Intex Inflatable with 55 lbs trolling motor

[cutdownsideways]

cool boat, how much was it?

[Mamarkbar]

and battery dead.

[chevytilend454]

i see you still havent got a real boat you jackwagon

[ip0nedyou]

what battery did you use?

[Chalax92]

i thoght a motor was woing to troll you somehow..like

*turn on*

you: yaaaay!

*turns off*

[TheXJthatCould]

i got a minn kota classic 28 for 40 bucks at a yard sale, came with warranty and all even had the box like brand new the guy used it twice and then needed a more powerful motor so he got a prowler, im happy with my purchase and im thinking about installing it on my yak

[KameradPimper]

nice video bro! i checking german ebay out and bought the same boot with a same motor..

thx for inspiration

[samljer]

i use the 30lb model of that motor, moves along perfectly on my boat

which is a Intex Seahawk 4. i get about 2mph.

[cdltpx]

A canopy of solar panels and that thing would be great.

[aerialviper1]

Nice going! I'm sure 50 lbs moves it along pretty good. My motor is the same as in the video (55 lbs). I doubt there is much difference between 50 and 55 lbs. I have only gotten 3.7 mph out of mine. Inflatable rafts have so much drag since most don't have V-hulls. Have you checked the speed on yours?

[aerialviper1]

I thought that roughly 43 pounds of thrust was 1 hp?

[97markviii]

@aerialviper1 From what I understand 75lb thrust is closer to 1hp. I just got a 50lb trolling motor and I like it.

[aerialviper1]

Nice video! I have the Minn Kota Endura 55 (approx. 1.3 hp) on the Excursion 4 and used the GPS to test the speed. On the # 5 forward setting, we maxed out at 3.7 mph with 3 people on board. It's not going to break any speed records but I am real happy with it so far. I am trying to figure out how to make a floor and canopy without breaking the bank. Any suggestions?

[97markviii]

@aerialviper1 55lb is closer to 3/4hp

[epiclywierdvids]

@97markviii its still awesome

[Pesadelo80]

Its not too strong, imagine +3 people how slow it would be.

Hei man, do u think it could handle with a stronger support a 5hp motor behind ?

[ChrisW12208]

I would hate to register one of those and have the sucker pop :-(

[jman432432]

how long does the battery last for that

[TheRugby18]

i think ive given u bout 124 views!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRugby18]

i love this vid

[adasilva26]

where do you keep your battery for the motor?

[jolneisantos]

muito bom esse motor,

quantos kilos pesa esse seu barco?

obrigado.

[benkenser]

@jolneisantos

amigo, no boat to America four you

[Mykola40]

@benkenser :)

[NCWC916]

@benkenser lmao....that shit was HELLA funny. Your a dick tho....but a funny dick!

[washn2hiphop40]

Real quick, can you explain to me exactly what kind of battery you have? Also how to you connect the battery to the motor? Do you use a breaker in between? Do you have a separate starter and a marine deep cycle battery? Please im hunting for information as to how to set my boat up correctly thanks.

[mtaran02]

Thanks for the video. Ive been looking to buy a trolling motor and this gives a good idea of what 55 lbs of thrust will do for me. By the way, you should set your "Comments" opt to approve first. That way you can shi* can the morons before their comments show up on your vid. Good luck :o)

[djlyric]

how fast does it go

[Laputa4rs]

Thank you this was very helpful =)

[brian93ist]

its about as fast as you can walk seems like

[Estebanfuturo]

do you have to register the boat because of the motor?

[SGguitar34]

@Estebanfuturo no



[8tgr]

thanks for posting.

[completely6125random]

can you use a normal 12volt car battery?

[brian93ist]

@completely6125random i think you can my friend does on his

[aimeeblake099]

@Camaromaster242 Who the hell are you to talk?? Buying a boat like does not mean you are a redneck! You have no reason to attack someone for using their money wisely to get an affordable solution to go fishing and for your information you Asshole, buying everything including boat, motor mount, and motor is not cheap so get bent and if you don't like his video dont fucking watch it!!

[metra0808]

you my fucking person you are not going to get to a island with that morter!!! stupit!LOL drop dead!! i heard your mom puts a bag over your head befor she kises you good night!!!!

[TheRugby18]

how many people were there and wot was the overall weight. also how long is the boat

thnx going to buy one so i was wonderin

[b1r9n4n4]

what is the line floating on the back for

[thedeadbeats]

dude awesome setup... can't wait to buy this motor for the spring... i heard the weedless prop works miracles. i have a maybe 15lb thrust one and i'm ready to throw it off the cliff.

[Manonthe3up]

The trolling motor goes:

"Hey, I'm the best motor! All the others can suck it! Trolololololo..."

[PILLOWPRODUCTIONS100]

i realy got for 99 but sports athority was getting rid of them because it was costing them alot of money so ya

[rals301]

How long dose the battery last for on a full charge?

[ffsnonickleft]

@rals301 110Ah battery it last 14h on 1, 12h on 2, 8h on 3 and 2.5 h on 5... Depends on how heavy your boat is i guess.

I use that motor on a mackinaw156 and i usually use 2-3 when i fish and 5 to get out or in faster.

[PILLOWPRODUCTIONS100]

i got the minkota 55 pound thrust endura it was $250 but i got it on sale for $185 and the trolling motor work like a charm on my 10footer i gps it and i went 11 mph

[jsizzle4o8]

@PILLOWPRODUCTIONS100 where?

[tiha8111]

finnally a good video of the excursion with motor, now I might purch the set. good job

[cubbiproductions]

about 40-45 lbs of thrust equals about one horsepower

[MBazzani11]

anyone know about how fast a this would go on an 80 pound boat..i figured 5th gear is about 0.8 horsepower

[mustafafaiez]

Nice video... Can you do like a side speed test like the one briaddudeathome has... i bet its pretty fast.

[boatbros23]

how do you have the wire connnected to the battery...(aligator clips, ring clips) and are you using a fuse?

[Liudazas]

do you know by any chance how long does the battery last on speed 5? Thanks

[boatbros23]

@Liudazas 1.5 hours

[mpwelk]

"Here we are at zero" hahahah

[s6675]

how long is the shaft on yours?

[jobu88]

Have you had any problems with the motor mounting bracket? I've had folks tell me that MinnKota transom-mounts have a bad habit of breaking at the mounting bracket.

Thanks for posting the video, I'm about to get a trolling motor for my SeaEagle.

[boatbros23]

are you only allowed eletric motors on that reservoir? have you fished at hopatcong?

[jbrailphotography]

does the battery create a dip in the boat (does it tip, is it noticeable)

[boatbros23]

i just bought a 55lb minn kota maxxum, it is variable speed and has lots of power.

[reniV1]

I just bought a 30lb minn kota trolling motor but i do not know where to buy a good battery for it. Can you please refer me to a website or a store? I would really appreciate it. Thank You.

[bobbisax]

hey guy! thanks for posting your video. I must say, I'm really impressed with how much power that thing puts out.

This motor will definitely serve my purpose. Besides, the speed is perfect for trolling. I'm getting the hots for the trout at the local lakes. Look out!

[79redangus]

Any 100lb. thrust on a light boat or kayak like the commander 120?

[SweetHina]

I got a group 27 AGM bettery from cabelas it has 1200ah and I will used it on my zoom 310 aero By zodiac it 10' foot inflatable boat and I just got the same trolling motor like your I will post video someday thank.

[nikhomk]

hi say if you used speed 5 how long it last on your battery? and how big is your battery? thank you

[MizDaWizDa]

@nikhomk when I use speed 5 I get about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from the 200 ah battery

[SweetHina]

@nikhomk I got a group 27 an AGM battery from cabelas brand new never used it has 1200 ah and I will put on my zoom 310 aero by zodiac and I got the same trolling motor like your 55lb thrust.I hope to post my video some day .thank

[elcielo1981]

How deep do you know to set it?

[stevenpowell100]

watch those intex inflatables , they go pop and you go down , with all your gear on lake floor , trust me l know , save and buy a kayak

[previdi]

Please, answer me what is the name of this motor, the model, brand, etc, etc, etc

Thanks!!

[luke9701]

lol are you serious? its about the first thing he said. its a Minn Kota 55lbs thrust. I could be wrong but im pretty sure its a fresh water troller.

[MizDaWizDa]

@previdi motor is a minn kota endura 55 thrust

[boatbros23]

how heavy is the battery for that motor?

[warspite2]

I have an intex excursion 4 boat running a minn kota 30# with a 120amp hr 24 size battery. My battery is fairly heavy, weighs about 50lbs. My motor runs LONG, can go 12-14hrs on the lowest setting easy with a single charge. When I am in the open water lake, I normally run at mid speed which is 3. This is lake ponchartrain too, 2nd largest lake in the USA! I keep the battery in a minn kota power center box, I check the meter off and on to see how much battery is left. Great setup for mine!

[boatbros23]

how heavy is the battery for that motor and how ofter do you have to replace it????

[AmericansSexualPreds]

buy a fuckg low hp engine better wtf man

[leviterande]

whats da speed

[nonfatcat]

nice...

[kelita274]

great little motor

[wolfgangadam]

im 13 years old and i just bought a 10 ft. aluminum john boat and a 55lb thrust minn kota trolling motor, will it move just as fast as the video?

[USAirwaysPilotA330]

@wolfgangadam it probably would or maybe a little faster but you are not going to control it I hope! I am 14 years old and I am getting my license for it! I think you have to be over 13 or so check with your parents and/or the Bait and Tackle shops. You would probably go faster though because of the length of your jonboat. I move about 15 MPH with my Minn Kota Riptide(Saltwater Engine) with my 12 ft aluminum boat. You have fun and stay safe kid.

[wolfgangadam]

@USAirwaysPilotA330 I got my license and registered it so now i'm legal and it does go a lot faster than this boat.

[USAirwaysPilotA330]

@wolfgangadam oh okay. Well, have fun and good luck fishing if you are. And is your engine a freshwater engine or a Saltwater engine? Anyway, happy holidays and Happy New Year! Stay Safe! and don't get too close to the blades of the engine my father had to get something(Which was located right by the blades) and almost got his hand cut off but he just deep sliced it but he's fine right now though! Bear that in mind about Safety.

[wolfgangadam]

@USAirwaysPilotA330 It's a freshwater engine and thanks for the tips.

[MizDaWizDa]

@wolfgangadam I dont think so...this is such a light rubber ducky boat that an aluminium boat will go slower i think

[BuckFastZombie]

Hey! Just bought an excursion 5 intex inflatable. Saw a comment about them popping and going down ( frightening! ) Is the boat quite sturdy when you are on the water, cant really find a review anywhere, but pictures show it with 5 people on board. Has it served you well?

[warspite2]

@BuckFastZombie hey man, they are great boats and no they don't pop. i have an excursion 4 and took the thing all over the place from big lakes to small waterways. i run a 30lb thrust and I have never had a whole punctured in mine.

[wolfgangadam]

@MizDaWizDa Actually its a bit faster than this one. I'm not sure if it's just that I'm lighter or the boat is.

[Moe7133]

I have a question. What is faster, 2x50lb or 1x80lb? I'll be using it on a 16feet Jon boat.

[vivitar45]

get a conoe it might get alot better the a dingy

[6T9Udotcom]

How long would a battery last with this motor? how many hours before having to charge it?

[arasaka2020tm]

12v 100Amp battery will last about 5-6 hours on low speed, and 2+ hours on high speed

[timothywch]

I am planning to get the sevylor fish hunter and a minn kota trolling motor. Do I need to buy the MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center? Does the motor include a battery?

[Odalisca1]

do i need boat registration to use in this lake ? I have just boat safety certificate and i live like 20 minutes from there. thanks...

[ozzyozb]

I have this boat and it would take a lot more than a hook to puncher it. I just purchased a MInn Kota 30 lb thrust for mine and a Sears die hard marine deep cycle battery and a power station case for the battery and the mounting kit for the boat...I'm waiting for the mounting kit to arrive this Tuesday. I have an old lid to a large cooler I'm going to use as a base for the battery to sit on...I hope this adventure works out for me...

[fishfreaks]

do you think that if you acedentaly poke the boat with a hook or something it would pop

[villainousturtle]

Can you recharge the battery?

[rangerbass519]

Yes you can recharge the battery hahaha. If you couldn't you'd have to spend 150 bucks on a battery every week!!! You just need a charger.

[brendanwaas]

i have that same boat. how did u mount a trolling motor to it

[harryfishnutz]

I was wondering how a 14 ft jon boat would work with this motor ?? I did find a Minn Kota that was 82 lbs thrust but it would require 2 batteries run in series for 24 volts. It would be insane tho and sounds like it would be fun as shit

[miles4630]

hi man so i wanted to get a boat like what u have wat is the name of it and what kind of motor is that

[07tundra6in]

damn that thing really gets ya scootin

[gkcsales]

hey looks like a good vid. I just got the intex 5 for a steal of a price. 89 dollars. :) brand new. I can't wait to take it out on the lake. I'm looking to buy a 55lb motor for it. Its not going to haul ass on the lake, but will help keep the day fun and relaxing.

[kalmanizer]

@gkcsales

Hi where did you buy the Intex Excursion 5 for $89?

Thank you sooo much!! :)

[Dmaster727]

@kalmanizer it is more than $89 more like $170 or $200

[tiha8111]

@gkcsales  I am looking into getting the ex 5 with a 55 trolling motor. how well does it work together? Is it to heavy for this raft?

[XpillchillX]

That is so cool! Nice video! How long will the battery last do you think? On one charge.

[30GB]

id hook up 3 batteries in parallel

[Marcusthegladiator]

How long will the battery last?

[Bennyass199912alsmts]

wicked

[JigoLigo]

Nice presentation. Thanks for sharing. I ordered a 30 lbs model but did not receive it yet. Now I'm thinking of getting a 55 lbs instead. :(

[LocustsOfSteel]

Heaven... if there is one, this would be it for me.

[Bennyass199912alsmts]

do you need a skippers license

[bojons911]

they do to have freshwater 101 lbs

[MizDaWizDa]

i got a 120ah at sams club for around $70

[lucifer1981]

hi, I wish to buy a motor with the same amount of thrust, can you tell me roughly how fast it goes?

Thanks

[MizDaWizDa]

3.6 miles per hour tops with a gps and fully loaded.

[lucifer1981]

thanks, it looks faster though

[Chai07]

what size boat is that? 12ft?

[jaxkewl]

where did u get that fishing pole holder for the boat? did that come with the intext?

[MizDaWizDa]

comes with the boat

[stefancraitza]

Heloo guys, I have an Intex Challenger 300, I have been looking allover for an engine mounting, can you tell me where can i get one !?

Thanks,

Stefan

[noahasalzman]

Thanks for the great notes. I just purchased an excursion 5 and a minn kota maxxum 55 based on the video and feedback. One question (initially posted by medallo41) that hasn't been answered..."where do i put a battery in an inflatable boat (Excursion 5 with no battery pouch). isn't too heavy? do i need to put something below it or something?

[medallo41]

yes, the inflatable bottom is very durable, but the most care should be taken. I advice you to put a light piece of wood, or a thick piece of cardboard under the battery. What you want to do is make the wood/cardboard piece larger than the battery itself, to more evenly spread out the weight of the batery a little more efficienly. Now dont go buying the REALLY heavy batteries if you dont have a floorboard, which you can make by buying marine plywood cutting it into 2 or 3 parts, wraping

[medallo41]

wraping it in that plastic covering often used in airports to wrap luggage. After this step has been done, you could staple marine or outside carpet onto it. OR you could just take the easy way and buy the floorboard. Again, make sure you have something underneath the battery, these boats are very durable, yet extreme care should be taken in order to prolonge its lifetime. Thanks, and if you have any questions please ask.

[theshipman]

One question: Do they make motor mount motors that put out 100 lbs of thrust? If so, what kind of voltage do they require?

[medallo41]

There are 101 lbs of thrust motors out there, these are usually used for saltwater fishing, not freshwater, but water is water so whereever you want to use it would be fine. Now, you wouldnt want to put one of these on one of these inflatable boats. They are usually, if not all the time 36 volts, and really expensive, think $900+. You need a BIG deep discharge battery if not two.

[nabgilby]

I have had my Excursion 5 person for a week. Unfortunately my motor is a min kota 101 lb thrust, too much thrust too heavey, and too many batteries for this boat. It pulls down the back of the boat an the motor ends up titled under the boat. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried a 101 lb thrust on an excursion 5 with success or should I just give it up already.

[medallo41]

can I ask you where you got your Excursion 5, or where I could get it other than the internet, like a store.

[nabgilby]

I got it from the internet, amazon in fact. Couldn't find it in a store.

[KarenchikJan]

What kind of battery do you have? How long does it last you on different speeds? Thanks

[dcataldo1]

he doesnt respond much, but i happen to have just bought my battery last night for the same exact boat and motor, if you have a Sears near you, i'd reccomend a - Diehard Marine Deep Cycle battery, 200 min. Reserve Capacity, 115 Amp at 20 hr. rate, excellent price, i got it for $104.99. This battery will last me over 2 hours on one charge, ( not using it continously and on highest speed)

[KarenchikJan]

Thank you very much for the response. I am debating between Sevylor HF360, Seahawk II, and the Excursion 5. What I like about the E 5 is that it is wider and looks for spacious and of course the lower price. But what I am concerned with is the material it is made of. The other two, especially the seahawk II, I believe are made of tougher material.

What will your response be to what I stated above? Are you overall satisfied with the boat and the motor?

Thank you very much in advance.

[dcataldo1]

Alright, read carefully, I'll compare HF and E5 for you, E5 = wider, cheaper, tough PVC

HF360= less wide, more expensive, you have to buy the "boat boot" and oars thats $90 total. The motor mount is also $10 more. I'd say get rid of the 360, go with the excursion or seahawk, if your concerned with price, then by all means go with E5, but durability, is all up to but i wouldnt get the HF360, in my opinion, but hope that helped, and the motor is great! Have any more questions comment me back :)

[KarenchikJan]

Thank you for the response. I had my heart set on the E5 and you comments just convinced me. I found the battery you suggested on sears website and will stop by the local store to purchase one. How do you figure out that this battery will last you >2hrs? ...I am also considering other Endura motors. Now, about the charger. Can you use any kind or are there specific parameters I should look for? Any model suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your help.

[dcataldo1]

Well, divide 55 lbs for example, divided by the amp hours, say 115 for the one i reccomended, 55/115, will last over 2hours on a 55lbs thrust and running continuosly

[dcataldo1]

Enudras are excellent, great quality, i reccomend 55 lbs youll be happier with more speed

[medallo41]

I have a Sevylor Super Caravelle. Its 11 feet long. I am looking to buying a 30 lb thrust trolling motor over at bass pro s, and the battery. But what kind of battery do i need, or shold i say, the one that last the longest? and my other question is. where do i put a battery in an inflatable boat. isn't too heavy? do i need to put something below it or something? and what about the charger, or can i just go to an autoshop close by where they have this machine to charge batteries? PLease TELL ME

[medallo41]

i do have a quaetion and hopefully you could answer it. Im debating between a Sevylo 11" Super Caravelle, an Intex Excursion 5, and an Intex Mariner 4. I want something durable, confortable, something I could take to the beach and to the lake. I am willing to pay up to 330 which is the price for the mariner. Which one do you recommend the most and second most. thanks, and anything i should know you can always tell me.

[dcataldo1]

you said you already had a super caravelle..... no doubt, go with the marier 4, if your not getting a motor, not only does the mariner have a hardbottom floor, ir has stronger material than both of those. If you buy a motor and want something dependable, no doubt go with the intex excursion 5. i am very pleased with mine

[medallo41]

yes i gave the caravelle to my cousin who came to visit me from chicago. I was debating over if i shouldjust buy another one, or another kind. But thankyou, though, hope you have fun in the water@!!

[dcataldo1]

thnks, i will... but whatever suits you is the one you should get

[a0078]

The motor Minn Kota Endura 55

[a0078]

Thx for video

[atefali]

could u please tell me whats the name of the brand for the motor and also the model. i have an excursion 5 and im looking for a suitable motor. cheers

[dcataldo1]

you can't be serious... read the description, Minn Kota 55, thats the brand and model.....

[callmebigpapa]

LOL .....i laughed so hard at that comment.

[dcataldo1]

why did i make a mistake or because of his stupidity? lol jw

[a0078]

The motor Minn Kota Endura 55

[luck37]

Hey I just got this boat, thinking about getting a motor, would you rec this motor? also where did you get your mounting kit? I was wondering if I could just make one myself.

[afivestartragedy]

obviously i'm not the poster of this vid, but i know a lot of people who make their own mounting kits for these inflatables. i wouldn't, cuz i'm not that crafty with tools, but it has been done and it's possible. i saw a guy who did one for a sevylor for about 9 dollars worth of lowe's materials. the mount he would have had to buy was 50 bux.

[MizDaWizDaMiz]

but i spent like 39 bucks on mine and to save 30 dollars and go through the hassle of making one is not worth it to me, though. If you are handy, I guess it could be fun. I prefer to get out there and relax.

[Graybunch]

That was cool!!!! how fast do you think you were going? how much was you boat and where did you get it? how many lbs will it hold?

[MizDaWizDaMiz]

Amazon. Boat:$125,

Dick's. Motor $165 (with rebate),

Holds up to 1000lbs

and speed was about walking speed

[luck37]

What type of batery did you buy? Isn't there also cost of the motor mount? I just took my Excursion on the water rowing it, but I think I'll need a motor to get some good fishing.

[MizDaWizDa]

120ah deep cycle

[MizDaWizDa]

I have never actually run out of battery. I use a 125 amp hour deep cycle and it will go on high speed for a log log time, 2 or 3 hours I assume.

Warning: the battery is heavy and will need to be placed on the cushion of the boat so as to not puncture the bottom chamber. This boat was not really "designed" to have a 50 pound battery in it.
