"The quality of this boat is actually pretty good. Sturdy and durable. The only problem we found was that the oars are not proper length. Typically each oar is supposed to be 2-3 times the width of the boat. There is a formula to figure out proper oar length. The oars that come with all Intex boats is about 4 ft. The width of the boats vary. But basically the oars are only decent for the kids 2 person boats. And all the bigger boats, the oars are drastically smaller than they should be. And as a result you will work 5 times harder to row and maintain control of your strokes. Ideally there should be two sets of 7-9 ft oars for the 4+ person boats, 4 oars total for each boat. But you can get away with one set of 7-9 ft oars per boat, 2 oars total. "

"I did not receive the color I requested even though I sent an email with my order number requesting the blue boat instead of the red boat. That said, the boat is absolutely excellent! It will fit 3 adults (200lbs) safely, that is just my opinion. I took the boat out with me and my girlfriend and our two small dogs and we had a blast in the San Diego Harbor. I replace the floor with a 1/2 piece of plywood that I waterproofed and then wrapped in indoor/outdoor carpet. This allowed me to mount a bass boat seat. This is an excellent product and the construction is very sturdy. I am looking forward to many weekend trips relaxing and fishing from my Mariner 4! "

"Same as the review before me...Boat is exactly what I wanted except for the color. The color is really not relative to me, but feel like you should get what you order/pay for...Seeing that it happened before without any shipping QA, I'm assuming the company puts customer satisfaction in second place to sale..."

"This boat was the best investment iv'e ever made. Took my buddy to a lake for the first ride, and it made our summer the best one yet. This tank can support a large cooler full of drinks and food, two grown men, a 10 lb anchor, a 65 lb battery, a trolling motor, 2 life jackets, and a dry box. I could not believe how easy it was to set up whilst providing a comfortable "water couch" like experience. We were on the water for 10 hours and had to be ripped off to go home and live a normal life. This boat has made me acquire a hatred for land. Its too dry. The fact that I can bring a buddy or two in my small sedan, drive out to a lake, and rip this bad boy out of my trunk and have it set up and ready to go within 20 minutes is unbelievable. The price is just baffling for the product you get. Intex could increase the price on this boat, and I would buy it again for no reason at all. Maybe hang one above my mantle. The thick rubber edge guard is made of an extraterrestrial material that allowed us to bump into stones in which we were sure each one was gong to be the last. After our trip last weekend, we have decided we will go every Saturday, and I do not imagine it getting old. I sought to buy an electric air-pump but the high-output pump they provide is honestly good enough. Its like 1-2 minutes each section if you just power through it. It makes the reward of getting on the water that much better. You know when a product provides its own carrying case, it always seems they sized it to the vacuum sealed packaging, and you can never get it to fit? (e.g a tent) NOT the bag Intex provides. If you just read the instructions and provide the boat with the care they recommend, you will have no problems at all. Cleaning it is a small chore but its part of the luxury of having a boat. I laid it out in the backyard and just hit it with the hose, and used a soft sponge to rub off any stuck dirt. Let it dry out in the sun for a bit, then pack it away. I don't imagine this boat ripping or popping unless it is the users fault. The floor is even extremely durable. I considered making a wood floor like all of the mods you see on google images, but I don't see a reason to after trying it. We were mesmerized at the fact you could set a full, open-drink can on one of the floor slats, grab the edges of the boat and vigorously try to rock it back and forth and the can would barely budge. Even if you hate the water, get this boat. The only reason we got wet was by jumping in the lake. We had a blast dropping anchor, throwing on our life jackets jumping in, and just floating on our backs while holding the boats grab line to stay in place. If you're thinking about buying this boat, just get it. You will not regret a thing."

"It's been a couple weeks since we got our Mariner, we've taken it out a few times already. It take less than 15 minutes for my teenage daughter and I to get it ready, to include the motor mount and motor. It blows up in 5 separate sections, all are easy access and quick to do. Spent several hours out on the lake each time with no issues. We had 3 members in the boat, once you get to 4 it does get a little crowded. Overall for the price it is a quality boat, we are looking forward to using in many more times! "

"Really disappointed on my product me and my wife were really locking forward to getting the same one on the AD but it was the opposite color in red we don’t like red."
