The boat goes well under a 55lb Newport trolling motor (100Ah LiFePO4 battery is a must) - about 4 mph. I also put a 12 hp gas outboard on it (short shaft two-stroke Hangkai) - it goes on plane easily and rides well at about 15 mph. I'd guess 10-18 hp is the right size motor for it, I would stay away from smaller engines.
Overall, a season of fun lake boating and big kudos to Newport and Hangkai for their quality products.

I bought this boat last December and have been waiting to use it. Finally got it out last weekend. It's a great boat. Really nice looking and it seems well made. The material seems quite sturdy and well assembled, time will tell if the materials hold up. I once had a Sea Eagle SE9 and there is no comparison between the two. The Sea Eagle took forever to inflate even with an electric pump. It didn't hold up very well either developing slows throughout the hull. Compare prices, there's no comparison.
I bought an electric pump for this boat but was really surprised how quickly it inflated, even with the foot pump. It literally took 90 seconds per bladder to inflate to about 75%. Put in the floorboards, a little tricky but watch some videos on Youtube and they will go together pretty quickly. It took an additional 60 seconds per bladder to fully inflate the boat. The keel inflates in about 30 seconds. Total time from the trunk to the water was about 20 minutes, but that includes mounting the motor, wheeling it to the water with my homemade dolly, and putting all our tackle in the boat. I expect to get faster with use. I have a small hatchback and I put the boat, motor, battery and all tackle and equipment in the back of the hatchback. It's pretty cool to be able to take so much in a small space.
We have a 30 lbs trolling motor but I will be buying an outboard later this year. The trolling motor pushed it along with no problem. It was a little tight with two of us in it but I plan on not bringing the large cooler the next time and expect to have plenty of room for two to fish out of it. I'm a big boy at 6'2" and 275 lbs. Really looking forward to taking it out by myself, There will be plenty of room for me and any fishing tackle imaginable. Downside - it blows around a bit in the wind. This is common for most inflatables so it's not really an issue of this boat specifically. Bring an anchor.
One of the things I hated about the Sea Eagle was the pain in the back I got from sitting on the low seats in the boat. This boat has larger tubes and this raises the seating position to nearly a normal height. This might seem like a small issue but spend 4 or 5 hours in the boat fishing and this will be an advantage over other boats. In studying this I don't know of any other manufacturer which has tubes this large. I expect the larger tubes will also be helpful once at speed on plane. Standing in the boat wasn't even an issue, another reason to forgo the kayak.
This is a real boat with all the advantages you'd have from any boat with the exception of needing to inflate it before use. A downside to an inflatable is what you gain in portability and space you lose in convenience. For me it was the right compromise.
If you follow the 25% inflate rule while assembling and installing the floor, the build process is actually a breeze (inflate all chambers to 25% except keel, align and install floor, install stringers, make sure alignment is on point, finish filling all chambers then fill keel). This takes a majority of the aggravation out of the equation. It still takes some muscle to hold the tubes back and to maneuver the floor boards in place, keep that in mind.
Things I don't like? A few... There should be handles in the front of the boat, 1 on either side, to aid maneuvering the boat at shore and when a wheel kit is attached. I wrote CS regarding purchasing a set and they don't have them 😑. It's also not super easy to keep clean being white, it takes a bit of effort to keep it looking fresh. I'd like the seat mounts to be longer fore and aft to allow more customized placement of the benches. A better bailer would be nice. Finally, a set of d-rings or a built in strap on floor panel #5 would be great to secure a gas tank.
In the end we are please with our purchase. We're super happy with the quality of our Catalina. We'd definitely consider Newport in the future and we'd most certainly recommend them to friends and family.
