    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Question: Anybody glued the fish rod holder inserts that constantly pull out with the rod? We almost lost one the other day. It was in a shallow water so easy to fish out but any deeper and the insert would be gone. Just trying to figure out if there is ever need to have those separate. Also...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Welcome to the Mariner club. Yeah, even though prices are coming down a bit, a $20 plywood ain't going to happen anytime soon. I was at Home Depot the other day returning something and behind me in line was a guy returning just one 10ft 2x4. Considering that he was holding probably more than 3...

    Intex Mariner 4 - Certificate of Origin and first assignment question

    An update: I went to Home Depot (pretty much a year after I bought the boat) and asked if they can sign the printed Certificate of Origin. The customer service lady was actually surprised that they sell boats. I have explained that the process is pretty much the same as when they sell trailers...

I was under impression that Intex would assign the boat to me but when I called them, they said that the first assignment...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    I have the Mariner 4 and I also kayak a lot. Well, paddling a kayak is easier and will keep a straight line better. Mariner though is not as bad as flat bottom pontoon rafts that go all over the place as the Mariner has an inflatable keel that helps. I have no problem rowing and navigating the...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    I found a blog post somewhere where a guy used some sort of corrugated plastic (3 layers) for his floor. I think it is called Coroplast or something like that. The problem with this material is that very few glues work on it. Pretty much just a superglue and I do not see myself buying 150 of...

    14 lbs thrust trolling motor for inflatable boat - enough?

    A friend gave me an older Minn Kota trolling motor that has 14 lbs. of thrust. The motor is in good condition and works but before spending money on the battery, I would like to know if the low lbs of thrust rating would even move the Intex Mariner 4 inflatable boat I have. I have read that you...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Anybody else that came up with a lightweight DIY floor? I have the stock floor and one made from plywood but even though it is two pieces, it is pretty heavy. Could use something lightweight but sturdy. I will not be mounting any chairs.

    Is Gamefisher 1.75HP any good and suitable for inflatable?

    I have the Intex Mariner 4 inflatable boat. Bought it to take my two kids out on a local lakes. For now, I will paddle because can't register the boat due to the Covid-19. So in a meantime, I am looking for a very light outboard motor. The main brands are more than the cost of the boat but there...
