Intex Excursion Inflatable Boat

While the boat is rated for a 5-person capacity with a 1300 lb weight limit, it is most comfortable for 3 to 4 adults. Five people will feel quite crowded, especially if you have fishing gear or coolers on board.

No, the battery is not included. You will need to purchase a 12-volt deep cycle marine battery separately to power the 40lb thrust trolling motor.

The boat is constructed from heavy-duty, puncture-resistant PVC designed for recreational use. While it is quite tough, it is still an inflatable, so you should avoid dragging it over sharp rocks or jagged debris to ensure its longevity.

The I-beam floor provides decent stability for sitting and moving around, but it is not as rigid as a hard-shell boat or a drop-stitch floor. Most users find it stable enough for casual fishing, but standing up requires good balance.

With the included high-output pump, setup typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It is a straightforward process, but having an electric pump can speed up the inflation time significantly.

Yes, you can use it in saltwater, but you must thoroughly rinse the boat, motor, and all components with fresh water after every use. Salt residue can corrode the motor and degrade the PVC material over time.
