Product Information

One great addition, he says, is the motor mount kit. There’s no need for any tools to put it on. It is held in place by strong mounting screws. The plate is also made of very durable synthetic material strong enough to hold a 3 horsepower motor. Deflate the liner slightly to eliminate the bulging. Please be aware changes in the ambient temperature outside will cause the air inside the liner to expand or contract. On hot summer days we would suggest deflating the pool ring slightly. On colder winter days you may notice the liner looks a little soft and needs some more air. A product wouldn’t be so popular if it was no good, would it? But at the same time, no boat is perfect, especially one that costs so little.

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.

If relaxing is your main goal, it’s probably a good idea to buy a small trolling motor. The built-in motor fitting is perfect for those who don’t want to deal with rowing the Excursion 5. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Quality control also isn’t great as there are several bad eggs Whenever we heard the phrase “ inflatable boat” this often brings to mind something flimsy, but in reality, you will experience that the Intex Excursion 5 is much more than that. Intex has designed this excursion 5 boats to be very easy to store and inflate, and plenty of features have been added by Intex to combine the comfort, functionality, and fun of the boat. 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. Overall, it’s good to remember how much you are paying for this boat. You can’t pay the price of an entry-level boat and expect a yacht. Alternatives

You could also attach a gasoline-powered motor to the inflatable boat. But, you have to remember that it can only run to 5 mph. The best motor for the Excursion 5 has a 1.5 HP maximum. Made of heavy-duty vinyl material, this inflatable boat is tough and durable, giving you peace of mind when out on the lake. In fact, it can withstand possible damage caused by UV rays, impact, and abrasion.

Not a Lightweight

We tested this while sailing–to get to land when on anchor–and on rivers and canals. We even went fishing and managed to catch a perch (not too big unfortunately). As mentioned above, the inflatable boat has a motor mount fitting on its stern, and there is a good reason for that. You can mount a trolling motor at the stern for those who love a little more adventure on the Excursion 5. All you need is a trolling motor, a battery, and a battery box, and you’re ready to go.
