Works great and holds up well even with my four kids jumping and climbing in and out of it constantly.

I bought my Excursion 5 earlier this month. An excellent investment to say the least. Made a few mods (trolling motor, battery, extended motor arms, bimini top, hardwood floor and swivel seats) to it and took put her on the water for her maiden voyage. Almost 3hrs later abs she didn't disappoint! Seated 2 adults and an child easily. Would've been nice if the fish were biting but you cant have it all. I plan to add a rudder (she drifts a little when trolling straight ahead), 3rd seat and maybe a fan for next summer. Easily transported in my vehicle and only took about 30mins to setup for the first time. I expect that to shorten as I spend more time on the water in the future.
I received my Excursion 5 in the mail a few days ago. I love the amount of room it has to offer and the durability seems great. My dog and I will be heading down the Mississippi River from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast in a few weeks. I will be leaving My FINAL review in a few Months. I am excited to test Your companies product out!!! - Johnathan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfort to sit on. I’m not sure about durability, it looks not steady to me. Can fit in 4 people easily. Lightweight to move around. Easy to store up too, which I really like

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Midwest girl from Indiana I’ve been fishing and boating since I was a toddler. So needless to say I was so so excited to try this index fishing boat!! We live less than an hour away from a large lake and beach and just short of that for a regular fishing lake, as well as my parents living on a lake property itself. I know and love Intex products were well as we’ve owned many things from them! There are two separate options for this boat, one with a motor and one without. Surprising the motor separately is pretty inexpensive for a well working motor. The boat itself holds almost 1200 lbs. my husband and I could honestly fit on it with our 3 youngest children just fine on here with no issues. The paddles oars are perfect and fit well while working well -‘d it also comes with a pump for easy air up for it! Before getting this I did much reviews on it and I’m proud to say it stands up to its word of how well it works! It’s a nice smooth ride that stays afloat with everyone aboard. Adding a motor just adds more to the fun! Our family loves it and can’t wait to continue to use it with more warmer weather coming around the corner!

Had a perfect boating weekend with this roomy 12ft boat that easily fits in the trunk. Great on its own but would recommend also purchasing a battery inflator, drill paddle, and/or trolling motor setup. can't wait to take it out again!

Hello Friends.... We purchased this Boat with the mount and motor and this is a true review so please read it. The boat overall is awesome and so much fun!! I inflates and deflates super quick and the set up is about 30 min total to be on the water with the motor and mount. Super comfortable and easy to set up and take down. It's pretty heavy but a stronger 1 man can handle it. if not handles allow for 2 people to carry. Here is what I have a problem with....... 1. 5 person??? ummmm i don't think so...... Maybe if you don't have a motor and a battery MAYBE....but it's going to be super tight with 5 ADULTS plus some cooler. I'll say 4 adults without Motor......3 adults with Motor. Or if you have kids no problem 2 adults 2 children. Def. not 5 adults though..... you will not have room to cooler or other items. 2. There should be an canvas roof attachment for separate purchase.....the boat gets super hot in direct sunlight and you pretty much cook. I built my own one so i'm good on that end but there should be an option to purchase perfect fit one. 3. Pump........No way that you will like to use the hand pump they should include a electric pump that uses outlet and car outlet. It's a waste of money for them to include that into the box because no one will ever use that. BUY A ELECTRIC ONE... Thank me later. 4. Cup holder........Again there should be an attachment for cup holders.....they thought about rod holders but not cup holders I mean if you are on the water of course you need water, beer, pop on the boat if part of fun.....so def. would need a cup holder.....but i've made my own. Overall.....I give 5 stars for this boat cause i'm handy and i could customize things for this boat you can also YOUTUBE some videos of other people doing cool stuff to the boat. So conclusion.......... Buy this boat with Mount and MOTOR......Believe me you will need it. And have fun cause it's a fun boat with some extras that you need to get. WATCH some youtube videos and get out there and enjoy nature. CHEEERS!!!
We purchased this to float the river and it was perfect! We spent 7.5 hours on the water, and this boat made for the best day. It's very roomy and durable. There were only 2 of us in the boat along with our coolers, but we could have easily had another person or 2 join us and it would have still been enough space. I would highly recommend this boat!
We used to have the Mariner 4 and had to let it go during an international move. I like this more because it is lighter to carry, has more sitting space, and the floor is softer to sit on. The only downside of this vs the Mariner 4 is that it can hold less of a motor, but I am not planning to use it with a motor. Another small downside is that if you take some water into your mariner 4 you stay dry because it settles below the floor, if you take enough water into this with kids and dog getting in and out, you start sitting in water, which is not as ideal. Seems strong enough that it is going to last.

The boat is big enough for 5. We had a few trips as 3 adults, 2 kids, and a dog. It was plenty of space for our stuff too. If you going to use oars for the boat, my advice to order second set plus extentions, because those it is too hard to use only one pair, when the boat is full. I bought trolling motor right after my first trip). Also there is small inconvenience with realizing of the right pressure in the boat. No manometer coming with the boat, instead that you need to measure 10cm mark on a side. The process is a little annoying, i would prefer a manometer on the air pump or some easy to read indicators on each chambers.

Took it out for river floating yesterday. So far everything great. Had a blast. No problems as yet. Definitely will put in a plywood floor, as it is hard to get in and out of.
We took our boat out for the first time, fillied it and valve 3 leaks! We were able to go out on the lake for 20 minutes (long enough to fill the girl scout patch requirements) but would love to some how get this fixed! The boat is perfect for us as love to travel and it can pack away nicely. This first trip really made me want to go again, I love that it was so easy to maneuver in the water and that we could have attached a troll motor. Please tell me there is a way to get this fixed!
