The Fish Hunter comes in 3 sizes, but the boats share the same features as we’ll outline below. Can the Fish Hunter make it onto my list of best SIBs money can buy? Let’s find out.
Are you the kind of fishing enthusiast who frequently plans a fishing trip with friends or family? Do you like vacationing near lakes and streams where you can get an opportunity to fish? If so, then the Angler bay inflatable boat may be what you need. My review of Airhead’s Angler Bay SIB is based on my findings after using the boat for 3 days on a long weekend at a calm lake.
If there are any lakes in your area that you visit, you will have undoubtedly seen Intex Seahawk boats out on the water. It is a favorite among families for easy, fun boating. I decided to write a review on the Seahawk inflatable boat after getting to use one for a day at a lake in Hungary. Here are my thoughts on this raft.
If you already have an Intex inflatable boat or are looking to get one soon, getting an electric trolling motor is a great upgrade.

The following review of the Intex Mariner 4 will highlight to you the various reasons that put the Mariner 4 among the best boats you can find on the market as far as strength, performance, and practicality are concerned. I have a lot of experience with this boat, since I own one. Naturally, I use a trolling motor with it, more on that later.

The Intex Excursion family of boats are definitely among the most popular boats on the market. The Excursion 5 is among the biggest boats you can find.

The following is a review of the Excursion 5, in which I’ll give you valuable insight into the features, specifications, and overall qualities that this raft offers on the water.

It has numerous advantages, makes your motorized boat faster & safer, and best of all, it is cheap. What is a hydrofoil?

A life vest, also known as life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD), is considered fundamental safety gear for boating and kayaking. If you’re out fishing, recreational boating, and doing various water sports, you and the kids in your SIB should always wear a life jacket. Life jackets are designed to keep one’s head above the water to prevent drowning. They are a must-have onboard your inflatable, but remember that it’s not enough to just stow them nearby. Most drowning accidents occur even when life vests are available nearby, but victims chose not to wear them because they know how …
