Review on Intex Mariner Inflatable Boat Set Collection by Wayne Girard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Good and The Bad

Just received this Mariner 3. Haven't used it yet but blew it up on the back porch and played around with it a bit. Here are my first impressions: Good: 1) The thickness of the material is very good and very strong 2) The stitching is very good and smooth 3) I like the oarlocks but plan to use an electric motor instead is good. It looks like it will work fine. Bad: 1) Floor is a good idea but poorly implemented. Too thick, too heavy and tedious installation. Surprisingly, the instructions don't say anything about how to defeat this beast. Maybe they didn't understand either. 2) How to put it more beautifully, the case is not good. Too weak to last long and too small when you roll the boat off the bottom (what the instructors say you can do). I don't want to remove the floor because I never want to lay it again. 3) Can't comment on the paddles but I'm not sure they will last.

Pros
  • Four Boston valves on main body chamber for quick inflation and quick deflation.
Cons
  • Retail Availability
