Easy setup and sturdy
5 of 5 found this helpful This is the first boat for me. Considering I received it the day before we were scheduled to visit the lake, I set it up in my loft the night I got it. I took everything out of the box and laid it out. Filling it up with the included pump was not as bad as I expected. The valves are easy to work. Total time to fill all the cavities was about 30 minutes.
At the lake, my grandson and I put it together (on a tarp) and then carried it onto the lake. Initially, we went out with 4 people (3 adult size and one 5 year old), small cooler and lunch bag (thanks to my wife). I was impressed with how stable it was on the water. It took me a little bit to get the hang of rowing (again, my first boat) but even that was fun.
On our 3rd trip onto the lake with my oldest grandson, I tried to "row" us off the lake floor since we had bottomed out when we got in... the oar broke in half (at the plastic connector). I had read other reviews about the oars so, here's another example.
For the rest of the day we merely paddled our way around. Will have to fix or replace the oar later.
Overall, I'm happy with the Mariner 4. Will be using it quite a bit.
