Let's face it, if you're going to buy toys, you're going to need the room to store them and transport them. Not everyone has a man cave or garage nor does everyone drive a pick up truck. An inflatable is ideal for the fisherman that lives in an apartment or the traveler that wants to expand their water access for fishing.

I owned an i9s inflatable for several months. I only got rid of it because I wasn't using it as much as I was my Hobie Pro Anglers. I shipped it to Florida for a three week vacation and it was nice to have access on the water instead of fishing from the beach. The unit packs up (with some precise folding) into portable piece of luggage with wheels. I never took it on the airline as checked luggage but from what I read you can check it as a piece of luggage for your next vacation. An over all great inflatable that gets 4 stars because of the MirageDrive pedal system.

Love my Pro Angler 14 so much that I bought two. These are a stable kayak/boat hybrid. Plenty of storage and great mounting boards to affix fish finders, rod holders, etc. I have fished fresh water lakes, bays and even the ocean for halibut out of this kayak. It's a bit heavy for transport so a pick up truck or a trailer might save your back for transport. I'm 275lb and have no problem doing 15 miles a day on this personal watercraft.
