- Dear friends, since my last video I think I can say that we have all had way too much free time on our hands. I thought I would bring you a different type of video about a product which has brought me so much fun over the last few summers. This is a review of the Intex Seahawk 4 inflatable boat. I believe this is one of the best purchases I have made for under £100. It allows me to travel to destinations otherwise unreachable and therefore I can bring you some more scary exploration videos in the future from some crazy locations! For those on an even tighter budget Intex also offers the Seahawk 3 and Seahawk 4. So get out there on your rubber boat and explore!
I would love to read some of YOUR creepy stories. They could be about anything fictitious or real. Its totally up to you! Let me know in the comments section below. Or email:

I’m delving into the twilight, dusky extents of TH-cam. There’s much beauty to be found in the darkness of the night. So join me as we voyage through space and time on this crazy spaceship called Earth.
I would like to thank 'boatinggeeks.com' for featuring this review on their website. Go check them out!
Nice video. I have Seahawk 4 since 5 years now; and have enjoyed it every summer going out for boating with my family and friends. Hand pump is not bad to inflate the boat, but I bought 12v air mattress pump which works great in inflating and deflating the boat. I run this pump on 5000mah 3S Lipo from my old drone. This year, I bought 34 lbs. Minn Kota motor, 12v UB12350 battery + box and went for boating last Sunday. It was truly a great experience with the onboard motor. Boat and accessories + large tarp + motor and battery, all easily fits in my sedan's trunk. I highly recommend this boat.
How do you store it for winter time please??
@mounir.s7603 Hi Mounir, I am using it since 7-8 years now. Last time I used it 3 months ago. I usually store it in my garage, folded inwards into 3 folds. Being in Canada, it is subjected to minus temperatures every winter, but having no issues so far.
To be honest, it's better to store it inside the house 👍
Bro, I’ve been looking for boats for quarantine and you come out of nowhere with this review. On my way to get my Seahawk right now! Instant subscribe. Keep doing what you’re doing!
How did it go😊
72 lbs is $100 US dollars and this boat still runs that here. Thank you for this video.
The pouch is for putting the repair kit.
Great motor considering there is no fuel tank? Is this right?
How does it work and how much was it may l ask?
❤❤❤
Hi, can you put the moto's name and maybe a link from where you bought it. Thanks
Don't reject hand pump at the start.
I inflated in 12min. (Seehawk 4)
I'm not good in English
All I can say is this is very durable and big we already try this yesterday with 4 to 7 people and everything is fine this is good for the whole family and friends but it's hard to remove the air inside you need a air suction
I love the boat I have had for 2 years I take it out a lot with a 55lb electric trolling motor with a 12v 100ah battery and it lasts like 10 hours cruising around the lake....I absolutely despise the bottom though that valve is the most annoying thing because letting it down at the end is a 10 minute job one of us squeezing the thing and one folding and lying on the boat!!! Nightmare!!
Bro, I'll be dropping a video this summer about creating a floor for the boat. Stay tuned.
to help getting the air out, stick the nozzle from the air pump in so that the valve is open. Now you can simply roll the boat up and quickly squeeze the air out
Good review. I just bought this.
How have you found the boat, is it rigid enough , does it puncture easily.
I have a question about the engine. Is it recommended or possible to transport this motor inside a regular car, cause that´s my plan? I mean, I saw that You lay it down on the ground. Inside a car, I cannot transport the motor upright, but I´m scared, if otherwise some oil or gasoline come out and I have a mess. I´m not yet sure if going for an electric outboarder, or better gas. In the one case have an (annoying) heavy battery, in the other case need a canister ;-)
I would not recommend transporting a gas outboard motor inside a car, especially if it has been recently used and is still warm. If any gas leaks it could combust and cause a fire. You should purchase a good electric motor as it is cleaner, quieter and much safer to transport in a car. It is also just easier to maintain!
Planning on buying this boat, but cant decide which should i choose between seahawk 3 or seahawk 4. Mostly i will use it for 2 people. Any sugestions guys? Pros and cons of both?
Get the Seahawk 3! You can bring your buddy and some extra gear too! It will be smaller and easier to store! 👍
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst Thanks for answer. Finaly, just got my Seahawk 3 and all camping gear: sleaping bag, tent, mat. Cant wait to try it. Probably this evening im going for a little swim :D
Show!!!!
Was this Kinnago marina?. How did the boat do there?? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video. I just got this boat to get my family out on the water. (4 of us). Mostly just going to go on smooth lakes with it hopefully. One question though, how challenging is it to move the boat? Would you suggest blowing it up as close to the water as possible? Thanks again. Be well.
Once inflated the boat can be too awkward for one person to carry. Two adults can easily carry it though. Happy boating!
How has yours held up Dan?
hii, I wanna get a boat for (mainly) myself just to relax along the shore at the beach, wanna bring my guitar and just enjoy my alone time haha. do you think the Seahawk 3 or 4 would be best for me?
Seahawk 3 for sure!
All things considered
Bro nice video! But I had a problem finding the 4 strike, how can I find it on amazon? 😫
Beto Heredia it’s called sky 4 stroke outboard I think
how does the intex motor mount cope with the weight of that engine? I have a british seagull 40 2-stroke engine im planning to put on there but worried it might be too heavy
It can take an engine weighing up to 40lbs.
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst hey, thanks for the reply. Sounds like I will be right on the limit might extend the upper metal poles like i have seen some others do to reinforce it. Thank you :)
@@shadybunchvevo I will be making a video about my experience with the intex motor mount. Its board was so thin that I had to reinforce it with a small piece of wood get the engine to clamp tightly.
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst i shall await it, seems to be reasonable for the price but i had noticed a few people have done as you said and reinforced it with some wood.
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst how have you found the Intex Seahawk. I was considering buying one, but there are quite a few bad reviews about quality.?
Do you need a license for this one? Even without motor?
No. At least not where I live.
How long dis this raft last you?.
can you link the motor.
Yeah got one myself sum job
How has this held up?
Still going strong...
hi. i bought mine. but sadly i lost my inflation ruler gauge. do know how many centimeters is the proper inflation
10cm
Oh boy you are funny!
Just touch will tell you it is hard enough and not too soft! 😅
where do the 2 rubber rings go?
They go on each of the oars to stop water running down the handles.
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst cheers pal
Anyone know how to deflate the (2) main air chambers??
There is a boston valve on each air chamber at the rear of the craft. Turn the base of each valve anti clockwise to loosen and release the air. They should come completely out of the socket and the boat will quickly deflate!
Hahaha as if you didn't notice it's 2 seperate parts on each valve... that's some funny shit to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The name is seahawk so its meant to be for the sea
hows the 4 stroke engine
Too noisy and too much maintenance. Go for an electric motor!
@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst you want one of these....www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303978666905?epid=27030082258&hash=item46c68a5b99:g:z9QAAOSwYDZgioDt
I'm thinking of buying one , could you please advice if tvis boat is good for beach fishing ?????
Hi! Although it's called a Seahawk, I would not use it in the sea as it could easily blow away. Stay in small lakes only. 👍
I bought one, used it in the sea a few days ago. It was ok until the sea got rough lol
I don't think they are made for coastal waters only inland use I think. How's the quality. Material. ?
@@rainerneumeister5239 true but that's what I have here lol. I only use it in rough seas and it handles well. By rough, I mean a little windy. Just came back from fishing too
@@leroythehooker have you got an out board on it. Did you put solid floor in. ?
@@rainerneumeister5239 yes I have the hangkai 3.5 hp outboard that everyone on youtube hates lol. I love mine and it is easy to work on. Never worked on anything before and I now know how to do all the work on it. I haven't done any modifications to the boat, no solid floor
@@leroythehooker hello dude how are you? Well i realy want to own a seahawk 4 but im scared to but it because i live in lebanon we dont have lakes over here we only have sea do u recomend me to buy 1 & can u please make a small video in a rough water..?
