- The new fast boat hits the water! Red For Speed! This boat was not meant to appear quite yet but we are still patiently waiting on my dream boat to arrive, so time to get the new micro inflatable into action. Set up and how I apply the vinyl rego numbers is in the vid, one of the most asked questions on about my inflatable boats on the channel. Now let's go on an ocean adventure!

The subtle flex of take your boat over to your boat to get something while you're patiently waiting for your boat to come in
Hahaha!
Yep. I loved it.
This is what life is about
more is more💪🏽😂
That's the life of a boat captain... haha
That knob you pull out is the choke. Generally you pull it out for the first start of the day and push it in once the boat is a bit warmed up or starts to sputter, then you push it in and don't need it for further starts that day. Love the new boat for fun. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more!
Geez mate, your kid should be able to recognise and say those letters at his age. You need to get him tested. Anyway, very nice boat mate!
Permanent marker and a skilled hand does a great job. The markers used to label livestock tags is the longest lasting but most any permanent marker will work.
Mate I can’t wait for the bigger boat to arrive so pumped for the new adventures to come!
i know the boat is inflatable etc etc but im still in awe that a boat of that kinda size can fit and be sent in a box that size
Hey rod with these motors you can get an extension screwed on and you can sit at the front and work the throttle forward and revers from up there, well worth it solo fishing to keep the nose down 🤟🏽
I have one of these and Love It! Very stable super easy to board from front stows and folds easy. High quality components. Extremely rugged material! I use as a tender for my sailboat, adventure boat for river running swim and dive platform.
Pretty sure all the small Merc's below 30HP are Tohatsu's , which is not a bad thing at all . Congrats on the new ride.
All the japanese ones are afaik but the us made ones with the gears on the tiller are were all made by mercury and are different motors.
@@dylanwilliams3807they are still Tohatsu’s, just with Mercury’s controls
@@lombastoif they are maybe putting the mercury stickers on them makes them a lot quieter 😂😂
Your house looks great. The area you live in reminds me of Florida. Like the new boat too.
Holly molly!!!😳 what a flash lookn bit of kit!! Nice replacement mate ! Hope the kids enjoy.
The gear change on the tiller arm is great I’m a big fan of that design
Those wheels are the bomb! So easy to install, no hardware whatsoever! Amazing!
Do you know what those wheels are called or where they are sold?
easy to steal as well !
I’ve used cast vinyl with a heat gun to get letters to stick to inflatable boats. Takes much longer to apply than normal stickers but it doesn’t bludge the surface.
For some reason YT stopped sending me notifications of new videos.I am glad I checked back to the channel.I had to go back 3 months worth of content to get up to date.
Hey bro. I am astonished by the negative comments. If u don’t like the channel or boat then move on and keep ya mouth shut.
These boats are awesome for what they are designed to do. I’ve been researching fold away boats for my travels. I spear fish and freedive hard out with my son and our mates. Being able to throw this on the hilux roof racks or small trailer or put in the boot of a hatchback is a win in my opinion. I was sold on a Takacat but after watching your videos I think I’m gonna order a 4000 with a 20hp two stroke. I like the closed Ali transom. Won’t loose a bootie or fin out the back. The rail blazers are a win. Solid handles. And the nose seems to scoop higher than the Taka which looks safer and dryer.
This is why we love TH-cam. Cause someone has done a review on everything u wanna buy. Thank u bro. You’re a champ. As for all u haters out there. We’ll get a life. Go fishing. Have some fun. Stop trolling.
Can't wait to see the new boat, but the 'Pocket Rocket' seems like a reliable in between. Look at you sporting that snazzy red color! Cheers mate! Always love your content, hope the sciatica continues to get better. I know the feeling all too well, it's miserable.
Super clean lettering application on a very pretty new boat!
That looks perfect for me. I have been after something like a zapcat for ages. Just need to sell some bits and get my order in ready for next summer. I see they ship to the UK so fingers crossed I get everything sorted. What a weapon !
Sure if the trim is adjusted out slightly it will keep the nose down. Had the 2000 model, Grey, that was on a 3m and it was fantastic even with 2 ppl on the boat. Just took a little adjusting to get it to run at the right angle, and got better speed too. Also the petrol usage was brilliant. 25l would last a week of freshwater fishing . Can't wait for your next upload.
I like this new boat but I miss the old one already! I am so happy for you Rod. I can't think of anyone more deserving my friend. XOXOX
Congratulations Rod. Nice boat mate
Nice video! So good to see you wearing the kill switch leash. That saved my life when I was thrown out in the surf. Dealer made me promise to always use it as he had a customer killed when he was thrown out and the boat circled back and ran him down. A friend was thrown out of his sailboat dinghy. Boat circled back and ran him down. He survived but with severe injuries. Folks need to be made more aware of this. Inflatables have a trampoline effect when hitting a wave or wake.
Great to see you back on the water!! Can’t wait to see what the big boat looks like and how it goes! See you next time!
All round great set up , the boat couldn't be simpler to put together, as for that lil Merc,what a score perfect for that hull, ran like a trooper, as for weight in the front time to give mum a break and take the lil man with, he can't learn if he's not with ya.
True, I’ll have to get the boys out more for sure👍
@@rokkitkit best thing you can do for sure, I'm in my mind sixties now ,my son 30, I don't want for fish at all, when he was 12 I got him a castnet, I don't pay for bait or prawns either. Last note, he as a child shared more of his problems with me in that tinny ,than he ever did at the kitchen table, keep Emm close..
Hell. Ya. Lovin the boat mate and the red is so attractive that you won't even need a rod, the fish will just come to you on their own!
Please put a sticker over the word 'true' on the boats floor with RoKKiT on it :)
I thought you were putting together an RC boat I was surprised when you pulled a full sized boat out of the box :)
The "in-between" boat looks absolutely awesome mate.
Gorgeous and speedy little thing. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Love your vids mate.
Great new addition even if it is temporary. To get your maximum speed you should go both directions. Do a 180° turn on the second run and then average the two runs 🤙🏼
The thrusters caught my eye. Let's see that video!!!
The Goldmember Pop-up made me laugh haha
Well done ROKKiT, another plan comes together. One thing I’ve learnt about you is if you can’t do it. No one can. Good luck on yr upcoming adventures, I’m sure they’ll be amazing, and extraordinary.
Lovely inflatable boat! Congrats! Looking forward to your next adventure and best regards from Sweden!
So I believe you can adjust the tilt of the motor to help with the nose rising too much and not coming into plane. There are also "blades" you can attach to the motor. I know you’ll load her up and it’ll probably stop, but if you like to go for a run for an evening, you shouldn’t have to throw a lot of weight on it.
As always, love the vid Rod. Can't wait to see the next boat! Stay safe out there brother!
Not boring mate your just getting prepared to send it to some islands can't wait!
Getting close to 500,000 subscribers thanks for the great content over the years
Beautiful boat and motor so happy for you and us as your subscribers. You're going to catch a lot of fish on it.
i just watched some asian dude build this basic boat for $150 worth of material .chicken wire and fiberglass... it was epic
Aaah a fellow LR Disco tragic. That must be why I enjoy your Stabicraft videos so much!
Will you add a marlin hole for old times sake? lol
I'm surprised that someone that's owned so many boats, doesn't understand the use and care of a choke knob.
Experience is the key.
I've got a 9.9.
I expect it's more than sufficient for this boat.
The USA model of this motor has a unique choke so this was the first times using it. Most chokes just pull out and can very the amount of opening the further out. This one spins to increases ideal as well as adjust choke. And you never know how much of anything until you use one for the first time… can’t know everything👍 yea I had the 9.9 on the last 3.3m light grey boat. It was sufficient for sure and got on the plane fine enough, but nowhere near as much fun as the 15hp😁
@@rokkitkit
I have never used other than, American versions of these motors.
Anything different than what you are used to, has a steep learning curve.
Congratulations on not getting stranded or losing the motor off the back of the transom.
Anything bought used, is an open question.
It looks like fun !!
I am actively searching for a tender, for a not-yet-purchased, used sailboat.
Your video was helpful.
I really want a set up like that for bouncing around here in the Florida Keys.
Cheers man. Can't wait to see what you have on order. Would love to see you in a Contender 28T or something similar.
Haha, I think the Contender might be a little more then I can swing😅 but what’s coming is pretty awesome too👍
Once I hit something submerged & the whole outboard motor did a summersault & landed in the boat (at full speed) ever since then I keep a shortish chain from the motor to the Transom! Usually they sink if you hit something!!
Never seen a True Kit boat before. I see why the 4m are sold out. Would be cool to see a 5m version one day.
Hello friend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. Big hugs and until next time.
That's a nice boat! More fun adventures in the works :)
That would be perfect for me just to race out for a feed, I live around 4 minute walk to boat ramp. Save setting up the adventure Islander. Can't wait to see it with fish coming aboard.
Bro, get a tiller extension and drive standing up! I did and it is better than a jet ski! Don't forget the lanyard!!
Let’s go! I love your videos man! You just have fun all the time and are loving the dream. Well done!
Loving the new boat.
What's with the pop in picture at 02:47 of the guy in gold clapping his hands 🤣
Sweet rig! Just as I was thinking a Permatrim would help you keep the bow down (especially at moderate speeds), you said the same thing. lol
Nice little boat, been thinking about cat raised a little higher and 4mt and longer wheel mounts.
Try better weight distribution by moving the gas can and beer cooler under the seat and securing so they do
😂 not slid back and put a cheap plastic storage box with life vests and safety items plus rain gear and hand held VHF.
Bright shiny color, that boat. Fish will see ya coming a mile away. No stealth here. 😃
Haha, but it’s all black on the bottom 😊👍
@@rokkitkit you should paint a school of little bait fishes on the boat bottom. Nobody would notice but still wonder how the heck you seem to be attracting so many fish. Fish psychology, see. 😜
I didn't really think about it but it is gonna be nice seeing this pop of colour when you go out to the islands for a bit, opposed to the usual neutral coloured boats you had.
Man if your ever lost at sea the SAR bird will spot you easy! Lol cheers man sharp looking rig. Hope all is awesome
And here I was thinking 'True Kit' was an extension of your brand 'Rokkit Kit' lol
I love your channel the solo island camping and fishing to bad I don’t have islands like you do can’t wait to see your new boat and what new adventurous content your will create
Thanks Rod, great wee boat.
Hey Rod. Love the content. Always look forward to your videos. When is the next video of the sailboat coming out? Looking forward to seeing the progress on the boat, and how are improving as a sailor.
Yea!!! Buddy the second hand merc looks sweet! Red looks too good. Im on lake erie and buddy i might need one. Thank you for always sharing the cool stuff
No way! I was anchored right where you where in Bum's Bay for a fortnight, then hid off Wavebreak for when that southerly came through. Spent the weekend up at Slipping Sands. Would have only just missed you. I'm on a 31ft sailboat called Duet if you see me around, currently slipping up at Coomera. Would be more than happy to take you for a few lessons.
A nice looking boat! Congrats!✌️🍻
Well.. i turn 26 next month and have never seen a leaf blower to blow up an inflatable, bit of a game changer 😂😅
What about the sail boat?
missing misty!
Misty makes am appearance at the end
Those Merc's are great. I think you will love it
Pocket Rocket looks cool. Idea, where that sticker says True Kit, change True to RoKKiT. Viola your own branded Pocket Rocket. And its red, gotta be fast
Very capable little craft…although minimal space for gear sometimes it’s great to go with the basic gear and be simple…👍🏼
Love the color, and the boat looks cool, but I hope your back heals up soon so you can really enjoy it.
Always get excited when I see you post a video. Thank you as always!
You can throttle the choke by twisting it clockwise.
Waiting on my boat as well! Won't be anytime soon though sadly. Grats on the new boat and the incoming one.
waterproof marker for the numbers 👉👍
This boat is perfect, I need this exact set up.
nice shots of your foot and the floor! 2. Don't bring any sharps on your boat. (that Anchor) especially if you're going to throw it at the boat. DONT DO THAT! LOL I have experience throwing a gaff HOOK on my inflatable and the patch to prove it. 🙂 Do both MPH and KPH thank you.
Nice boat and your'e going to have a blast! Thanks for the video!
Neat little boat. That 15 should push that light boat to about 25mph. Fast enough. Sorry you are having back issues.
glad to see your back is better .great vid....peace out
Tohatsu and Mercury 'not so different' now that's a funny statement.
"They are the second largest producer of outboards in the world. As well as marketing outboards under its own brand, Tohatsu outboards are rebadged and sold as other brands. In 1988 Tohatsu and Brunswick Corporation set up a joint venture named Tohatsu Marine Corporation to produce outboards for Mercury Marine."
Small Mecury motors are infact made by Tohatsu. You buy Mercury for the service access, which might or might not be better.
Seen this thing with my own eyes, they are fast fun little things.. though here the guy has a 20hp Tohatsu on that 3.3m version, don't know why because it's severely overpowered and will flip if he instantly goes full power ( but it's within the weight limit I'm told.. which is why he went with that older simpler two stroke they weight a lot less. I have a 5hp Tohatsu on a Mariner 4, just within weight limit but 2hp over max recommended power for the lil thing ).
Vacuum noise was loved by my cat 🐈
It's insane how easy it was to put together!
Man that is a cool little rig there. Nice mercury as well!
If you want some trim tabs to bring the front down, drop them wheels! LOL 😅
I agree, kid totally got it!
Please do a live video soon! Let’s fund the bigger tank and the gauge.
You should take a look at the "dimaree inflatable boats" or "dib" rescue sled...
Top of the line boats, vulcanized rubber will be able to pass it on to your grandkids...
Nice for sure. Looks like you will have a bit of fun with that one.
When the new boat arrives, just boxed this one and send it to me😅😅... you're awesome bro.. keep it up!
Urethane paint with stencils is how you should letter your pvc boats....
So the new boat arrived- but it’s a different new boat..
The other new boat is coming (from overseas?).
The suspense, the suspense..
Tohatsu makes those mercurys XD
Nice little boat. I wonder if you put fins on the motor if it'll plain out better with the bow down? Looks like you had the motor down as far as you can go. That'll be a great dingy anyway, enjoy!
Congratulations rod on the new boat. Can't wait for your future videos. You make some of the best fishing videos on TH-cam.
That looks like a boat that could easily flip over backwards. Nice set up for portability though.
Red Ones go fasta - every Ork ever.
Hi there, that is a very nice boat engine combo, I also have a 3.3 meters inflatable boat and I use it with a Suzuki 2 strokes 15 hp and it gives me max speed 38.5 K/H , I'm 110 kilos heavy, so yeah same!!! I also have a Nifty boat with a Mercury 2 strokes 5hp , those are nice as well for lakes, rivers or just not to rough ocean, is like kayak with engine, love them!, Anyway I love watching your videos Mate!!! I keep waiting for more videos coming, cheers
Nice new set up mate seems quick and stable yes one esky or large person required for front😂looking forward to your next video.
Cheers Wombat 🐾🚤👍👍👍
I have the same boat same colour 9.9 2 stroke Tohatsu as a tender. We are in Mariners Cove Southport. Saw u go by the other day. I should have chased u and formed a convoy.🙂
super jelly...that kit is rad!
