The Best Inflatable Raft for Fishing a Small Lake or Pond - Unboxing Intex Excursion 4

The Intex Excursion 4 is an inflatable raft that's great for fishing small lakes and ponds. It can seat 4 adults, but I think 3 adults is a better fit. We unboxed it and set up the raft to do some fishing.

I've had mine for a year now and have done a plywood floor, two trolling motors, built a pipe dolly to use the boat ramps. Working on seats and a platform for the front and back to store the tackle boxes and use as a bait table. I love this Soo much.

"Instructions... don't need that". Great minds think alike.

The boat comes with a lil plastic measuring tape that you put by the filling port so you know when it's full. You'd hate to over fill and hit a sharp rock or something but that's the main reason they have multiple filling ports so if 1 bursts for any reason the whole boat won't deflate

My brother calls my inflatable a "raft". It's 60lbs, I have an 82lb, 15hp motor(electric start) on it, will do 26mph. cruising speed. Folds up like an accordion, takes up little space in the truck.

That bullhead on a cut plug is crazy. It would be one thing if you got it along the bottom, but long lining with no weight on the surface is even crazier.

@brianvandy4002 3 жыл бұрын

It's better if you put the motor mount on before you blow up the third chamber. Also, many states require registration if you mount a motor. Check your local laws.

You need a registration number in OR if using a motor. Here’s my stickers, I’ll eventually put them on, but if I get pulled over I’ll just spread them out like a hand of cards lol. Hahaha no worries bro, it happens to all of us 💪

A CATFISH !?? lol. Such a serene setting. Fun stuff. I tried another brand of inflatable for lakes good quality. Was uncomfortable with moving around and 2 guys in the raft. I returned it. PK if you have a float tube maybe on a lake like this in a float tube?

@oregonlife 3 жыл бұрын

Rafts are a little tight and awkward due to its cramped space. I tried a float tube once, but that was even more awkward. The raft is nice when I don't need to haul my boat around.

@@oregonlife how much did that Intex way? I used to have the 12 foot long hobie inflatable kayak with peddle drive. It weighed 80 lbs. But the cellular floor they had was awesome. You could stand up in it. I rigged it with a small lake troller and fish finder. Fished on Tahoe with it. I could troll that puppy at 3 miles an hour pretty easily. It was fun but finally sold it.

How well does the material of the raft resist against puncture?

@oregonlife 3 жыл бұрын

It's somewhat resistant, similar to my old Sevylor which I dragged through rocks, gravel, and dirt, and it still held up. However, if you run into a pointed stick out of the water, I'd say you better be a good swimmer.
