I owned a Sea Eagle 9 about 20 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn. Due to the limitations in storage space it was the only way I could have a boat of any kind. It did the job but it was kind of annoying to set it up and everything. I used the foot operated pump because I was told the electric pumps were not very good and would actually take longer to fill the boat up. I used an electric trolling motor with it.

Once I moved out of the city I got a canoe and never used the Sea Eagle again. For someone with limited space, the Sea Eagle is a good way to go. Don't even think about getting it without the wooden floorboards.
