would you recommend this for a guy on a ship?

Yes, it is a great way to learn using a sextant. There are better ones on the market, but nothing better at that price.

I've never used it on a calm sea but I have used it in some minor rapids and it held up very well. I will say the oars that are included are pretty flimsy so you might want to invest in some aluminum ones or just higher quality ones in general. Its an excellent little fishing boat.

Depends on how much junk you have in the boat... and how far you're going to haul it. Big motor..? I wouldn't do it, since the weight would hang quite a bit back on the load. The trailer is stout enough, but I'd be sensible about how much it could handle.

I believe it would be fine! I use it on cruise ships to hold a multiple of things. They are also quite strong!

No. Get a short shaft engine and use a 4 blade prop for such a short boat, or a double-cupped stainless prop. I ran a 60 on my 13 foot Whaler with the SS double-cupped prop and it was great. A long shaft motor will just not be lifted high enough, unless you mount the mini jacker top edge above the transom edge which not only looks crappy it is less secure, and if you even hydraulically jack plated it you'd make the rig less stable raising the weight in the rear that high. Remember an 11 ft. boat going about 20+ is not very stable to begin with. Wrong approach in my opinion--sorry. And I'm a bit of a daredevil in some things. Good luck.

It's awesome for just that. If you're a dude, be careful around the sensitive areas. *hint hint*

I'm sure the boat would be fine, but the oars are another issue. They are cheaply made so I would be sure to get longer/better quality oars for the trip. Have fun!

yes pretty fun little boat,when you are done playing with it. just always leave the top off,and upside after playing,to let it dry out!careful with little antenna tube it is fragile !charge the battery using a timer,to avoid burning it up! set timer to about hour and a half!

Yes, the expedition should have plenty of room for you. Be sure to sleep on a diagonal!

Yes, it is very well designed. To step on and break this light, it would have to be a very heavy set person wearing a hard sole shoe. With bare feet or soft sole shoes, to break this light, they'd have to be so large that I doubt they'd be venturing out to an area on your boat that you would mount it.I mounted it on the side of my boat so I can't speak from experience but it is very solidly built.

It is sturdy and stable in the water as iths a flat bottom, but standing up in to climb into another craft would pose problems. You can kneel in the boatand conceivably do so reaching out and up to hold on to the edge(gunnals?) of the boat along side,but difference in height might mean you would need helping hands. Once leanin or sittingon the side of the intex,it will quicky want to tilt. it isn't a true dinghy.

I assume that you are asking if this would be appropriate for men and the answer is yes. My husband and I both used this product while traveling and there were no issues. It has a very fresh smell and is not highly scented.

Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10. Most of all, I feel safe in it. Stable. Doesn't rock easily. Takes waves well. Large, comfortable cockpit. No cramped feel. roomy. My seat is not particularly comfortable, however, bought an inexpensive padded seat at TJMax, like one you would take to a football game. Did the trick! I don't think kayaks are the best boat for fishing, despite the advertising hype. Canoes are far better in my opinion. I fished from the Vapor 10 once. I.m glad I didn't catch anything. Don't know how I would manuever with a fish on the line. Overall, a very good recreational kayak which I recommend. Hope this helps. Allan Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10.

You're welcome. I love this unit. It makes boating all day doable with thw ladies on board.

I haven't used this on a boat, but I can tell you it has substantial sound. Theirs 2 speakers up front and what seems like a mini sub on the top. You might want something bigger though if your wanting it to entertain the whole boat. If its mounted next to the helm for your entertainment, it would be good.

The Quest should work fine. It'll be very large but shouldn't be a problem for him. The board is extremely sturdy and won't get dinged up from regular use. I got the board for my 13yr. old daughter, she's tiny (84lbs), and has no problems with it. My 11yr old son also uses the board and loves it. I ride it and it's very smooth and maneuverable. To give the board a little more maneuverability I would suggest loosening the trucks a bit, they come from the factory very tight. I researched longboards extensively before Christmas and found that the Quest was one of the top five cruisers available. I understand why after making the purchase. I also saved big bucks compared to the other boards. This isn't really a beginner board per se. It's great for beginners but it's also a great long term board. If I can be of further assistance just let me know.
