Best Cheap Inflatable Boats (Under $1000) 

i love my intex mariner 3. much thicker than their other boats. and has a floor. it handles rapids and rocks great. just need a cheap gas outboard. where i live no reg number needed on 10 footers.

I have LOVED my Bris Kaboat. I've had it absolutely everywhere, including some places with some extreme waters, and haven't had one problem. I dig my Bris!

I have a Camping Survivals 10ft Dinghy, and can absolutely confirm they are absolutely brilliant. Extremely well made with side protection rubber straps. You can use upto a 10hp motor. I have no issues with it in chop, the storage bag is big enough to get it back into, very strong trans. It's an absolute bargain. Pack size is approx 800mm wide 500mm high and 40omm wide and weighs 30kg

I've taken my Mariner 4 out once so far, with 2 people. I think 3 would be fairly comfortable and 4 adults would border on silly. Probably Mariner 3, 4, Excursion 5 you should just go ahead and subtract one person from listed capacity. Which I pretty much could sense before I bought it, which is why I got the 4 instead of the 3. I do like the boat.

Ive had the Intex Excursions 5 a few years ago. Test ran it with the Intex motor mount, 55 lbs trolling motor & 12v marine battery. It works. Ran it in two lakes but mostly in a harbor. I was stupid enough once to take it out of the bay following some touring kayaks... Yeah not wise. Fortunately I made it back to the protected part of the harbor safely and learned my lesson rather quick. Only custom thing I did with it was add a wooden floor and some clip on lights in case I wanted to fish at night. It lasted me 17 outings and 2 punctures within a year and 7 months. The floor seams finally have way and came apart. Ask far as I was concerned the boat served it's purpose of being my first water craft to test if I really wanted to do the whole boat thing. It was $130 + $150 motor + $100 battery so for under $400 it worked for me. I think my future purchase will be the same 14' bris kaboat you have but in grey. I've been keeping an eye on it for years but your the first person to make a more comprehensive video on it I've seen here. Thanks for the video.

update I finally got my survivals camping boat registered it was a bit of a hassle. The first time I called and went in they said no way. Then I called again and they said no problem, so don't give up try again if they don't do it the first time.

i was gonna buy it, thank you

Well this guy obviously has done no research on intex models. I have a sea hawk 3 with a 2.5hp eir cooled mud skipper and especially on choppy water it goes very well. I even had a boat speed past me and cause a massive wave and it handle well and kept a decent balance. Ive just ordered an intex mariner 4 and I can only imagine how good thats going to handle compared to the sea hawk. The intex mariner 4 is lagit built like a white water raft and can handle class1-3 rapids. There are videos on them and even people managing to put 6hp engine aswell

Thank you for all the info!

Which would you recommend for a 2 day river float & camp

I did just that with the receipt from seller and they will not give me a number or register it either. Different states have different rules and NC is full of stupid laws. There is no good reason for them to not register it, it would only bring in more money for them. I don’t understand.

Saturns are 1.2 thick bris is 0.9mm

U only need to register the boat if ur electric motor is over 10 hp. Rarely is

I was able to register my survivals camping dinghy no problems. Even got a legit title, you just have to tell them you need a hull number and they will issue one

221 subscribers?! Dang! On the road to 1K

Do you maintenance your boat? Like uv protectant?

I am gonna buy a inflatable boat with a motor for the next summer, my budget is 500 dollar all together, do you think i could get anything for that, do you have any recomendations if so?

buy cheap buy it over and over again lol.. cheap becomes expensive and lack of good customer support... not saying buy the most expensive but spend the money a bit and check for reviews..

6:01 does intex have hull number I bought a sea search and it doesnt have a hull number

dude help me out, for bay fishing that pretty close to shore, would you say 14ft is better handling the water vs 10ft? I'm also preferring to be able to easily transport the boat (e.g. load up on top of the pickup truck),

What motor do you recomended for the intex excursion 5?

Hey I’m looking for a boat cheap is for when I use on the bay or a lake to go out fishing do you have any suggestions for me

But didn't u just make a video saying why not too buy these boats come on man you confused
