Intex Mariner 3 on the Puget Sound | CRAB MASTER

Tested out the Intex Mariner 3 on the Puget Sound in Seattle. We made sure we went out on the water when the tide and current weren't too strong. Be safe out there!

nice set up! planning on getting one. gave me idea to get a piece of ply wood and use as a kinda deck in the front quarter to stand on and fly cast/ fish from. What thrust motor were you using? I was planning on getting a 62 lb.

[@WhiteCavendish]

I run mine with a 3hp gas outboard. She gets up to about 11 or 12 KPH fully loaded. Pretty sweet setup. Gotta love the Intex Mariners - best bang for your buck when it comes to entry level boats.

[@obyafy1]

Can you plz tell which brand of motor it is?

[@WhiteCavendish]

@@obyafy1 old sears gamefisher air cooled. My speed isnt quite so good anymore, but I can still run 8 or 9 kph generally. Great little motor.

[@hongzhenzhang2988]

Can you supply a link as to where to buy that electric pump for inflating the boat? Thanks. Was that Velcro straps to secure the paddle to the side of the boat?

[@crabmaster8698]

Cordless Pump: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GPJ7PNY/ There are different available just get one with lithium-ion and best price! And yes those were small Velcro straps.

[@niteshades_promise]

i have one of these boats, i agree, "needs cup holders" 😂🍻

[@hongzhenzhang2988]

Thanks

[@SAILFISHBRASIL]

Nothing comparing to this sensation. Don't it?

[@zeearcher1360]

Do you recommend the Newport over a Minn Kota?

[@crabmaster8698]

I never had a Minn Kota, but the Newport is officially supported for salt water, so I got that.

[@敖铎]

Hi mate Is 40LB Motor okay or enough for two people sitting on the mariner 3?

[@crabmaster8698]

yea

[@marcosvargas1048]

Greetings, I have a boat of those same ones and I want to put those "rulers" or "tables" that you placed, what would be the measurements, thickness and length of them. Thank you

[@crabmaster8698]

If you mean the wood planks for the benches it is fairly simple. I bought wood planks and cut them to the almost the maximum width of the boat. Then screwed in gate door handles for the sides.

Hi, nice video, i have a question. What kind of air pumb is that without DC current / Can you describe it ? model brand etc . Does it work with its own build in battery or some ?

[@crabmaster8698]

Rechargeable Lithium Air Pump. I used this one from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GPJ7PNY

[@SV1HFK]

@@crabmaster8698 i appreciate your reply !!! Thanks a lot !!

[@mikeltedesco]

I notice you said you didn't like the plywood seats. Have you made any further modifications to the Mariner 3?

[@crabmaster8698]

Instead of the plywood I used a cooler with a cushion on top which is shown in the newer Mariner 3 video. Since then I've sold the Mariner 3 and bought a kayak.

[@nightnday6675]

@@crabmaster8698 is a night and day improvement for fishing?

[@crabmaster8698]

Yes most definitely. I was also afraid of getting a hook into the inflatable. I do miss the motor =)

[@andrewsagaralaski3857]

Why didn’t you inflate the floor?

[@crabmaster8698]

I forgot. I inflated it while in the water.

[@RobertShroder]

Very nice. I saw you have a board on top of the ordinal flooring. What material did you use on that? Please share, thanks!

[@crabmaster8698]

Hi! I used regular plywood (I think 1/4" thick) for the flooring. Trace, with a marker, the original flooring outline onto the plywood and cut them. Paint the plywood with Flexseal, then glue outdoor carpet material for the topside. Sand down or cover plywood edges with carpet to prevent ouchies. Finish with cutting out an access hole for the inflatable keel.
