What's everyone running?
I just picked up this one and inflated it last night and it's pretty legit. Solid as a rock at 3psi, I didn't feel the need to go higher.
Quality looks great, no regrets on the purchase.

$439 shipped Prime is pretty hard to beat when the mission and others are around 600+
Just throwing it out there in case anyone is looking.

I got that one in the 6x5 last year. Thought my pup would like it on the days we're just floating with friends. She didn't like it, moves around too much for her.

I'm holding out hope that at some point someone gunned the jetski and she went flopping off the back like a wounded duck.

At the Knoxville Boat show last year I picked up a 15' x 5' HO Play Pad from the local Nautique dealer. They had this bean-bag toss game going on to save you a % off. I scored a big savings. I got one dropped-shipped to the house for $450-500.

Kids love it. But if I had to buy another I would not get one that big. It's huge. It fits in the back locker, but dang, what a pain in the butt to fold-up when everyone is ready to leave the cove. The 10' one would be perfect.

Bring some Dawn soap on the boat.

Yeah I got the 5x8 and it's plenty big I bet the 5x15 is a bear to fold up!

We use the WOW inflatable mat from Amazon and they are great. They inflate quickly and deflate quickly and if your other buddies have them they zip together so you can zip 2, 3 or more together. They also fold up small enough that you can put them in the rear lockers or underneath the bow filler cushion.

Are they like a hard surface or more of an inflatable?

The Wow ones are more of an inflatable feel, the mission, solstice linked above etc are more of a hard solid feel.

Exactly what Sonic said, more inflatable, but you can stand, sit, lay on them.

I had been looking at these for when we camp at our lake. I read a number of reviews that said it was built stronger than the Mission, and had more, and stronger, D rings on it.

I look at it like a portable dock. The cove we anchor in is rocky when the water is low. With this, we could anchor out in a little deeper water and not have to risk dinging the prop in the rocks when we pull the boat in to board.

Plus, people can wash the mud off their feet and not track it into the boat. Nothing will dirty a boat more than tannin saturated soil.

I have done this on Norris for a week.

Daughters wanted the unicorn instead of the flamingo. Sam's Club 2018 they even have built in coolers.

Built in cooler? I'm sold. Everyone will know where the party is at haha

How was the quality? stop using it from the hassle of a massive float or it pop after the first day?

How often do you get to Norris?

Only get to Norris once a year...it is the extended fam vacation.
Since we just picked up our Mojo that may increase.

The quality is actually good. The house we rented had a 2 boat dock so we left it inflated the whole week in the dock. Just extended the rope and let it float in the cove when we were swimming.
It is rolled up in the original box in my garage. Our air matress pump made quick work of inflating and deflating.

I threatened to get a buddy one of these for his birthday.
He threatened to stab me in the neck with a knife.
