Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for recreational boating or fishing on lakes and calm rivers, the Intex SeaHawk 400 boat set comes with everything you need to hit the water immediately. The inflatable boat--which fits up to four people--is made of super-tough 30-gauge PVC vinyl that resists damage from abrasion, impacts, and sunlight, letting you boat with confidence even near rocks or logs. The PVC is also unaffected by gasoline, oil, or saltwater, so you needn't take special precautions around a motor or near a saltwater inlet. Construction-wise, the boat includes two air chambers for safety, an inner hull chamber, an inflatable floor that's comfortable yet rigid, welded oarlocks, inflatable cushions, and an all-around grab line. The boat even sports two fishing rod holders at the rear--one on each side--so you can enjoy an afternoon angling with friends. Other features include a grab handle on the bow, oar holders, a gear pouch, and a U.S. Coast Guard ID. The SeaHawk 400--which comes with oars and an inflation pump--measures 133 by 19.5 by 50 inches (W x H x D) and holds up to 814 pounds. About Intex

Just what you need to get started July 16, 2010
Just Wants to Fish
I purchased this boat, and I'm all about it! It does come with everything listed: boat, 2 fishing rod holders (opposite ends of boat - very nice), pump, & two collapsable oars. Note - there is NO carying bag - so you either have to deflate it & put it back in the box (try putting a semi-wet boat back in cardboard, not fun), or figure out another solution. I had an old suitcase w/wheels that I wasn't using, works perfectly!
As for my rating on this guy, solid 4 stars! It blows up in minutes (i have an electric colman pump - must buy for this b/c it deflates as well) and you're out on the water in around 10min. The boat itself is bigger than I thought, and the material is really sturdy. Ok, sturdy as plastic can be, I wouldn't go jumping around on it...but i do feel quite safe in the water with it. It is large enough for 2 full grown adults (I'm 6-1) to get in, w/all your gear & a cooler, and not even touch each other.
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is for the oars. They're pretty solid, but are too short to use the oar holders & properly row the boat. I've ended up using one & working the boat like a canoe, which works pretty well...but can get tiring; maybe I just need more practice with them.
Overall, love the thing; I'm taking it back on the water tonight. I might say invest in a kayak paddle if you plan on rowing this; or purchase a small trolling motor & mount.
For the $$ you can't beat this!
 Great value for family river-rafting trip July 14, 2010
Sowbug (San Mateo, CA United States)
We just got back from a three-hour Truckee River rafting trip in this boat. All in all, we're very satisfied with this purchase, and we think you'll do as fine as we did with it on a Class I river.
We're a family of five: two adults, two youngsters ages 7 and 5, and a 14-month old toddler. We ordered an inner tube from Amazon along with the Seahawk to make sure there would be room for us all. Once it all arrived, it was clear that we'd all fit inside the boat along with a jug of water and a bag of snacks, so we left the tube at home. The 4-person rating is reasonable, though if you were thinking of taking four adults on a fishing trip with tackle boxes and a cooler, I wouldn't recommend it; it would soon get uncomfortable.
The river this morning was mostly Class A (requiring us to paddle a bit) or Class I, with a few sections of very easy whitewater that might barely qualify as Class II. At those points, we dragged ourselves over rocks once or twice, but I didn't feel that the vinyl threatened to rip open. Along the way, we encountered many rental rafts, which were closer in style to the RST Marine Navigator II 500 available on Amazon. I felt that we were well-prepared, and their rafts were overkill, for the class of river we were on. In other words, on a Class I river you won't feel embarrassed to be seen in this boat.
The oars are adequate. It is fortunate that they float. They're short, and the leverage isn't right for river rafting when they're in the oar locks. We ended up combining the two into a kayak-style paddle, which worked well enough. The gear pouch will stop splashes from the oars, but it's nowhere near watertight. Put your cell phone in a Ziploc bag, preferably with a chunk of styrofoam so it'll float. The boat comes with two inflatable cushions that look ridiculously inadequate, but they were actually nice to sit on.
On disembarking, the Boston valves made it easy to deflate the main two chambers, but as many other reviewers have noted, the floor has a pool-floatie-style valve that's cumbersome to deflate. We strongly recommend taking along a Coleman rechargeable QuickPump (again, with a suitable Ziploc bag enclosing it) to flatten the floor at your destination. Once all three chambers are emptied, you'll find that you can easily roll the boat into a 16-inch diameter, 25-inch length sleeping bag shape. Consider buying a duffel bag, too; unlike some Intex models, the Seahawk 400 doesn't include a bag. The deflated boat is light enough for an adult to carry a short distance.
One worry was that the Amazon pictures show the green 2008 model (880-pound capacity with motor mount support), but the description is of the blue 2007 814-pound model. We ordered directly from Amazon, not from a third-party seller, and did receive the newer model as expected.
All in all, a great value. Next mission: attaching a trolling motor and cruising along Lake Tahoe's west shore. :)
great boat July 12, 2010

This raft worked great for our float trip down the river! held two people with and ice chest and plenty of more room and it handles well also.
Excellent lake raft November 4, 2009

I bought two of these rafts and am very impressed after our first summer using them. When I began researching different rafts I was concerned about quality and durability. The first time I inflated this raft I was surprised at how thick the material is and how rigid it becomes when fully inflated. I was expecting something more like a pool toy or something. On the lakes we have in each raft 1 adult and 3 kids and they hold up perfectly. (see picture above)
The raft includes 2 collapsible oars (they screw together), two inflatable seats, a manual air pump (which is useless on a raft this size), a small gear bag, some rope, and two fishing pole holders that mount on opposite ends of the raft. Overall a very nice package.
Initially I was debating getting a heavier-duty raft, one called the SeaHawk II which is more expensive and is classified by Intex as a "marine boat". After looking on the Intex website I found the Seahawk 400 is made from 30 gauge material and the SeaHawk II is made from 26 gauge material. In addition the Seahawk 400 has more room and holds more weight. Given those facts and the lower price I decided on the Seahawk 400 set and I am very happy with the decision.
 Good product but check out the sealing before even pump it! November 1, 2009

So, it is a pretty good product: big enough for four people, really tough plastic, full of really useful gadgets (paddles & pump, plus some cords and pockets). Awesome, I'd say, if not that, when I was paddling on a river, the boat started to deflate...
The two parts of plastic which form the external tube - the most important - were not perfectly sealed, so the boat was rapidly deflating. Fortunately, it can float also with just two out of the three inflated, so I can go out the river without sinking. But, I swear, I'll never trust another of those products before checking meticulously the sealing all around the boat!
Fortunately Amazon is a serious seller, and so they refund me entirely. But, boy, my Sunday trip was gone...
