Question: Anybody glued the fish rod holder inserts that constantly pull out with the rod? We almost lost one the other day. It was in a shallow water so easy to fish out but any deeper and the insert would be gone. Just trying to figure out if there is ever need to have those separate. Also...
Welcome to the Mariner club. Yeah, even though prices are coming down a bit, a $20 plywood ain't going to happen anytime soon. I was at Home Depot the other day returning something and behind me in line was a guy returning just one 10ft 2x4. Considering that he was holding probably more than 3...
An update: I went to Home Depot (pretty much a year after I bought the boat) and asked if they can sign the printed Certificate of Origin. The customer service lady was actually surprised that they sell boats. I have explained that the process is pretty much the same as when they sell trailers...
I bought the Mariner 4 from Home Depot. The Intex website has a printable Certificate of Origin which I have already printed out. My question is with the first assignment. I was under impression that Intex would assign the boat to me but when I called them, they said that the first assignment...

I have read that you...
Anybody else that came up with a lightweight DIY floor? I have the stock floor and one made from plywood but even though it is two pieces, it is pretty heavy. Could use something lightweight but sturdy. I will not be mounting any chairs.
I have the Intex Mariner 4 inflatable boat. Bought it to take my two kids out on a local lakes. For now, I will paddle because can't register the boat due to the Covid-19. So in a meantime, I am looking for a very light outboard motor. The main brands are more than the cost of the boat but there...
