Beautiful video! I bought the exact same boat about a month ago, an Excursion 5, and I got a 55 lb trolling motor just today! This video made me anxious to take the boat out! Ahhh... to be out on the water! I'm in Ohio, so I should probably wait until there's a little less ice on the water, seeing as it's been snowing here in early February!

dinopad10 , ive had a ton of fun in this boat. It never let me down and never a leak in 5 years. Ive been into hiking/kayaking the past year so its been stored in the garage. Thanks for watching!

Great video. I am a DFW local.I'm waiting for my Excursion to come in from Amazon. I plan on adding the wood floor to it as well. I picked up a trolling motor for it the other day. Question, how easy was it to get the raft registered? Also, how do you transport it? I am thinking of picking up the cheap trailer from HF.

Denise Lynn its a great boat, holds a ton of weight. I had years of fun with it. Never had any leaks, i laid out a big tarp and inflated it over that then dragged the tarp into the water. But with 2 people it will be easier and you can carry it.

I got my bamini canopy in the mail but it was too wide so Im going to send it back and get the correct size but we couldnt figure out how to mount it to the oar lock. Did you mount it with the hardware included with the bamini or did you have to buy something extra? Is it attached to the smaller 2 holes on the oar lock or the big round hole? I feel with the bamini the boat is more safe because the bigger boats can see you better if your on the lake.
