[quote lovetofish]Do any of you use or could reccomend a 12v air pump. I just purchased a SeaEagle 285 frameless pontoon boat. I will inflate it a home and haul it around in the back of my pickup. But it is suppose to be able to inflate and set up in 5 minutes. It comes with a foot pump. However, I'd like to take a electric pump with me rather than use the foot pump. Thanks.

I also have an airhead pump like TD, and it has held up well. But I don't use it much, because I keep my tubes/toons inflated in the garage and transport them that way- top them off at destination with a hand pump. Look for a long cord if you will be using 12v power from a vehicle. Just a note that airhead/sevlor/etc. dial guages I tried don't give correct readings after a few time of use. There are some pumps that only go to about 2-2.8 PSI that are handy because you don't have to top off by hand pump. Also some pumps which have an adjustable pressure setting anywhere up to 10 PSI where they stop automatically.
For travel or pack in set up, I have a homemade light weight high volume pump and small battery under 2# total which will quickly inflate a float tube on location. I top off by inflating with a mouth tube to 2 PSI.
Hope this helps.
