I have the 330 model with air floor and inflatable keel. 15 horse Evinrude handels it fine. I saw quite a few of them running around at the Cloumbus Day Regatta weekend. It serves my purpose. As with any PVC boat the sun is the worst enemy,so keep it covered or inside if you can. For the price I figure I can buy Three of them for the name brand ones.
Compare the 96" boats. The Hypalon Achilles LEX 96 will cost you $350 more at a discount price than the similar Saturn SD290. Very solid construction on the Achilles and great oarlocks.
I have one and I'm happy for the money. I'm also starting to see a few more in the marina. This summer will be my 3rd year with a 290 and a 5 hp. I got a cheap cover from boatcovers.com and keep it on my bow, upside down and covered when I'm not using it.
