How can a Canadian buy a Mariner 4 online

[Dr. Auto]

Hey everyone, first post. I've started really getting into fishing this year and now wanting to get a boat. I haven't owned an inflatable boat since I was 12 so I never new there was good quality was around till I started looking around online this week. I feel in love with the intex mariner 4 and how you can customize it from YouTube. But when I went to place my order I found out no one will ship it to Canada, except on ebay for 585$.
Is there any way a Canadian can get there hands on this boat for regular price? I was pretty disappointed by this. Only thing I found at a reasonable price was a seahawk II for 250$ which is good for a personal boat but I'd like something to fit 3 or 4 people. Any info is appreciated, thanks

Ahh. I'm in the Seattle area. If we were a little closer, we might have been able to work something out. They are a bit of a weight (~84 lbs).

How does 329.99 (CAD) sound?

BTW: Someone, I can't recall who, was recently inquiring about the model with the round (tubular) seats. 2007 was the last year they made those. The 2008 model had the 'rectangular' seats with yellow trim on the boat itself. The next model (2013) just changed the logo and color (to red). A tubular seat model is likely ~6 years old, even if it has never been opened.

Problem solved, feel pretty dumb. 2 boats coming now but I won't get the mariner 4 till July cuz of super slow free shipping. Paid 360$ or so not too bad 250$ for seahawk ii that's supposed to be here wednesday. I'm pumped to do some fishing and moding

@copper that's the one I found, I musta been on the USA amazon.

Thanks everyone, I'll be able to truly join the community here soon
Cheers

Looks like I'm a little late with this, however I am in Seattle and I have a like new Mariner 4 (bought 1 month ago and used once) that I decided to sell. Great boat, just decided to step up to a zodiac. Anyways, if you want one sooner I would be happy to meet you at the border (U.S. side) and sell you mine for $250 (with pump, oars, and motor mount included).

Update time, sorry Jason I am very far from the boarder so it wouldn't be feasible. Thanks for the offer though. To any Canadian looking to buy I recommend amazon. Ca and free shipping. It said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get here for the free shipping but only took 2 weeks. Plus I didn't have to pay duties like I did for the sea hawk II (what a rip off, paid 100$ for shipping it to then they said I had to pay 50$ more once here . paid more to get it here then it's worth.)Happy it's so heavy cuz it's the 1st time this delivery company just left it at my door lol bet the guy didn't want to haul it back. Love my seahawk II so I bet I'll love the mariner 4,already caught more fish in 2 days compared to last year
