Description of Inflatable boat Intex Challenger-3 (68370) yellow

Triple inflatable boat Intex Challenger 3 (68370) is made of three-layer PVC, consisting of two layers of extra strong vinyl, between which a special polyester mesh is laid. This material is not afraid of exposure to aggressive environments: gasoline, engine oil, salt water. Large Intex inflatable boats are always high quality and reliability at a relatively low cost. Bright yellow color will be clearly visible both on the water and on the shore. Light weight and dimensions allow you to take the Challenger inflatable boat on most country trips to water bodies. PVC Triple Boats are made of durable vinyl and are easy to operate, and for added safety they have 3 separate air chambers. Boat Challenger from Intex is convenience and excellent quality from a recognized manufacturer of inflatable products. It can also be used as an inflatable boat for a motor - it is possible to mount an TM Intex engine (art. 68631) and a holder for it (art. 68624) to it. Intex inflatable rowing boats do not require registration in Gims as watercraft. Product specifications: Size: 295 * 137 * 43 cm. The presence of oarlocks for oars. Maximum load: 320 kg. Boat material: 0.50 mm high strength vinyl. Paddle material: aluminium. Weight: 12.13 kg. The set includes: boat; 2 air pillows; 2 oars, 137 cm; hand pump, 36 cm. Distinctive features of Challenger boats from Intex: 3 independent air chambers. The first, largest, forms the outer compartment of the boat''s hull. The second (internal compartment of the hull) together with the third (inflatable floor) form a chamber located inside the main hull, the so-called "boat in a boat" - providing complete safety. The chambers are equipped with Boston-type valves for quick inflation and deflation. Mooring rope around the perimeter. The presence of holders that allow you to attach oars along the outside of the hull when not in use. There is a handle on the bow of the boat, which is convenient for mooring and towing. The inflatable floor has a Wave Beam design: internal vertical vinyl baffles run parallel to the sides of the boat, forming longitudinal air channels that make the floor surface look wavy. The inflatable floor of this design is reliable, convenient and creates additional comfort for passengers.

I am happy with everything, the product matches the description.

You can swim. But it is very difficult to go against the current. For a child on a pond and where there is no current - that's it. I took it with an electric pump from the cigarette lighter - it inflates in 5-7 minutes.

Pros
  • Looks reliable. Includes: hand pump, paddles, repair kit and 2 inflatable pillows.
Cons
  • One pillow was cut through, it is impossible to seal it with the existing repair kit, because the slot is at the junction.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Pros: a quite comfortable boat for a leisurely walk along a calm pond - I took it for this. Cons: the oars are short, I would like more authentic. not very well controlled by oars, apparently due to the location of the oarlocks not in the center, but closer to the edges of the boat.

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

In operation since 2022 Bought spontaneously. I have 150 kg. I use periodically. Not often, but rafting down the river 2-3 times for 1-3 days, episodes on a beach holiday, 1 time on a hunt. 1 time my grandfather tried the breeze motor, something went wrong with him, but there, maybe. and the human factor. If you use it all the time, you need to make wooden seats. Sitting on the bow / stern, rowing is inconvenient. If you do not pump the boat, nothing will happen to it. Inflatable bottom ex…

Pros
  • Price, reliability, oddly enough, equipment, stability
Cons
  • Inflatable seats, the boat roams, you have to taxi, you constantly use oars, the speed is low, the color is not for hunting .

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

Recently tried a boat on the river. The boat consists of two cylinders - internal and larger, external, plus, the inflatable floor is inflated separately. Cylinders are equipped with Boston-type valves - it is a pleasure to inflate and deflate air from them. Two balloons inflate in a maximum of 10 minutes. The same amount is spent on inflating the floor, since a conventional valve is installed there, as on a beach air mattress. Apparently, the manufacturer decided that installing a few extra…

Pros
  • Light, strong and stable boat at a reasonable price.
Cons
  • Not very comfortable oarlocks. The paddles included are short.

A good product, but having its own defects.

Took for 6500 in 2022. Suitable for the first experience of alloys, it will not be boring on it :). Life jacket required. The presence of two circuits increases safety, but I do not advise you to go further than 50 meters from the shore. I do not advise swimming in cold weather (anyway, water will get into the boat, even in warm weather it is advisable to have a spare T-shirt, pants and shorts). I sit (almost lying) at the bottom, I put pillows behind my back. After one and a half to two hours…

Pros
  • In operation since 2022. I went on several one-day rafting trips in warm weather, including five-kilometer rafting along the banks of the Volga and a ten-kilometer rafting along Kotorosl through the famous "16 stones" rift in the Karabikha region. Has proven itself well, never lost weight. Kelnutsya (turn over) on it is unlikely because of the low landing of passengers. Separately purchased aluminated adhesive tape for patches and a spare valve "Boston" have never come in handy. The boat itself weighs about 11 kg along with a light handcart.
Cons
  • This is not a boat, but a one-two-man inflatable raft. You can really swim only with the flow and with the wind. Handling is low, with a strong wind the oars do not obey due to the large windage. It is almost impossible to go against the wind and against the current. The boat does not keep its course, you have to sail either bow, or stern, or sideways. Soft enough to move on it without scooping up water is not easy. You have to crawl in and out. Due to the lack of a back, the back and especially the neck get tired. When I sit for a long time, my legs begin to cramp. The complete pump is weak and inconvenient, you must immediately take a foot pump.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Highly recommend. For two adults it's perfect. The second one is already too tight. A wonderful option for both fishermen and for a simple holiday on the water with the family. If I were asked what to buy the first boat of an amateur level for a reasonable price, I would boldly name this option. If you don’t have enough oars, you can buy a transom for the boat (this is a motor mount) and a small electric motor, for example, something from Watersnake. Just make sure that the transom is suitable…

Pros
  • The compactness of the boat (folded), the size of the boat (unassembled), the quality of the material, quick assembly / disassembly, the ability to install a motor (not included).
Cons
  • I don’t know how it is in other boats, but it takes a really long time to blow off the bottom. Perhaps this is the only drawback, but the pros, of course, outweigh. Because of this, the hand does not rise to reduce the score.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

For such money, you can endure some inconvenience of inflating the bottom. I also saw reviews here that the boat takes up a lot of space after the first deflation, although I managed to fit it even into a box after deflation, and with oars and a pump. Great toy, I recommend. ate: look carefully to see if you are assembling the oars correctly. If you insert a stick into the rowing plane not with a latch, but with the other side, half the oar - fyut - and it will sink nafig)

Pros
  • Pretty big, comfortable boat. I am glad that the oars and the pump are included.
Cons
  • The valve on the two circuits is good, allowing you to quickly inflate and deflate. And for some reason the bottom is inflated through a regular mattress, it is quite inconvenient to inflate and deflate the bottom.
