Intex Boat

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone thinks there would be any sort of danger adding a plywood floor to my intex excursion 4?

Basically i am just going to buy a piece of plywood and cut it too size then round the edges with a router saw. Then i will put it in the bottom of my boat and inflate

My reasons for doing this is to protect the floor from dropping things like pliers and other fishing tools and also to make it sturdier/ easier to move around in


Anyone see and flaws in my plan? unforseen dangers? has anyone tried it?

Thanks in advance

while it sounds like a good idea, your inflatable is made out of pvc vinyl and although they advertize this as a durable abrasion resistant fabric, it's not comparable to inflatable boats costing $1,000 or more.

your inflatable is not designed to have a wooden floor, i suspect that the seams between the floor and the sides of the boat may fail due to additional strain.

my best advise is to conntact the manufacturer at the site below and ask them

hope this helps

Intex Boat on Amazon: tinyurl.com Minn Kota Motor on Amazon: tinyurl.com Many people have been asking about this boat, so I decided to make ...

It looks like a great boat, but before I buy it (online), I'm wondering, if anyone owns this and knows the collapsable (or shipped) size. I can see deflated size online, but it doesn't tell me if it can be collapsed/folded further. A 118" x 53.5" seems like a lot to handle... We want to transport this in a toyota matrix, preferably not on the roof. Is this possible?

Yes, it will easily fit into a trunk of any size car. The box that the boat comes in is about 2' x 1.5' x 1'. Of course, that's when it's perfectly deflated and folded, so after you inflate it you'll never be able to fold it down that small again....I tried to fit mine back into the box but couldn't, so if I had to give an estimate on the size I'd say about 2.5' x 2' x 1.5'.

If I could compare it to some everyday object, I'd say it's about the size of large rolled up sleeping bag, maybe a little bigger. My friend easily fit his in the trunk of his old Corolla and new Sentra. I have an SUV so it's not an issue but it takes up no more than 1/4 the trunk space, below the seats. Definitely not something you'd have to haul on the roof unless it's fully inflated, which would defeat the purpose in the first place.

If I could recommend anything else for your boat, it would be an electric air pump. I don't use one because it doesn't bother me to pump it up with the manual pump it includes, but I know some people might get annoyed by it because it takes 5-10 minutes to pump it up in the three different chambers and can start to fatigue your arms a bit...so it's a personal preference but something to keep in mind.

Do you must wear a life jacket in an inflatable 4 person boat in Ontario, Canada?

The specific boat is the Intex Seahawk 400:

Hello, this is one of lifes questions where you as an individual make choices through experience, wish to eliminate risks and advice from others.

I suggest that when you are operating, working or playing in boats r there is a great chance that you may end up in the water and even if you are a strong swimmer a life jacket or buoyancy aid helps to support you whilst you still need to swim to get things sorted out.

My suggestion is that not only in Ontario, you should always wear some sort of personal flotation device when out paddling.

I hope this helps you make the correct choice.
