One more thing to consider too. You'll see quite a few knockoffs. Made to look the same, but with much lesser material. So, when you think you're getting a deal, you're buying a lesser boat. So if you go with a knockoff, just remember you're getting probably 1/4 of the boat. Like the xstreams, badcats, and don hills. All have between 1200-2200 denier. The skookums are made with 5500 denier. A much tougher boat, plus his tubes are made locally here in Woodinville instead of in China like the knockoffs (though they like to claim they're all made in same factory). Something to consider.
