Hi there!
First post on the forums
Looking for some info - I recently got a Stansport Kenai "river boat", which is an 11' inflatable raft looking very much like a Sea Eagle. Here's the link to the product web page: http://www.stansport.com/v2/product.php?product_id=923.
The boat specs list exactly the same materials as used on Sea Eagle 9 and the layout of the molded attachment points looks very similar as well. In fact when I called the manufacturer to ask about the motor mount (boat is rated up to 4hp gas or 75lbs electric), I was told to buy a Sea Eagle mount. The air chambers are different thou, because Sea Eagle motormount boats have the third main air chamber in the back, where as Stansport has only two main chambers (+2 in the floor).
Took it out on the water last week with my wife and 2 kids, and it was very stable. The tubes felt solid, far better than on my cheap Intex Seahawk 200 that we used for the last 4-5 years($14.95 @Winners!). Definitely enough space for the 4 of us and I can sit on the side tube without the boat feeling tippy at all. Without the motor mount / floor boards I was able to relatively easily carry it from my camp site to the water - about 1/3 of a mile which was a big plus, because there was no space to set up by the lake.
I have the sea eagle motor mount on order and I'm planning to build a wooden floor and maybe a couple of benches.
I'm curious if anyone has used one of these and if you have any opinions about them. Not much info about this brand on the net. I got it on sale for about $120. I think sears used to sell them at some point. I'm hoping it will serve us well for fishing and putting around some lakes.
Here are some pics of the Stansport:
