Two years later this motor is going strong ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
The carpet looks amazing
What materials did you use and how you did it?
Could you please tell us more about it?
Thanks
how long does the battery last? how far can it take you?
Thanks for watching, approximately 3.5 hrs.
I like your setup. Caring to add a canopy?
Anyone know a fast small motor that won't destroy the boat or the mount
They sell Motor mounts for these boats.. they're really only meant for trolling motors I think. I bought this boat at Academy Sports & the motor mount was only about $35 good luck ✌❤😊
@@Bridgez777 thank u I'm just looking for something fast and cheap
@@corypatterson3072 haha I hear ya! 💯👍
Im using a 3.5 and it works great. I think it can handle a 5hp buuuuut you need to modify the back as he did and I did.
@@InsertFXVlog Hi😊 I’m doing this myself & know nothing about boat motors etc.. Do u have any tips/advice on an Inexpensive trolling motor and small battery to buy? & What I could put battery On or IN for stability? I’m not ready to put a hard floor in, If I even do, so trying to think of a small area where the battery could sit. I plan to order the Intex motor mount & want to keep everything simple for quick easy setup. Ive used the boat as it comes 3-4x’s & really enjoy it. Easily launches from & beaches up on sandbar while kids swim, I would LOVE to not Have to paddle all over the lake! Lol 🥱 thanks 4 any input ✌️❤️😊
What if people splash water on the battery? Or the motor? Does it fail after that? And how do you charge the battery and how long does it last
Hii, I've never had any kind of boat before and I want to get a similar boat (Seahawk 4 cause I read it's more durable and sturdy) to drive if along the coast at the beach and maybe sometimes beach it, go lay on the beach for a bit, and drive the boat back home (I live next to a river that connects to the sea). Do you think a trolling motor would be powerful enough to make sure I don't get sucked onto the ocean by strong currents or some wind? It would usually just be me but maybe some passengers every now and then, but idk if I'd take them out to the beach so probably just me. Any advice? :)
id suggest a 40 pound motor if possible just to make sure but if you really need the 30 pound you can try putting some stick on fins on the bottom of the boat for extra control when your in rough waters (i know this works with kayaks but I'm not too sure with these inflatable boats)
Great video I dig it!☆♡✌💯
How do u get or make the carpet
Trolling motor + Pedal Boat + Boston Harbor!!!
Check this pedal boat mod out 👇🏾

why didn't you get the mariner 4? it's more heavy duty
Thanks for watching, agree 💯 % 👍
I own them both the excursion 5 is awesome for calm lakes like the one shown in the video as long as u don't over inflate it or drag it on the ground it's solid had mine 3 years no leaks used it about 10 times!!!
Question. I noticed that after transporting my Excursion 5 with the ratchet straps. It has become flaccid. Seems like the rubber/vinyl stretched. Did you experience the same?
what a sweet video!
What specs of battery did you use? Thank you.
Thanks for watching, I used marine type battery. You can get it from Walmart
@@memike9621 Hi again, what size in amps did you buy (ah)
@@markweatherall7437 30 amps
@@memike9621 I very much doubt it was only 30ah.. Infact there's no way on earth you would get 3-4 hours out of a 30ah battery even on speed 1
hello, can you advise me what cloth you used to cover the floor? Thank you
Thanks for watching, I used marine carpets(outdoor carpet would be fine)
How did you build the floor?
Thanks for watching. Please check out my other video. ua-cam.com/video/B25aGFyouFc/v-deo.html
Show! 👏💯👏
How many inches do you have the motor below the surface of the water in this video?
Thanks for watching. About 12”
@@memike9621 Ok thank you. 🙂
i like the bodem you have in the boat! Dit you made it by yourself?
Thanks for watching. Yes I did
Hi Mike, Great video! Now I want a boat.
How long have you been having the intex boat? Is the boat still working? Would you recommend it?
Any idea where I can find the Excursion 5? It seems it is sold out everywhere.
I just bought on ebay an hour ago at a premium. $289
The Tequila Hour I see it for around the same on Amazon. But my frugal heart won’t let me pay as much for it, ow that I know it was available for around $130 pre COVID. Soon hopefully. Enjoy.
@@vishalpmehta I'm really frugal also. I needed to get on the water this season, so I spent the extra $$$. If it last me at least 2 years, I won't regret it.
Vishal Mehta you still can get from amazon but the prices go up double/ triple because of covid19
Show us your battery what brand how many AH?
What r u using for a battery
Thanks for watching, I used marine type battery
how long does it take to inflate
Thanks for watching, with help from my kids 20 minutes
Sehr schön.
Gute Arbeit.
✌⛵🌊
hi .did you testid in sea or in a river?
what is the battery specification and how to charge?
Thanks for watching. Charge at home with battery charger and you can use any marine battery.
How many hours of duration have the batería?
@@selincanaguatysanchez5492 approximately 3.5 hrs
Thank you for the video.i just bought a Seahawk 3 and the same motor you have.looking forward to taking my grandson fishing.I can tell by your video you are a super dad!
Thank you and thanks for watching my video
hello! love the video is what I was looking for, but I have a question about the floor you have added, which materials have you used for it?
Thanks for watching. You should use lightweight marine plywood. It’s better quality
Shoot I got dizzy 🤪😁🤣
They're better than paddling.
Thanks for watching, agree👍
hi.how many Amp. hours (Ah) does you’re battery has?
I have Minn kota endura C2 34lbs 36shaft motor. Do you think a 70Ah battery will work?
Thanks for watching. I should
Did that cord come with the trolling motor?
Thanks for watching. No it didn’t
Love video...im about to launch probably next week ..had my boat for like 6 months but just got interested just got carpet and motor mount
Thanks enjoy
Looks FUN
Relaxing!
Hi there, brilliant video. Great memories for the kids 😻 Whats the total length of your motors cable please from motor to battery?
Thanks for watching, about 10 feet long.
@@memike9621 Ok thanks.
Does the motor and battery run ok with long cable. My motor only has 4 foot of cable (8AWG Cable) out of the box but I'd like to extend it so the battery could atleast reach the middle of the IE5.
@@memike9621 I was advised by a 12v electrician to keep the cable around 7ft because there could be a voltage drop. I'd like it 8ft or 9ft max, whats your thoughts?
@@markweatherall7437 it works fine for me but the electricians know best.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to extend the mount to the next holes?
EMT 1/2 inch. I used that one and it holds it even better
Thanks
Hi. Would that 30lb be enough for an Excursion 4 for 2 adults and 2 kids...? I see it moves pretty fast with you 3 on board. Which battery are u using? Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Actually there was 2adults and 2 kids on board, and I used marine battery that I got from Walmart for $64
@@memike9621 Hi. Update, I bought a 34lb/36in MinnKota. I'm powering it with a Group 24 Duracell HP24DC deep cycle battery. It proved to be amazing with two adults and two kids. Went camping for a weekend and the battery lasted the two days, about 2 hrs in the lake each day. Of course, I wasn't going at full sail 100% of the time, but on day 2 I was actually trying to discharge the battery... Thanks!
@@marcoantoniogrillomartin3931 how’s fun😊
Do you have a video how to build the board for the kayak? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I have not(been busy working lately)
