Anyone got one of these? I'm thinking of buying an Intex Excursion 5 for use on our local river and wondered if anyone had previous experience of them, good and/or bad?

I don't but had to google it

The Boat


You tube clip

What about tractor tire inner tube? I think that would be much more fun, you glue canvas to the bottom and sit in it

Looks a bit weedy. Stearns make very sturdy and stable inflatables. I have one of their canoes and it is superbly designed and made. I'd definately think again before going on the water in a cheap boat.

does look rather puncture prone

my dad had an inflatable for the diving club he ran and it was made of very tough fabric, we had a lot of fun in that thing, it had two large mercury engines use to get airborne

I do remember getting very wet
