I'm considering picking up a used inflatable, preferably an i9. Never having had one before, can others offer advice what to look for? Problems areas, etc. I'm familiar with Mirage drives, so I know how to give those the once over. I'm asking specifically to inflatables.

Thanks!

Check all seams and ask about the previous owner's storage methods. If he/she stored it inflated over the course of the kayak's life, and/or in hot conditions - you may want to keep shopping for somebody who's taken better care of theirs.
