[#0000FF]If you have a limited budget but still want to be able to enjoy the float and fish world then that Kenai should provide a decent ride for at least a couple of years of "average" use. It is comparable to a few other craft that sell for more but are really not worth more. In other words, a good buy for those who have not recently won the lottery and who have unlimited dollars to spend.
It is made in China, for the "price" market. The bladders are vinyl...not urethane...but they will hold up if you pay attention to not overinflating and proper storage when not in use.
The best part of the deal is that you can get to know the real issues of tubing and tooning and will be better able to make a more informed decision when and if your finances improve. Also, unless you trash your toy you can always recover a fair amount of the original investment when you are ready to upgrade and sell it to someone else who is where you are today.
Until recently, Classic has not been very reliable in warranty or backup. But I have heard more good stories lately.
Go for it. Enjoy it whenever you can. Just be sure that you don't do anything that will cause a problem for a craft with some shortcuts on quality.
