My experience with these things is they end up with lots of patches, then get tossed.


How sensitive were they, and do you remember what brand/model they were? If you mean after a couple summers of extensive use they get tossed then I'd be fine with that, but if you mean after a few uses they get tossed, then I definitely want to stay away.

Just watched a video on the Mariner 4 ( mariner 4 video) which said it's constructed like a white water raft - polyester layer is in between 2 extra think vinyl layers. It comes with a rock guard that goes all around it.

While I'm sure it is still susceptible to punctures, I think these were made to handle moderately rough conditions and with fishing in mind - although I realize that's just their marketing and in actuality they could be pieces of crap.
