Intex Excursion Pro Kayak: Professional Series Fishing Kayak
Deep Dive
Description
The Intex Excursion Pro Kayak is a professional series fishing kayak designed for durability and performance. Constructed with a super-tough laminate material and polyester core, this kayak offers high strength and durability while remaining lightweight and portable.
The kayak features high-pressure inflation, providing extra rigidity and stability on the water. The high-pressure spring-loaded valves allow for easy inflation and fast deflation, saving you time and effort.
This kayak is built with a 3-Ply super tough construction that utilizes a high molecular PVC. This material makes the kayak unaffected by gasoline, oil, and saltwater and highly resistant to damage from abrasion, impact, and sunlight. It also allows for more air pressure, enhancing rigidity.
The Intex Excursion Pro Kayak comes with several premium features to enhance your kayaking experience. It includes two specially designed removable skegs for maneuverability in deep and shallow waters, two floor-mounted footrests for added comfort, and two integrated recessed fishing rod holders for angling enthusiasts. Additionally, it comes with two adjustable bucket seats and a removable and adjustable mounting bracket for additional accessories such as GPS systems and fish finders.
You'll find ample storage space in the bow and stern of the kayak, along with stainless steel D rings for tying down dry bags and gear. With a weight capacity of 400 lbs, you can bring along everything you need for your fishing or paddling adventure.
The construction of the Intex Excursion Pro Kayak ensures superior durability and long-lasting performance, making it a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The kayak also comes with 86-inch Aluminum Oars and a high-output pump, providing you with all the necessary equipment to hit the water right away.
Now let's address a few frequently asked questions:
Q: Can anyone who has used this boat several times over a period of months verify durability?
A: I think the durability is questionable. I bought 2, one of them had a puncture on the 3rd use. All the seats began losing air at the weld seams within 4-6 uses on the other one. Had one seat replaced that also leaked after the 2nd use. 150 and 195 lb kayakers, I don't think this should be happening, and I believe it speaks to the level of durability on this product.
Q: How much does it weigh?
A: The Intex Excursion Pro Kayak weighs 35 lbs.
Q: Can you use this for one person?
A: Yes! The seats are separate blow-ups and movable. They stay in place with strips of Velcro sewn into the floor. There is a single paddler configuration where the seat Velcro's in about mid-boat and the pole holders are right behind for trolling.
Q: Does this product come with the two oars and hand pump shown in the photo?
A: Yes, the Intex Excursion Pro Kayak comes with the two oars and the hand pump.
