Default Tropical Tahiti Floating Island

Has anyone used one of these? Saw them at Sam's Club. Looks pretty fun but kinda want to know if it seems durable. I noticed the photos show adults on the inflatable...

    My cousin had one that I was on about 4 years ago and I actually remember thinking it felt pretty durable for the price. If you get a couple years out of it for that price it'll be worth it. It's cool to have something floating for people to gather on/around and this price beats the heck out of the $500-700 for an Aqua Lily Pad.

    Will it fit in the ski locker or under engine cover? Is it easy to inflate and deflate? Have wanted one but not sure about hauling it around.

    I don't think it's something you can easily move around...

    I keep mine in the travel trailer, inflate it when I get to the lake, then I take it off the bank a little way and anchor it. It's defiantly not something I use unless I'm going to be at the lake for a few days!
