The seam ripped after only a few uses and is beyond repair. Terrible quality product! Do not buy this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought this boat and it lasted one short sailing season (3 months) before the seam ripped so badly that it leaks irreparably. Garbage product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your Mariner 3. Quality and durability are our priorities, and your feedback helps us improve. We're committed to ensuring a better experience and will address this issue promptly to prevent future occurrences.
This makes a great inflatable sailboat with the sail kit that is available on the internet from another seller. The sail kit folds and the boat deflates and teh floor rolls up, so the whole sailboat fits in the trunk of a small car with room left over. And it really sails great, because the hull of the Mariner 3 is pretty firm and rigid when inflated.
We are using our Mariner 3 as a dingy for our boat. In 5 minutes we can inflate and outfit the boat. We visit shore/bars and other boats. The put away process is a bit longer but we don't have to pay our marina for dingy storage. The boat quality is good. We wanted one enough that when we couldn't get one locally we paid a 30% premium to have one shipped from Intex. We haven't had our long but so far so good.
My wife and I love this boat. After doing a lot of research, I settled on the Mariner 3 because of its excellent reputation, features, and price. It's easy to set up and easy to row about on the water. I also like how there are so many Mariner 3 and 4 users around the world who are willing to share their experiences with customizing their boats to meet their needs. I feel like I'm part of a community. Can't wait to add a Bimini canopy and a trolling motor.
We first thought about getting a kayak but this boat is so much better because we can move around and carry more things with us. We also purchased the trolling motor as well which is a must! The boat is very well made and it takes us about 20 minutes to set it up and get going! We are having lots of fun in it and plan on going to many lakes with it.
