Bought an intex sea hawk 3 and just tried out my new intex mariner 4. Used a 4hp outboard on it and holy crap it planed like something different. It got really rocky out there and it was around class II currents but it just some how plowed through them. Thought I was'nt going to make it back to my car which was about 10 minutes away but it somehow made it. Worst that happened was I got wet.How has this thing so strong?
>>2755938>It got really rocky out there and it was around class II currentsIt manufactured as a white water raft. If you do research they can handle up to class 3.This raft isn't a terrible model. My friend had one and it was just as solid as my newport vessell raft
>>2755938To be honest they're good for the price and pretty unique for their build i.e being able to smash through rough waters, how it sits like no other boats doBut don't expect to put anything more than a 4hp on it, hence why I bought a SIB form Boatworld which can handle 20 hp which smashed through anything
good god. I hope you're wearing a life jacket
>>2755938I wouldn't recommend these intex boats. I had a sea hawk 3 as well with a 2.5hp air cooled outboard which was basically a Honda trimmer with a propellor and I got stranded like it was some kind fo Bermuda triangle situation. I could go north western side of the river but when I tried to go the South Eastern direction id stop at a certain point and then my motor who switch offIt came down to the major fact that there was just too much drag on the boat and the engine also was not strong enough Id get a Bris or something
I have one of these they're pretty good, I put a 6hp and it's extremely fast. I have a custom made engine mount for it
