Not great
Cylindrical cords attached to the transom end of the floor that are supposed to secure it to square channels mounted to the transom are too small and don’t come close to staying in place. Big emphasis on how important proper inflation pressure is but no pressure gauge is included or recommended by Defender. Two different types of valve fittings are needed for foot pump for reasons unknown. No D-rings or other lift points for davits at stern. I looked but found no accessories such as glue-on color-matching D-rings, compatible pressure gauge, bow gear-cover and had to take my best guess. No manual was included. Called Defender, asked for manual, was told I would be sent one. Nope.
