INTEX Excursion 4 Inflatable Boat Set: Includes Deluxe 54in Boat Oars and High-Output Pump Capacity

Very sturdy and has alot of room for your fishing gear and cooler and a couple more people. I'm very happy with it. Perfect for fishing!!

Well if you are reading this you are probably considering buying this boat. Great choice but before you purchase understand this is more than a $150 boat and it has some limitations.First and foremost it does not seat 5 people. It is more of a 2 to maybe 3 adults. 2 adults and a couple of kids would work pretty well.Second, trying to row this big boat is tough. You will want a trolling motor for this boat.Third, at least in North Dakota, if you put a trolling motor on any boat, including inflatables, it needs to be registered with game and fish and you have to follow boating laws. (If you dont put a motor on it you shouldnt have to register it)Fourth, this is an air boat, it works extremely well on little to no current. I havent tried it in a river with a current yet but i dont think i want to.Overall im very pleased with this boat. It seems to be tough as the vinyl is thicker than an air mattress. The fishing pole holders seem cheap and in dont think id trust my poles using them. The boat is very portable but is pretty heavy. Much easier to load and unload with 2 people. Also this boat is rated for 1300 pounds people and equipment weight. I have at least 800 pounds in my boat at all times and it floats great and moves pretty good (5 mphish) with the trolling motor.Alright, if you are still reading here are my suggestions of what you should buy with the purchase of this boat.1. Trolling motor mounting kit2. Trolling motor (i used a minn kota endura max 40 thrust). The boat is only rated to 30 thrust or 1.5 hp (33lbs max motor weight according to the box) but im pretty confident you could fit a bigger motor on this if you wanted to.3. Minn kota power center battery box. This box is great, it shows you battery life remaining and has spots for dc power so you can charge your phone and whatnot.4. A 29 series deep cycle battery. I used an everstart maxx 29 from walmart5. Minn kota portable battery charger. I like this charger because it has overcharge protection and is very lightweight and easy to use.6. A 4 pack of life vests. I bought the orange cheapos but they work fine just to be legal7. An air horn8. An anchor. I think mine is 3 or 5 lbs. Trust me you want an anchor as the boat floats away easily when you are trying to stay still.9. I bought a fire extinguisher. Not required by law but it makes me feel safer10. Bow and stearn light (green/red for bow and white for back). I found a set for inflatables on amazon and they are AA battery powered.11. An electric air pump. I bought a dc powered one so i can use the truck at the lake to power the pump and inflate the boat.12. Industrial strength outdoor velcro. Stuff kind of flops around in the boat. Velcro keeps stuff organized13. I would consider buying a couple large plastic bins to carry and store the boat14. Loctite! The bolts holding the motor mount seem to loosen on their own. Using some loctite should help that15. I am buying led light strips for my boat for better lighting at night16. Buy dock bumpers if you plan on landing this at a dock. You dont want sharp metal or wood puncturing it

As a complete newbie to boating, this is really an awesome boat/raft. I had a lot of doubts as the inflatable kayaks I’ve been on before have been really prone to currents and wind, but this boat is a behemoth. It’s simultaneously huge and spacious (took 2 friends, about 600 pounds total with 3 people total), extremely buoyant, easy to inflate and use, and not prone to winds or currents like other inflatables, really stable.I had hooked up a 55lbs thrust trolling motor and battery first time with no problems in about 10 minutes. For the price as well, $140 for a huge raft with really easy setup and deflation is exceptional. I would recommend the motor as the oars alone that come with it aren’t ideal for multiple people or against strong winds/currents. Overall I would highly highly recommend. This is probably the closest you can get to actual boating without breaking the bank or needing a truck for towing/parking space for the boat.

Bought this last summer and I love it!!!Me and my wife take it to the lake most weekends to fish or just for the exercise, and it's held up very well. The one downside is the bag that holds it ripped after only a few uses even with me being somewhat careful. A bigger bag would've held up better, but that's not a huge issue for us since we ended up just making our own. I would recommend spending a bit more on the bigger model as it's better to have more space, and not need it rather than less space just to wish you had more. I didn't upgrade and sometimes I wish I had.The boat fits two people very comfortably and it still does okay with four. I can't imagine trying to get five adults on here, but if you have kids you could probably fit five(this also goes back to my point about upgrading to the bigger model).Also you should know that because of the boats size you may need a permit. I live in Oregon and had to get one, but it was affordable and easy to find.Overall great way to spend your money if you are the type of person whos looking for their first boat. It's much cheaper and requires far less maintenance than bigger boats, but still gets the job done and I in no way regret my purchase. The day it breaks I will gladly order another one(in a bigger size of course)

This is a fantastic inflatable boat! I have taken it out a few times and so far no holes or tears! My main goal with this boat was to have a relaxing day on the lake to go fishing with a few friends and it is perfect for that!A couple of things to note that I wish I would have done more research on before buying:Can you put 5 people in this boat? Yes, however you wouldn’t be able to move an inch. The first time I went out we had 4 adults in the boat and it was pretty crammed but bearable(we did also have fishing gear with us), I would say 3 max if you want to be comfortable.I would highly recommend getting a motor in my opinion. It comes with paddles but it’s a big enough boat where it gets exhausting paddling the whole time. With that being said this would add around $250 with the mount, battery, and motor but is definitely worth it! The only downside is depending which state you live in (most of them I believe) you will need to pass a boating safety course and register the boat which is another $100.Lastly, expect it to take 30 minutes to set up/inflate the first few times you do it. It comes with a manual pump but takes a lot of air and is exhausting. If you have a few extra bucks to get an electric pump do it!Overall, after figuring these things out I am really happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone in the market for an inflatable boat!
