Comments about WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy:
We live on a small lake in Georgia and cannot have large boats. This is perfect for our lake. Since we can't leave it in the water overnight, it is light enough and easy enough to get in and out of the water (of course, requiring two people). So far, so good.
Pros
- Durable
- Stable/seaworthy
Cons
Best Uses
- Tender for cruising boat

I used to have this Boat in Vermont on Lake Champlain and am buying another one soon. I had a 5 hp Honda on it and it handled flawlessly. Great boat and can be found at a great price in the used market.
Pros

Cons

Comments about WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy:
I have one of these from 2003. Darn good little boat.
We primarily use it as a dinghy for our cruiser but we have used it in lakes and streams as well for fishing trips. Works just as nicely with an electric trolling motor as it does a gas powered engine, obviously, speed varies.
Don't think you could find anything more stable than this tender! I am also convinced that it is virtually sink-proof. After a few storms we have had it fill up with rain water within an inch from the top and it still remained afloat.
Pros
- Durable
- Performs well
- Stable/seaworthy
Cons
Best Uses
- Family use
Comments about WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy:
I have this boat for the past 6 years and it has been a great boat. I use it to travel to and from my cottage back to a public dock area. I have used it to transport building material as well. The boat is light enough to be place onto of a Caravan for transportation. I use a 3.5 HP motor and find it to be well balanced.
I would recommend in fact I would buy this again.
Pros

- Stores compactly
Cons
- No drain plug
Best Uses
- Angling

Comments about WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy:
Great boat. I have searched [@] But buying a boat sight unseen and with no lake to test float. You might have just purchased a anchor lol. West Marine is VERY helpful.Ordered on-line paid when went to pick up. Only took 1 week from time of order to arrival. Also your new boat comes with a Warranty. My wife and I load it in our truck with ease. We have had 3ppl in it, with a Gel Optima battery, Minn Kota 50lb thrust, poles, tackle box, seat pads, life vest, and still room for fish :)
Pros
- Durable
- Performs well
- Stable/seaworthy
Cons

Comments about WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy:
I recently purchased this boat for my 11 year old's birthday. He loves to fish so I was looking for a boat that was easy to handle, but most of all stable. We put an electric motor on it and it is everything I hoped for. The stability is great! My son loves his new boat and is very proud of it. It's the perfect boat for him. I enjoy going out with him also. If you are thinking about a stable boat in this category, I highly recommend it.
Pros
- Durable
- Looks nice
- Performs well
- Stable/seaworthy
- Stores compactly
Cons
- No bimini top
Best Uses
- Family use

I've had this boat for 1 year now... It's easy to pull out of the water and clean, but what matters is it's AMAZING!!!! I have an electric trolling motor with this boat and it glides smoothly. I definitley recommend this... Its worth it!
