## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this raft to transport dogs to the shoreline for poty breaks?**
A: I can only tell you our dogs played with it in our pool and their toe nails poked a hole in it!

**Q: What type of connection is needed to inflate the boat?**
A: I use a small plug-in pump, also made by Intex,  that I bought for an inflatable bed. It does the job in under 5 minutes. A pump with a connector to a car's cigarette lighter also works. You will need the adapter that fits in the boat's inflating tubes.

**Q: Is it safe for river tubing**
A: I would probably not use it for river tubing unless it was a very calm river. We purchased this raft to take out on a pond and the first trip it got a hole before we even use it. The best we could figure is it got caught by a briar on the way. If one small briar put a hole in it,  I don't know if it would hold up to any rocks or branches that may be in a river.

**Q: Does this boat come with oars?**
A: Depends on which model and options you select...
Explorer 100 only has a "boat only" option.
Explorer 300 only has a "boat set" option.
Explorer 200 had both.
The boat sets come with oars and hand pump.

Great for kids

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap Thrills? I'll say!
*by S***T on September 22, 2019*

Drawbacks? Sure. As many reviewers have pointed out this is no cigar boat. Or kayak, as far as that goes. It won't get you anywhere fast. Everything, and I mean everything, will scoot right by you. And even before you hit the drink you're going to be spending upwards of fifteen minuets or so just inflating this. And that goes for deflating this crazy little Looney Tunes raft when you're done, too. Does that also mean that you’ll also notice its neon orange sides tend to sag a bit over the course of, say, a hour of two afloat? Yup, it does indeed. In other words, forget about setting sail for the, say, the Vineyard in this. More of a lazy ol’ river kind of raft, in that respect. And, yes, it is made of nothing but vinyl. And glue. So, yeah, one good poke and . . . But, c'mon. For the money, this is a much better value than it's often given credit for. Seriously. You might even say with just the slightest attitude adjustment every one of these drawbacks turns into good thing. Opportunities, even. That business of having to laboriously inflate the whole bulging bag of air, for instance. (Yeah, that's all it is. Just a big ol' bag of air. But so is it's nearest relation: that big black inner tube so crucial to coursing through the fizzing froth of any wild, wild river you like.) If you didn't have to blow it up, you wouldn't be able to hump it down to you're favorite body of water. Ugh-ugh. You'd need a car, people. With a rack, for godsake. Or a truck. Because, like it or not, even a small kayak weighs a ton. You did know that, didn’t you? And that fifteen minuets you're going to spend pumping? Ever heard of being in the moment? That’s a really good thing, believe me. Same goes for the speed. Or rather lack of it, as far as, you know . . . getting anywhere in this baby goes. As I said to a kid in a motor boat one day (offered to get me something that'd go a "a lot faster.") It's the journey, not the destination, buddy. And if there's anything messing around in the Explorer 200 shows you, it's that. Say hello to that turtle getting a little sun over there. Sit back and watch that Great Blue Heron flap by just overhead. The one paying you so little mind you'd swear it'd mistaken your bizarre little bubble of air for nothing but the world’s most morbidly obese muskrat. Revel in the sensation of really being in the flow for once. But if you really must put a move on--and you got those oars--by all means, row away. Like many reviewers, I too was very skeptical about them. But, surprise, surprise! The darned things actually work. So I wouldn't assume that you've gotta order a kayak paddle to get anywhere in one of these things. Yeah, yeah, I know at least one reviewer swears that's what did the trick for him. Me, not so much. Kayaks are much narrower, after all. So, in my experience, getting a proper stroke with one of those was next impossible. And that's without even mentioning all the water that every one of those--painfully awkward strokes--shed. And I mean on me, rather than where it should have been going. Back into the river it’d come form. But those foolish little plastic oars? Do exactly what they're designed to do. And I mean with surprising efficiency at that. Little bit of a learning curve, if you haven't had much experience with rowboats. But with practice you'll soon get the hang of it. Quick tip. After having tried this from either end, I found it's probably best to stick to conventional rowboat protocol and row with you're back to the bow. Yeah, facing AWAY from the direction in which you’re traveling. Much better power that way. Save the stern first stuff for navigating around rocks. And bridge piers. Or that big ol' bass boat. You know the one. The one with just about nothing on it but a couple of barstools and an engine the size of a small SUV. Finally, as far as it’s being vinyl goes. Again, stronger stuff than it’s often been given credit for here. Yes, over the course of the summer I did have one puncture, for which, I might add, that patch so easily mistaken for nothing but a small extraneous piece of paper and hence completely overlooked is of no value whatsoever. But that’s it. Just one. And that was easily handled by a proper “inflatable patch,” as they’re known in the trade, apparently. Just slap one on and you’ll be good to go. Does that mean the ship is going down if you run into anything? Nope. To go through this stuff it’s gotta be good and sharp and it’s gotta strike head-on. Not at an angle. Ran aground in some rocky shallows today and just reached down and pushed it through. Rubbing, you see. Not really a problem with this. Not something I’d want to make a habit of, mind you. Going over a bunch of goopy wet rocks like that. But just goes to show: in that regard at least, it’s actually pretty tough. So all and all, super fun for next to nothing. Could anyone ask for more?
