old sea eagle inflatable

[covecrawler]

Hi all, I just bought a 1987 sea eagle 11.6ft inflatable that has been in storage for about ten years. It holds air fine and I have taken it fishing, but i read on this forum somewhere that old inflatables might have problems. Just wondering if anyone has one this old and what to look out for. Thanks.

Hey Mike, welcome to the forum ..... inflatables only have a certain lifespan, if it was sitting in storage you would have a good couple of years left, the first problems is the transom seams coming loose ......
