tahiti clasic
I bought a tahiti clasic at Dicks at the end of the season for 50% off ( $60) We use it at the beach where my kids love to ride the surf in it. It's well made and holds up to alot of abuse. My only complaint is that several years ago (like 15) I bought a Tahiti view, basically the same boat with a clear bottom, that has been a great boat and given us years of fun. But the valve to inflate the older boat is so much better than the newer boat. It is a two part screw on valve rather than the plug in on the newer model. I asume it was a cost saving but you really were penney wise and pound follish to change the valve system.

Bought mine for $30 on ebay- love the thing!
Have paddled it in canals around NYC, once in the Hudson (a little bit of a stretch.) and used it as a tender for my sailboat. It is a useless pool toy without the skeg, and great with it. Don't buy it without the $12 skeg! Takes about 15minutes to blow up, and small enough to carry on a bicycle. (if that's about all you're carrying.) It's a cheap boat, but great for urban dwellers on a budget. I've used it with 2 adults + 2 med. sized dogs on board. It's not an ocean kayak, but it's great for lakes, creeks, and sheltered water.

Fun kayak
We have owned the Tahiti model for about ten years now and has shown to be tough and no leaks. Inflates in 5 minutes with a foot pump and deflates in two minutes. Does not track very well without a fin. It is a dependable inflatable kayak. Highly recomended
