Intex 77in x 40in Inflatable Explorer Pro 200 Boat Set with oars and pump #58357

Great quality for the price. Pump works well and inflates dinghy quickly and easily. The material it's made from seems hardwearing and durable. The oars, though well designed ( I particularly like the rubber/plastic hoops that prevent the oars from escaping from the rowlocks), do have a tendency to work loose (specifically, the yellow paddle ends) after periods of vigorous rowing, so it's a good idea to check these for tightness occasionally.We had the dinghy out today on the south coast in high winds and fast flowing tidal currents (probably not recommended) and it performed admirably, considering the conditions.I think this is a great value product and my kids love it.It was delivered quickly, too. Good stuff!

Arrived fast and amazing fun.I brought this to take on holiday abroad. I like to float around the swimming pool in a dingy. You get stability, space and fun in a boat and can just float around (or if like me get the husband to pull you around) the pool for hours.I am a large lady (top of weight limit) and fitted and floated well in this, even with my 8 year old daughter climbing aboard with me too- plenty of room.On the odd occasion I got out the boat to have a swim, my daughter was straight on it, jumping into it from the edge of the pool. We treated it rough and it held well with no issues.We got so much attention when on holiday with our boat, the hotel reps actually offered me money to buy the boat... At the end of the holiday I did give it to them as they were so impressed with it.Totally recommend!

You get what you pay for cheep thin plastic( you can’t tell how thin the plastic is on the internet. I HATE PLASTIC. Can’t you use recycled plastic at least.Frugi children’s clothes sell recycled plastic in their clothes line they last forever my kids have had their winter coats for two seasons already and still good.

There were no oars or pump like stated

excellent buy!! well worth it but to explain i will have to start at the beginning...this is a story of 5 grown men who are absolute idiots who decided to sail their local river (wansbeck) or part of it anyway as we didnt know how legal it was...we had never heard of this before so we would be the first.. turns out we all got the explorer 200 and it didnt disappoint (i named mine elizabeth).... on in the description it say max weight 120kg...that is about my give or take a few kg and i also had a rucksack filled with all the essentials bear grylls recommends with me which added a few kg and i fitted in nice and comfortably!! the other lads were carrying essentials as well and they had no problems.. now the photo may give the illusion that there isnt much room but i am lying down in it!after the naming and launch of our vessels we were sailing fine before we hit some shallow water.... this is where we thought the boats would fail with "rip zones" all over from hidden rocks.. we all felt the boats sliding over them and feared the worst but they held their own!!! the river opened up and we drifted with the current as passers by looked on in awe!we got 3 quarters of the way to the sea when we had to call an end to our voyage because one of our crew has a captain at home who would make him walk the plank if he was late!!the only problem i found was the oars.. kept coming loose and i had to keep tightening them but for £17 i cant really complain about that.. we are busy planning our next adventure!!!!!!!

Made of strong materiel. Recommend that you buy the oars and pump included item. Pump looks small but works surprisingly well, takes under 10 mins to inflate. Deflation is not so easy, there are 3 inflation areas, the main one deflates easy with the good design of a "Boston Value", the remaining 2 channels need to be deflated by squeezing the value and forcing the air out, can take a little longer than the inflation. Item will not deflate to package box size and needs a large bag to carry (larger than the average ruck sack). Because the sitting position is lower than the oars, the rowing takes a bit of getting used too and we found the best way was not to use the oar extension and holders and use the shorten oars held at arms length. The boat/float can move away quickly so supervision with children is strongly recommended, the boat can take the wight of 2 average sized adults. Overall for the price this is a quality item well worth the purchase.

This is in our large paddling pool and has given the children hours of fun.We will be taking it on holiday too.Robust and big enough for 3 bums.

A good product, reasonably priced which makes a good starter for rowing on calm and enclosed patches of water for young children under adult supervision.
