The Hull
Sea Eagle’s inflatables are renowned for their rugged construction, and there’s nothing you can throw at this boat that it can’t shrug off. The proprietary material they use to build these boats is simply superior tech, and try as you might, you won’t puncture or cut the Stealth Stalker.
Go ahead – land it on a rocky beach, slam it into a stump, or ram a sharp rock. Nothing’s going to happen.
The Stealth Stalker’s stability is excellent, making it perfect for sight fishing.
The Stealth Stalker 10 deflates to just 2.6’ x 2’ x 1’, allowing it to fit in the trunk of any car or the back of your SUV. And at that size, you can store it in a closet!
That’s simply amazing convenience, something no Pond Prowler can match.
Seating options
Two wooden floorboards provide a firm deck and hold mounting brackets for the chairs. Just slide the chairs into place and they lock firmly to the base.
Of course, long anglers can choose to attach only the rear chair, providing plenty of space for tackle and a cooler, or leaving plenty of empty deck to stand, cast, and fight.
The chairs are 360-degree swivel designs, providing all-day comfort and plenty of back support.
Whether you choose to fish alone or with a friend, the balance and trim of the Stealth Stalker won’t be affected, and stability is always excellent.
Engine options
Sea Eagle’s Stealth Stalker 10 can be rowed, but I’d strongly recommend a motor.
Designed to accommodate a small outboard (up to 4 hp), you’ll scoot effortlessly across larger lakes. And with a powerful trolling motor on the stern instead, you’ll really up the ante on stealth.
Either option works well.
How does it fish?
For anglers who don’t own or want a trailered boat, Sea Eagle’s Stealth Stalker is pretty much perfect.
