Can you post link with this seat cushion with pocket , please. Thanks.

Brilliant video! I've subscribed. Can I ask how long your 7.0AH Battery lasts with your striker pinging away?

Arent air floor a night are for fishing? Wont they just puncture constantly?

You have the same setup as me, same sib outbound etc, interesting to see how u do everything!

What kind of mat do you have?

I’d turn the engine off when you bring the wheels up. If you lean on the gear lever or the boat rocks and you knock it with your hand down there it could end badly.

Very informative for new SIB owners! Nice work

I had a 6hp on my SIB bought it brand new in June , got rid of it after the 3rd outing they are very noisy , now running a 9.9 and it’s so much better plus boat planes instantly I’m running a 3D tender 300 V . Should’ve done my homework before purchasing the motor , single cylinder outboards will drive you insane with noise :) . Dig the videos , I’m in Gosport/portsmouth .

Great Video 👍

nice vid, but couldn't help notice the bolts sticking through the transom hahah, please cut them down and stick rubber caps on them :)

What license do you need

I’m new so all good advice , I’m I also right I can only use upto 10hp without a powerboat license

In che zona geografica siete? Avete pescato bene? Saluti dalla Sicilia Italia

What kind of licence do you need when you have a inflatable boat with a small engine?

Complete noob here, just wondering how stable the air floor is to stand on compared to the aluminium ones?

Excellent, I just ordered a VHF radio!

BREATHING HEAVILY WHEN CARING THAT LIGHT WEIGHT MOTOR ... YOU SHOULD GO WALKING + RUNNING FOR YOUR CARDIO OR ROWING THAT TIME NOT FISHING BAD ❤❤❤ HEARTH

I did this. It worked. Rather than one of those plastic clip luggage strap, I used cam buckle strap, seemed like the safer option. I put bits of rubber between transducer and tube as well as between cam buckle and tube. Used a plastic food tub for the battery just like this, padding it out inside with stiff foam to hold the battery tight. I screwed the Garmin mount into the tub lid and then strapped the battery tub onto the boat's bench, with a piece of rubber mat beneath it to hold it in place. I also put another strap around the box and mount in the other direction for insurance on the mount. I didn't get any image when moving at speed, were it mounted on the transom more towards the keel I suspect I'd have better chance of that. But you're typically not looking for fish at high throttle, right? I did all this, and through no fault of the unit, I STILL DIDN'T CATCH ANY FISH YESTERDAY arrrgh. It's not a magic box that will get you fish. It just tells you that fish are "around", because they are already gone from the spot you see them at. Marking a waypoint and trying (difficult) to head back to it does not do it. Also - 7ah battery didn't last nearly as much as I'd hoped - power the unit down and do periodic checks or processes rather than just leaving it on.

All good tips. I would add: although the anchor goes over the bow when it is in use, stow it at the stern when not in use. It clatters about less. Those hinged wheels can be left in the neutral position so that they float on the surface of the water. Ever so slightly more drag than if they are fully raised, but they are less likely to be in the way of the engine when doing tight manoeuvres, and they are quicker to deploy when coming into the shallows solo. On a windy day, at very slow speed, the propeller effect makes the boat easier to turn one way than the other. Work with it: it's sometimes better to do an easy 270 degree turn than fight the wind to turn 90 degrees. Some boats have a drainage valve in the transom. Don't leave it open at low speeds or when anchored. Check and clean it from time to time. If you're setting up a boat with a sectional wooden floor, put the bow up on something (the fuel tank is ideal) before putting the last 2 sections in place.

Hello m8. I saw your mounting fish finder video that you made a year ago. Where you're strapping the transducer around the tube at the back. Did that work out OK for you? I'm going to be drilling my transom to mount it at some point, but for just this weekend I'm going to try mounting it like you did. Any issues with doing it the way you did? Thx for replies.

Sorry please put the right boat weights on your videos. As people will buy on videos like this. A quick google will do the job.

I would be interested to know what SIB/Outboard combination you would recommend for use by a photographer on rivers, primarily the Norfolk Broads (mostly 6mph limit I believe). One/Two man boats that can be carried in the back of car, assembled by one man and launched/retrieved by one man on a public slipway. The boat would need to carry 150kg (man and kit) and occasionally an additional passenger (70Kg). Any suggestions?

genial analisis

Very helpful and I will make some changes as a result of your advice. I would add - tell some one whee you are going, when you expect to be back and what to do if you over run by an agreed time.

Aluminium floor if you have a trailer and air floor if not

Air Floor vs Aluminium Floor >?

All you want is Honwave, amazing boats, handle the water really well and a great price 👍😅

Hi Adam. Mind if I add to this? As the owner of Inflatable Boat Fishing Ltd and having designed the Hydrus boats. It doesn't look like you have done any research on these boats what so ever. Firstly the 3.3m air deck Hydrus starts at £1109 NOT £1200 putting it priced in 1st place . The 3.7m ally deck starts at £1319 NOT £1600 placing it in 5th place price-wise. In regards to weight. You also failed to mention that both of these SIBs are available in two carry bags halving the weight for both of them. A very important thing to consider when buying a SIB. It's a shame as you've never owned a Hydrus. You haven't even mentioned Boatworld SIBs. Probably the most well known out of all inflatable boats in the UK. I think you need to go back to the drawing board Adam. Just my opinion.

Yep did the wheels down one, only took half a mile to realise why my 6hp yam wasn't performing well 🫤😉❤️

Thank you

Spanish French and Japan have eaten the whole sea 🌊

What is the best app for swell, tide times etc. I used to use Magic seaweed until it merged with Surfline which i cant get on with.

Ty for that just starting getting into boating. Good advice to not get out. Had the experience in a canoe as a kid. We ran aground on a shallow sand spot and I got out to push it. It was sink sand. Was able to get out because I had loose water boots on but it got sketchy. Also learned to check the shore and wait before getting out if in a forest environment. The bushes sometimes have furry surprises

How the aur doesn't seem to guss out like mine does am I doing something wrong. I hav a honwave 2 .4 metre

Had an aluminum floor. Hated the setup part. I'm retired and getting on my hands and knees trying to get everything to fit reaching and pulling was a total pain. Locking in those side rails was nuts. The whole time I'm doing it I am cursing the guy who invented this system with such tight tolerances. Now looking for a boat I just hook up to my pump to and get it done with. Also the point about getting stones or sharp objects under the floor is equally bad for both types of floor. Every time I tore down the boat there was tons of debris under the metal floor. I figure if I'm going air floor I just put three or four commercial carpet tiles trimmed just so over the inflatable floor. Then I don't have to worry about dropping something sharp, fish hooks, cigar butts etc. Problem in Canada is that everyone gets the metal floor type. Impossible to find a used inflatable floor boat and very few dealers sell them. No question the metal will last a lifetime but who boats that much.

I have both the t40 and the t38! And I get more punctures with the T40 because of small stones and shells that gather under the floor and then pierce the hull, the alloy floor is slightly better in rough water however like you say a pain to setup! Best option is a trailer but then you may as well have a small rib the t38 gets my vote my t40 is currently up for sale.

Awsome what length are the straps please?

Hi,I'm looking to buy a sib with a budget of around £1200 I'm new to all this and wondering which brand to go for I've been looking at boatworld, seapro, honwave and Rydal Any advice would be grateful Thanks 👍 Oh it's for sea fishing around 3mts😉

Great video bro, one advantage of the aluminium floor is that in case of a punch it would give you a better chance of using your motor (if you have one) as it would keep the boat structure and the transom would stay at the correct angle, as long as your boat has multiple separate air tubes, if it makes sense...

I always carry a sea anchor and one gallon of wave oil as required by SOLAS 1974. Strongly recommended.

buy a nice rod lighter and good quality majorcraft made in japan

nice set-up rib boat...

great tips, thank you!

Can you tell me how the strapping of the tranduser worked out attached to the tubes. I want to do the same. Thank you

Grip leads bouncing around by the tubes sent my anxiety through the foof 😅

For me the air floor is way better fact ways less have no issues and install it fast fsct a aluminum floor can be a pain in the bit fsct and adds extra weight fsct I get in plain faster with a air floor fact

Excellent video, straight to the point and you're setting up so much faster than me. One question still, how will you be able to sharp steer with the wheels lifted up? Especially because I have a 3.5hp without reverse so I would need to fully turn the outboard for reverse? Cheers

All good but number 1 has to be a PLB (PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON) IF IT ALL GOES WRONG!

Well as a fisherman do like the old days just go fish tho because when you see that big ass dot on there it’s a sharks amd if he bites that dingy all bad tho 😂😂
