Default Inflatable drift boat bought new for under $400

Hi,

Just thought I would share my lastest project. I will be using it on the bow river.

Yes it comes with a rigid floor, some people upgrade it with a custom marine plywood floor but that adds a lot of weight

I have an M4 too. Great little drift boat!

My take on the M4 Solid Floor Mod. I used 0.625” Fibreglass Faced Aluminum Honeycomb Aircraft Flooring. Way stronger than Plywood and about 1/4 of the weight. In fact it is lighter than the stock slatted floor. I made it a 4 piece.

Great! I bet a lot of M4 owners would love one. The problem is, it’s a $2000 Floor in a $500 boat! Working in aviation has its privileges!

I was in Cabelas on Thursday(28th). They had the Intek Mariner on sale for $199.00 half price. Excellent deal and a nice looking boat.
