   Bought this after christmas and spent the better part of 2 months getting it registered, a motor, battery and other things to take it out this weekend…Only to find it leaking from a seam in the front… and has never hit the water… I have called Intex Corp and they will be sending a return label… After speaking to a supervisor they asked me to cut up a part of the boat where its leaking and send it to them in order to get a new one and told me to stay updated on their online claim section… which the next day I notice that my claim was rejected I contacted Intex. over an hour later I did get a response and was told it was a mistake and that my claim should be processed in a day or 2… 😥 scared and angered me for a second. A few days later, the replacement boat arrived. turns out to be an early version of last years model rather than the current hull model. I had to register the boat for use with a trolling motor in CA again because they wouldn’t refund me what I spent on the registration from the last one. Dealing with the customer service was quite a horrible experience… I was finally able to register and test out the replacement Intex Corp. sent me. I used a Newport Vessel 55 Lbs Trolling Motor (Available On intexdiscount.com! Great Motor!) paired with a Wal-Mart DC29 Marine Battery with 122 Amp Hour and attached the motor to the Intex Motor Mount I purchased for the prior boat. I was able to inflate the boat in 20 to 25 Minutes thanks to the Intex Electric Pump. With no modification to the boat (with the exception of leaving the front seat behind I took it out into the lake. The boat did very well in the water with the motor it was paired with. The older model has lower walls than the newer model but it did not cause any issues even when dealing with large wakes by larger and faster boats. You do feel the wakes left off by other faster and larger boats so unless you add your own wood flooring standing on this is close to impossible. About 2 hours into being in the lake I did feel like the boat was slightly deflated and got a bit paranoid. I was warned that PVC has a tendency to stretch a bit as the day gets warmer as it causes the air in the boat to expand. Fortunately I had the measuring strip provided with the boat and the boat kept its pressure. Deflation was simple but unfortunately the bag (Cheap bag) ripped easily so I now wrap it with a tarp that I lay down under the boat to inflate it. I have yet to use the oars to row the boat but honestly… I don’t trust them… After everything I have dealt with I have to admit that I am satisfied that the replacement model worked and gave me no issues. It is a rather large boat and I could have definitely had 2 or 3 more people with me on the boat. It was infuriating to pay for the registration all over again and dealing with Intex Customer Service but overall I am satisfied with the product. I am considering purchasing one of their Kayaks but I would have to test & evaluate ASAP in order to deal with intexdiscount.com with the return rather than Intex… I should point out some things: Pros: Lightweight Easy To Set Up Plenty Of Space To Sit Works Well With 55 Lbs Trolling Motor (About 6 to 8 MPH) 4 Rod Holders Comes With Essentials (Oars, Hand Pump, Bag) Cons: Included Bag Is Thinner & Cheaper Than A Black Trash Bag… It Will Rip… Pump Is Fair Quality But Can Break. Others Have Complaint Of Oars Breaking. Oars Do Feel Weak. Quality Control Issues With Manufacturing Facilities. Seam leaks seem to be a common defect. Customer Service Is Sub Standard & Online Claim System Is Broken. Special Notes: Test any Intex product before you hit the water with it ASAP for leaks and/or manufactures defects. Intex Boats Only Have A 90 Day Warranty If any issues with your Intex Product occurs, and your in the Return Window with intexdiscount.com, return for exchange or refund through intexdiscount.com. Otherwise you will have to deal with Intex Corp. & I promise you that you will be disappointed & infuriated…

   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.

   To this day? This boat is under warranty with asurion! I have been ping ponged back and forth between intexdiscount.com and Asurion and neither of them will refund this defective item! Now, this product remains under warranty and claims to seat 4 people. This boat was sent to me without oars. I asked the seller to send me them and even though it is under warranty? They would not. I was ping ponged back and forth between intexdiscount.com and Asurion and no one ever sent me any oars, the seller told me they would not be sending me any, either. Granted, at the time? This is under warranty with Asurion! This year? We inflated the boat and I have video of 4 children not being able to fit in the boat whatsoever, the boat deflating, almost drowning all 4 children in it. My niece has a video of the time it was inflated to the time it deflated and almost killed all 4 children that it claims to be able to accommodate. I have screenshots with this seller, promptly denying sending me any oars, even though the boat is and was under warranty with Asurion. Now? It is time that we hand everything over to our attorney. I have still not been able to get a refund for this defective item that never remained inflated on video and almost killed 4 children that could not even fit in it. Thank God they were wearing life jackets! I have a warranty with Asurion. I bought it through intexdiscount.com. Again, after this happened? They ping ponged me back and forth each other telling me I needed to talk to the other for a refund. The seller refuses from day 1 of me receiving this boat without oars to give me a refund, as well. There is no where left to turn but to an attorney for negligence. Give me the refund for this boat! It is still under warranty! Or I will have my attorney sue intexdiscount.com, Asurion and Intel. Some one is going to give me a refund or they’re going to give me a whole lot more than that for 4 children almost losing their lives on video and for never sending me oars for the boat at all and for claiming that it seats 4 adults when 4 children cannot even fit in it.

   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 kit 2. 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 walmart 5. 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 legal 7. An air horn 8. 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 safer 10. Bow and stearn light (green/red for bow and white for back). I found a set for inflatables on intexdiscount.com 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 organized 13. I would consider buying a couple large plastic bins to carry and store the boat 14. Loctite! The bolts holding the motor mount seem to loosen on their own. Using some loctite should help that 15. I am buying led light strips for my boat for better lighting at night 16. Buy dock bumpers if you plan on landing this at a dock. You dont want sharp metal or wood puncturing it

   Resistente incluso en río de piedra. Muy buena calidad.

   Se siente de excelente calidad, es muy pesada y sientes que compraste algo muy bueno y no un juguete. Se infla muy rápido con la bomba manual. Ya solo queda probarla en el agua

   Divertido bote para uso familiar, la calidad es excelente. Lo hemos utilizado un par de veces y hay que tomarse el tiempo de armarlo como en desarmarlo. Pero es muy práctico.
