Hi,
I'm new to inflatable boats - and boats in general. So I was hoping for some opinions and advice.

I'm thinking of getting either the Excursion 4 or the Excursion 5 from Intex. I was wondering how these inflatable boats handle. Neither comes with a skeg, and I was wondering how difficult it'll be to row across a lake.

I just want to get together with 2 or 3 other friends and hang out on the lake. Not necessarily row for miles, but it'll be nice to have something stable and can still maneuver.

What are you experiences with inflatable boats?

Do inflatable canoes work better than inflatable boats? I considered canoes, but they're not very big...

Thanks!
