Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Used the Tahiti Classic for fishing in an ocean bay in TX. Only used it for 2 hours before drifting into an unseen rock and tearing 2 11" gashes in the bottom. The boat continued to float as the sides stayed inflated (seperate compartments). Do not recommend anywhere there are rocks or possibility of puncture. Also a skeg is a must in any flat waters. Very hard to keep straight. Probably ok for grassy lakes or where there is sand. Ok for the price, but you get what you pay for.

Watch out for windage as for all inflatables.
