No Boat? No Problem – This One’s Inflatable And Fits 6 People

I've never wanted a boat until now.

Behold, it's 2020, and we have inflatable everything. Inflatable kayaks, cup holders, giant poop floaties...

...yes, that's ours.

And NOW, we have full-size inflatable boats! What a world!

An inflatable bench seat provides comfortable seating for plenty of friends to hang out.

AJ just bought an inflatable kayak and says that it doesn't take a long time to inflate; it's actually faster with a hand-pump than a battery-powered or electric pump. I'm curious to see how long THIS bad boy takes to inflate.

It's priced at $499.99. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, here's an option:
