That's just a rubber bumper around the edge, there's no bladders.
Here's my initial impressions of this boat, I'll try to leave out the tech details that you can look up on their webpage.
I wanted a frameless craft small enough to fit into the back of my small bed pickup, fully inflated. This fits between the wheel wells to a point, then I have to tip up the stern to close the tailgate, which is fine with me.
The inflatable seating was very comfortable. I felt I could fish all day (which I did) and my back would be fine (it was). I could sit all the way back in the seat for lumbar support and still have my legs in proper position for kicking. On other boats I own, I have to scootch forward to do this and my lower back gets sore. I'm 5'8" for what it's worth.
The aluminum bar that holds the stripping basket was a game-changer, I found it easy to net fish right in front of it, then I could lean my elbows on it to remove the hook without fear of falling off the seat.
The boat feels rigid and stable. The instructions say to pump the hull (2 chambers) to 3.0 PSI, but I got it up to about 0.5 PSI and the hull felt tight as a drum (I stopped there, need to research this more). There's a separate inflatable floor that adds to this.
There's a lot of room behind the seat for all my extra gear (2 small coolers and a net, probably a bit more). However, there's a mesh cover that snaps over this area that I didn't find useful. There's also no self-bailing holes.
There's no saddlebags on the pontoons. A small equipment bag is provided that attaches to the inner hull with a Velcro wrap. It's enough to store minimal fishing essentials, however, it felt overstuffed when I put my extra pair of glasses in there. Thus the 2nd cooler behind the seat for raincoat, glasses, eyeglass cleaner, etc.
Setup was easy, except that I struggled with the provided pump. But I've never met a pump that I liked. I'll figure out how to make this work with my Ryobi inflator. The YouTube video setup instructions, which you access via a QR code, are for the Flycraft Recon, which is just the raft version of this boat. I haven't checked out the care and maintenance documentation yet (also available via QR code).
Two Scotty mounts built-in, which is a luxury I've never had before. Used the provided rod holder for one. Packing straps and a snapback trucker hat also included. I'm picky about my hats, I like this one.
