it is easy to assemble. For carrying inflated suitable only for short distances, inflated easy to transport. Driving the boat is a lot of fun, it's enough for two people to stretch out space to the feet. However, we had to complain about, unfortunately, after three times driving that the glued parts of the air pressure gauge and two attachments of the seats took turns the sticker. The complaint at Amazon but worked flawlessly and we will get a new and hopefully not soon objectionable boat. If it were not for him, I could recommend the boat for paddling layman it's great fun.
