That's Intex Excursion modification on a whole new level. I picked up an Excursion 4, simply added a 1/2" plywood floor, sanded it, added outdoor carpet, and some pipe insulation to the edges. Also added the motor mount and a 55 lb thrust trolling motor. Beyond the plywood floor, no further substantial mods...wanted something that was easy to set up and take-down, maintaining portability while adding some extra options to make the raft a decent fishing rig for calm waters. Curious as to what your modified Excursion weighs in at as filmed in the video...looks like you'd need a trailer to transport at a minimum.

I will try and do a video on the motor mount mod ASAP. The mod will allow you to put a bigger motor on the boat and increase the boat speed if desired. I think going above 3.5HP might not be a good idea. The boat rubber bottom and seam lines might not be able to handle fast speed and beating it will take with a bigger motor on it. Specially when you are going fast and hitting big waves..I don't know if the boat was design to handle it.

I got a 55lbs electric trolling motor on mine boat. It give me plenty of speed to cross one end of the lake to the other and more. You can put a more powerful gas engine on it but you will need to mod the boat transom to support the heavier motor! My transom support system is integrated into the boat floor frame and it hold up the original OEM motor support mount. I think 3.5 is pretty fast for this type of boat and plenty of speed. I use my boat for fishing and crabbing, not for speeding on a body of water. The hull material is not strong enough to handle a very high speed cruising.

Boat Title, Registration, and Renewal To navigate, operate, employ, or moor your vessel in Washington, you must have a title from the Washington State Department of Licensing, a registration card, and registration decals, unless your vessel is: A canoe, kayak, or not propelled by a motor or sail.Less than 16 feet in length and has a motor of 10 horsepower or less and is used on non-federal waters only.Is properly registered by a resident of another state or country who uses Washington waters for 60 days or fewer. You don't really need to register it if you don't plan on going to Lake Washington or the ocean. the Inex 5 is 12' long and your motor is under 10HP. I didn't register my at all and was stop by a game warding. He didn't even ask about my motor or if I had a registration number for the boat or not.I even ask him about it and was told most lakes are not federal control in WA. I only register it because of crabbing season and wanted to drop my crab pots away from the piers.

@peterpham48468 жыл бұрын
Hi Brandon, Thanks for viewing my video! I keep the IE5 inflated all year long. It seat on a special launch system I built for this boat type. I made a flat dolly system with 12" wheels so I can push the whole setup into my truck bed. Once I arrived at a lake or water ramp, I drop two steel ramps down the back-end of my truck and roll the whole system straight into the water. I push the boat right into the water and roll the dolly launch system back into the truck bed. I will make a video of the flat dolly launch and retrieve setup soon. This is a lot better then pulling it on a trailer. The end of the boat does stick out of the truck bed but I just add a lot of RED Flag on the back during transportation of it.

Here are the seats Dim. The front seat is 29"W x 18 1/2" L X 14" H; the center box is 29 1/4"W X 14"L X 14"H, the driver seat is 29 1/4"W X 16 1/2"L X 14"H. All the boxes are 14 3/4 with lids installed. Once I added the swivel and seat to them it made the height just right for me. I am 5' 9" in height, so when I am on the water it didn't feel so high up or top heavy for me.

Can this handle waves in the ocean? Would you suggest taking it into the ocean? How many people do you think this can hold?

Michael O'Rourke I took this out to the ocean for crabbing season. I got a video showing us docking by the mouth of the port to the ocean after we dropped off our traps. This can handle the ocean great but you need a good strong motor on it. The hardwood flooring is a requirement for ocean fishing. It makes the boat bottom stronger against the ocean waves and a lot more stable too! I would only recommend four people Max after the interior structures are added.

it's amazing most 2016 electronic can be replaced by something smaller/better in 2020. Next put a wind turbine to charge the battery. Stereo: waterproof bluetooth speaker. Lights: LED solar lights.
