Very nice inflatable boar. BUT, it has no lifting points. You need to install your own.

Gets up on a plane with a 9.9 Yamaha with my wife and I onboard. Very Solid. Not as difficult to assemble as other inflatables I have owned, you just need to get the hang of it. I've owned a Zoom by Zodiac in the past and I prefer this one for sure. I would buy it again. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought the boat one year ago (7-2023) and used it for 2 weeks. I seemed to be a good dingey although it came with no instructions. The BRIS is a copy of the Japanese dingy brand Achilles. I bought the boat one year ago and used it for 2 weeks. I seemed to be a good dingey although it came with no assembly instructions. I just brought it out of storage to use a year later, it was stored properly but there are numerous leaks in the pontoons. The achilles I had previously for 10 years never had a leak. Now I am heading to get patches and going to spend a bunch of time to see if it is repairable.

I liked the customer service response. In order to register the vessel in Arizona, I had to have several documents beyond the MSO. At firest I was a frustrated because it was difficult to contact the seller; however, I located an email address on the MSO and sent the seller a note asking for a Bill of Sale that included the HIN. I was prepared to be ignored, but I received the document, with everything I needed, the next day via email. That's really good customer service.I had heard that others had difficulty assembling the boat. Don't know why, it was a piece of cake. Also, the forward floorboard, which is wood, was damaged. The seller refunded me 50 bucks and said a new floorboard will be shipped from China, and should arrive within 60 days. Again, pretty good customer service.The boat appears to be well made and should serve us well. Good Job Bias!

Had it for around 3 months and absolutely love it. Have taken it out around 10-15 times. It’s very sturdy and a solid build. There is a way to assemble it which needs a few tries to figure out, but afterwards it’s not too bad. Would also recommend getting an electric pump to fill it up faster.I put a 5 hp outboard on it and was able to plane easily with one person while sitting closer to the bow. With two people barely planed with lot of weight adjustment. With a bigger outboard should be able to plane, no problem

The tender 3.1 m is sturdy and appears to be a good buy at the price. The thing I dislike is the recommendation of motors. I bought a new 9.9hp 4 stroke which is the maximum. It is simply too heavy for the transom weighing 40kg. No way could you safely travel on a road towing this weight as it could tear the fabric away from the transom. Suggest a 6 hp. to possibly 8hp. and lifting a 9.9hp into a vehicle isn't the easiest thing whether you roll up the tender or not. (Traveling with the motor in a vehicle or using a trailer.) Get something lighter for boating safety with a small motor which is light weight for storage, travel and lifting, or using a trailer.

The wood flooring for the boat was for a longer size boat . Had to cut approximately 3 inches off one piece to make it fit. Not impressed!!!

This is a solid and sturdy dinghy that rides well and is easy to assemble (instructions are a bit vague, but the pictures help with floorboard and side support installation the first time). We had no problems with inflation or missing parts, and shipping was faster than expected. All around great experience, very pleased with purchase.

Bought this boat so i can go fishing in it and for its storing size. Takes about 28 minutes to fully assemble with the foot pump. I have it paired with a 55 lb thrust trolling motor with 24" shaft, gets about 4.5mph. It's very sturdy, i was able to stand in it and move around easily. It fits in the trunk of my sedan (01 Ford Taurus). I like it, it is much better than an inflatable kayak. Cost an additional $90 to get it registered in California.

We wanted a lightweight, easy to launch tender for a party boat and to traverse the canal where we live. With a 4 hp motor it is a great little boat. Practical and fun for the kids.

I would have given this a 5 star rating, except for a few issues. The material on the side and top of the tubes is a little thinner that my last boat. The instructions were poorly written (bad English) and generic to several boat types , especially with respect to the floor side braces. Once that was figured out, assembly was fairly easy. Bottom of boat has extra thick hard rubber, in case you hit anything, but except for a thin bumper band guard rail there is little protection on the side from sharp or grating things on a dock. Oars come apart for storage and the transom is more than adequate for my 2.5 hp gas motor. Handled well, in stiff breezes along the shore of Pamlico Sound (NC). Nice boat to fish from.
