IntexExcursion 5 Person Inflatable Outdoor Fishing Raft Boat Set with 2 Aluminum Oars and Air Pump with a Composite Motor Mount Kit

What a great buy!!! Easy to assemble and take down; great for fishing with a trolling motor attached to the back. Watched a few YouTube videos and we outfitted the raft with a plywood floor covered with outdoor rug and lined around the edges with that foamy pipe insulation tubes. We also placed a beach chair near the trolling motor, snugged in with brackets at the chair base so you don't fall over, however you can still fish and work the motor if alone. Plenty of room for as much fishing gear as you want to take with you. I'm not sure about having 5 people in the boat in the middle of a lake--you gotta be really close friends and not move around too much!! All in all...what a blast

There are numerous videos on how to build a rigid floor. Without it you can not stand up.

I absolutely love this boat, but you have to be careful. Don't over inflate. There are markers for measuring for fill. Use them or you will be disappointed. My first one (fortunately, it was still under warrantee) started leaking in between the sections because once you inflate one side section, the next side section raises the pressure in the previous section so now I partially fill one section and then go back after filling the second section to top it up. Be careful and it will last.

Used it in a saltwater bay this summer (2024) with an electric saltwater trolling motor hooked up to a LiFePO battery in a plastic case. Working well so far. Construction looks good.

Well we blew it up in living room we had to move Everthing out beside the couch we sat in it until 1:00 am in the morning vary easy set up ! Then we took it down thinking we were going fishing over the weekend had Everthing ready then the fire broke out we haven't got on clearlake yet because evacuating the are and now to much smoke so it's sits until the ranch fire is over ! But I can testify vary comfortable , and big , and ready to go! set up in 30 mins we love it ! But we are forbidden to go on the lake until smoke is gone .

Purchased for a family float trip. Friends and family suggested I purchase the Seahawk 4 from a different vendor, but I didn’t listen. I should have taken their advice and so should you.We opened the raft at our camp site and immediately noticed while the raft looked new, there appeared to be rope burn marks across the #2 and #3 chambers near the front of the boat. We didn’t think much of it as the rest of the boat and items appeared new. We also wanted to make the best of the situation as we had a group of nearly 30 people and the float trip had been planned for the better part of a year.We inflated the boat on the grass and proceeded to pack the rest of our stuff. Within 45 minutes we noticed the boat’s #2 and #3 chambers were not as tight as they had been. We thought it was just the rubber stretching out as the boat hadn’t been inflated before.We again inflated the boat and proceeded to take it to the river for a 12 mile float. The boat seemed ok so we started our float trip. About an hour in to the float we had lost pressure in the #2 and #3 tubes. It became so bad and unsafe for my wife and 5 year old that we had to exit at a camp site and call someone to come get us. Needless to say we never finished the float trip.We examined the boat and refilled it with air several times but we could not locate the leak. Rather than transport the defective wet and sandy boat back home we chucked it in the trash. We were pretty mad our trip was ruined by the defective boat.We contacted VM Innovations to let them know what happened and how the trip was ruined because of the defective boat. We were advised that they cannot refund our money without me cutting out the warning label on the raft and sending them a picture of it. Apparently they think we are lying and trying to get a free boat.VM Innovations, you can keep my $150 I paid for the boat because apparently you need it more than I do. Way to insult your customers by implying they are liars and thieves.Hopefully potential customers won’t make the same mistake I did by purchasing a substandard product from a substandard vendor.As a side note, friends and family purchased five of the the Seahawk 4 boats from another vendor and those boats worked flawlessly.

VM Express has outstanding customer service. We needed to register the inflatable boat in the stare of AZ. We needed a Bill of Sale from them. They didn’t only give us a bill of sale, they actually filled out the state of AZ’s official bill of sale and emailed it to us to print out. They were awesome and did this within an hour of our request. Kudos on your customer service.

It is larger than I thought. Little on the heavy side/awkward for one person. Other than that I love it. I was able to fish and my daughter paddled us in a circle. I believe it would fit two adults and two kids comfortably. Little on the pricey side but worth it as it as more of a stable feel in the water compared to the cheaper ones. I would recommend it.
