This boat as advertised is very easy to carry and assemble. I was able to set it up in about 30 minutes, slightly higher since I was doing it for the first time. It's advertised to be good for three people, however, I had to slightly bend my knees to get in, when I went with my wife. However, you get used to that. Although it feels really comfortable in water, it's difficult to keep it in straight line if you are trying to go fast. All in all it's a good buy if you own a small car like me. *By submitting a review, each employee received a sweepstakes entry*
