fo dinner), playing around the bay, visiting a group of seals. My 13y/o grandson is fully capable of running the boat with a 6 hp outboard motor. This motor is very adequate in propelling the boat even with 3 adults and 2 kids. We were out in some heavy winds and chop in the water but the boat handled it well. We have to drag the boat over a short stretch of rough shoreline to get it back to base. I have detected no flaws on the undersurface of the boat. The blow up air floor is an added bonus.

Overall you can say you have a very happy customer. Harry Shriver
