Intex Excursion Inflatable Boat Set with Aluminium Oars and Pump (4 Person or 5 Person Model)

Product Information

One thing to note, is that this isn’t the boat for adrenaline junkies and speed freaks. Even with the trolling motor on, the Intex Excursion 5 will only travel at a leisurely speed of about 5mph. Also, if you’re looking for something that was designed for more longterm durability, we would recommend Intex’s Mariner 4 inflatable boat. Add to that the inflatable cushions, and you and your dog will surely have an enjoyable boating experience. Furthermore, it has a couple of fishing rod holders to have a relaxing fishing experience. Additionally, Intex has an intense focus on sustainability and safety. They’ve worked for ten years to lower the carbon-footprint of their products, and are active on a wide variety of committees to set the safety standards within the industry. Another great option is the Intex Seahawk 4 Inflatable Boat Set, which is perfect for fishing and recreational boating on calm rivers and lakes. This inflatable boat is made of rugged vinyl construction, ensuring its durability. The U.S. Coast Guard certifies it as safe to use on the water. And this 5-seater boat is solid and rigid because it has an inflatable I-beam floor. All the features of Excursion 4 are also present in Excursion 5. About Intex

Some have butted seams, while the others have overlapped seams. Regardless of the seams being overlapped or butted, there will still be glue to keep them sealed. It would be best to go for an inflatable boat with butted seams, although it is usually more expensive. Designed for two adult passengers, this inflatable boat set is meant to give you the satisfaction you hope to enjoy. It is dog-friendly, so you no longer have to leave your dog behind when you want to enjoy water adventures like fishing and rowing. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Quality control also isn’t great as there are several bad eggs So, to summarize everything, the Intex Excursion 5 is an inflatable boat made by Intex Recreation Corp. It is built with tough and durable materials so that you can take it even in rough waters. This inflatable boat can also comfortably seat five adults. Almost every boat in the market comes with a set of oars. But you should never underestimate how important these are. With Excursion 5, you’ll get a nice set of aluminum oars to navigate without a motor.

Verdict

The Intex Excursion 5 is a spacious inflatable boat that has an attachment for a small motor, like a Minn Kota or Torqeedo lite. If you’ve never had an inflatable before, you also won’t have any problems. Setting it up is very easy. All you have to do is pump it up, and you’re ready to go. The boat has motor mount fittings in case you want to add a trolling motor to make your boating experience easier and more fun.
