Man you got the right disposition for making videos... Love this boat!!! Thanks and keep them coming!!! Would also like to see how you get the boat back on the trailer!!!
I went with the Bris 12 foot dive rescue boat and picked up a 4x8 trailer as well, I like how you did yours gives me some ideas for mine. Keep up the great vids.
Dude!!! Awesome video!! I'm moving and have to get rid of my trailer and was on the fence about the harbor freight one. You sold me on the trailer and all the mods (every one you did ive got planned!!)!!!!
Never mind my comment on your other video, I asked if you added the upgrades you were talking about, guess you did. Looks great, and highly useable. You definitely made me feel more comfortable about buying this inflatable. I went ahead and made the order after seeing your reviews. Apparently we think alike, I have the same bow lights and trim tabs on my speedboat. XD
Thanks for taking the time to make this video man. These type boats seem great especially since I got some little ones and want to take them camping but to spots only accessible by boat.
Your boat is dressed out pretty sweet. We're going the same route with a West Marine SB370. We used a Harbor Freight trailer as well but it's set up to be a stake side or boat trailer. The bunks run the length of the trailer and are removable. We also installed bearing buddies on the axles. I see you went with benches instead of seats. Might do the same with ours. Looking for parts to install a helm unit. I like the LED nav lights, but if they don't have the right stamp our patrols don't react well to them. Thanks for showing off the mods. Lots of good ideas on a clean looking boat.
Thank you so much for watching and also the positive feedback. I really hope that you are enjoying your boat and the company you went with it was a very good choice they make very solid boats.
one quick question: would you be able to fit this boat on the harbor freight trailer without the extension you built? What do you think is the max size that could fit on that trailer without having to customize/extend it?
DJ BEACHKNG yes it will fit without the extension but the tubes will have no support for almost 4 feet. I just felt more comfortable not having it bounce so much and stress the transom. Basically the extension gave the transom a support beam.
MR Unknown thank you for watching yes they are awesome but that Saturn is far better quality. I have owned both and would buy the Saturn line over the Bris in a heartbeat.
Interesting you say that. I've been comparing this boat to the Saturn SD488. Price and size they are the same on paper. In what specifically is the Saturn better in quality?
Thanks as well for kick in the butt. I pulled the trigger today on a HF trailer! I got the higher weight rated one for a $100 off, $339 instead $449. I drove 90 miles to pick it up, not in stock any nearby locations. DMV is jacked, so no new reg's fir now. Hoping cops will give me a break with receipt in hand. Rez's are made, plan is to trailer my 14' Saturn from SF to Lake Powell, mid-June!!
Do you have any videos of launching and pulling the boat back up to that trailer? I'm in the process of converting my old HF trailer to something like yours. thanks
Mate I have literally the same setup - Black BRIS with the Bimini ( grey though). I have a Merc 25HP 2 Stroke. Installed a Whale Supersub bilge pump under floor. Also have a Simrad GO 9 XSE , and homemade 30ah Lithium battery box to run bilge, Simrad and also my live bait tank ( made from Dometic cooler with bilge/pump and switches. I also have a Renogy 170 Ah flexi solar panel paired to a Victron MPPT to charge the battery box, which the panel mounts to top of bimini. Fantastic boat for the money. Only thing I would like is a more robust underneath, with more abrasion protection.
Alexander Diaz Thank you very much for watching the videos. These are definitely great boats and have many great family moments in these boats. I would just suggest that you look towards the Saturn line because for this price I think they make a much better boat. I have owned both brands Bris is decent but Saturn is definitely significantly better
I have the exact boat powered by Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke. I get top speed of 23 mph with 2 people What onboard. Just wondering, what do you use the front scotty mounts for?
Thank you for an awesome video! I just purchased the same boat used. One question I have is I see you’ve glued around your drain plug was it leaking? Also, can you drill a hole for the fishing pole mount on the back of your boat? Thanks again.
Found you off of inflatablesUK FB page. About your comment of "being seen", I can relate i am always worried especially about large fishing boats heading home and commuter ferries. Just a suggestion for you, I hooked up a 12v car horn directly to my battery with a push button. You will be heard! and fun to honk at the kids who wave at our tiny boat form the shore.
Thank you for watching the video. I ended up selling the boat and when I let it go it was in good condition due to all the upgrades and repairs I had done.
I have a 14 ft inflatable boat and your video has given me some great ideas. With the boat being all the way up closer to the front end of the receiver hitch, do you have any issues when yo make turns, where the back your tow vehicle rubs against the boat? I would really like to know and it will help me to plan out better. Thanks for the video!
Great videos and you've basically convinced me that this is the boat for me. Here's the thing though, I've grown up on boats and have extensive experience with wood, fiberglass, and aluminum boats; however, now an Inflatable boat seems to be a necessity in my life so I very much appreciate your in depth videos. I am a little worried about your trailer setup as it seems like your weight distribution looks too far back. Maybe if you put your fuel and your motor up in the bow of the boat when it's on the trailer it will be enough to make it track nicely behind your car, but otherwise I think you'll get a lot of swaying. Anyway, cool boat and I think I'm going to follow your lead on this one.
Thank you for watching. When I had that set up I would transport the fuel and motor in the trunk of my car. With it not being a true boat trailer I just didn’t feel comfortable. Also considering I had a 4x8 trailer paired with a 15’4” boat there just wasn’t anymore room without adding and extension.
Is there ever a concern or issues of debris coming up from the road and puncturing the bottom of the boat? I'm about to be putting an intex mariner 4 on a HF trailer and that question always pops in my head
sweet - thank you, thank you thank you ... thx for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if it was possible with the 4x8 foldable - love your idea. thx again ... :)
Ha ha! You literally posted this exactly on the day I'm looking for a HF trailer for my Saturn 14'. I really like what you've done to your boat! Would be great if you could show the trailer without the boat on it. Have you had any issues with the wheel bearing? Do you haul the boat with the motor on it or off? Thanks for video!
Gowdaflow Thank you very much the boat is quite heavy so what I will do is the next time I hit the water I will try to make a separate video of the trailer itself. Again thank you for watching the video!
Rambo Stallone I called every HF store within a 100 mile radius, not one has a 48”x96” trailer because of this covid19 crap. So, I actually ended up acquiring a nice Karavan jet ski trailer for my Saturn TR430. It’s about the same size of the boat and fits perfectly in my garage, couldn’t pass the great deal I got. I only have to modify the bunks and service the bearings. Lol @ your profile pic
Great video. Thanks for making it. I bought a Saturn 14' and the same trailer to haul it. I noticed that you built the wooden frame with a board down the center of the trailer. Doesn't this get in the way of the keel? I am going to build a similar frame, and I would like to know your thoughts about this. Thanks again.
Pretty smart of you to deflate the keel. I started building a bunker system and it has proven to be a lot of work with the metal cutting and what not. It doesn't look like you carpeted every part of the wood frame though. I would be concerned with the friction of bare wood on the boat, over time. @@infiniteoutdooradventures2240
Thank you for watching!!! I could not in good conscious recommend anyone to buy this boat. It had many problems right out of the box. Major problems. I would buy a different brand.
Harold Isasi thanks for watching good luck on your purchase. I do believe I got a 6ft long by 72” wide. Make sure check the drain plug seal and definitely assemble before you go out.
Thank you for watching! Not so much that I ran into any problems just decided to move on to a different adventure. The boat itself did have flaws and if I were to get another again I would definitely go with a different company.
awesome boat man. im kinda hesitant to get an inflatable boat for fishing. have you had any problems as far as punctures and how does it ride in choppy waters? seams great to throw a small 7 or 10 outboard and hit the bays.
I have the Saturn 14' SD430 - I was the same as you - very hesitant to fish from an inflatable - after doing some extensive research and actually pulling the trigger and getting it - DUDE it is awesome! Extremely stable - better than anything I've ever been in and very very durable! I fish from mine no problems, the hooks just bounce off the hard PVC, there's no real place to puncture it with these tiny hooks, I would recommend however getting the aluminum floor in it - makes for a much better place to stand and fish.
@G3RMZONE .. Inflatables are commonly used for search & rescue, military landing craft, and similar. They are extremely stable, and almost impossible to flip over. The multiple air chambers make them almost unsinkable. Of course, make sure you get a real inflatable boat (with multiple chambers), not a swimming pool toy. Most fish hooks are no going to pose a problem, but you can take precautions (keep hooks away from the boat, use a net when landing fish, etc). If a tiny hook did puncture one of the air chambers, it would take some time for that chamber to deflate, plenty of time for you to slap on a patch and pump it back up. Of course, carry a patch kit and air pump. Another advantage is how easily they cut through the water. A small motor (4-8hp) will get you going quite nicely. Even a trolling motor will offer speeds of roughly 4-5mph.
Was about to grab the tabs I have the 16.5 Saturn aluminum floors with a 2020 20HP EFI outboard. Would you stick With the size u have or go Up in size like the 10x10? The 10x10 are rated for boats 14’-20’
Nice setup! Curious how you transport the motor with that? Do you transport mounted to the transom and if so do you have anything to support the bottom of the motor while in transport?
Darryl Carden than you for watching!! I personally load the motor in the trunk of my car. I have moved it mounted but just didn’t feel comfortable considering there is no support back there.
Had same issue in the past. I have basically the same set up. I simply just moved the wench forward so that the two boards on my trailer support on bottom of transom and had installed a transom saver bracket onto the trailer that takes all the weight off the transom itself on during transport. Haven’t had a single issue
Right out of the box it was very clear the boat was cut uneven which made the floor sit improperly, the floors were falling apart from the rivets straight out of the box as well if I do recall the drain plug was leaking also. I was also disappointed in the fabric despite having several lesser quality material boats this one ripped on the first outing launching and fishing from the exact same area. For the price of the boat and so many imperfections I could not in good conscience recommend anyone buying this particular boat
Disclaimer: Just so people know I do not endorse or recommend buying a Bris boat. If you decide to buy Please do it at your own discretion. I am not talking down on the brand just giving you an honest review!
Abel Casanova poor craftsmanship I had many repairs to make straight out of the box. Drain plugs, floor cut in correct, floor falling apart all straight out of the box. I couldn’t in good conscious recommend this for this price.
Infinite Outdoor Adventures I appreciate this very much.. I’m new to the inflatable boat game but I do want to be able to fit 4-6 people and possible take out to the ocean.. which brand or model would you recommend? Thanks in advance .
Scot-Free Thank you for watching the video yes they were quite a few problems with this particular model. Problems that I would consider significant especially if you do not have experience with inflatable boats. The cut of the boat was crooked which in turn made it extremely difficult to put the floor in also the floor rivets were falling apart straight out of the box the drain plug had a leak which was the least of my problems but considering how much the boat cost I think that is unacceptable. The bags that come with the boat are absolutely useless again minor but still unacceptable and I did not like the cut of the Transom with the dip in it it fits right in between a short and a long shaft
Scot-Free I would also like to mention surprisingly the upgraded thicker material ripped on my first outing as opposed to the 0.9 mm thinner material which I was very disappointed. I was using the boat at the same area and same exact launch nothing different
Scot-Free I have owned Saturn boats in the past they have an excellent product. They also have a Mercury brand and if you can find one in the United States a Honwave by Honda I hear are as it’s good as they get
First and for most thank you so much for the update on your boat I had couple questions for I was wondering if you had a video of you building the bench seats and where did you get the top from and last but not lease I noticed you didn’t have any registering stickers on your boat is that because where you live you don’t have to have it on there ?
Gerald Paul Thank you very much for the comment I will try to pull the seat and show exactly how I made it also I purchased the top from Amazon it was just a standard boat top but I did buy an inflatable boat Bimini top mounts, I use removable plates I don’t keep them on during transport so I don’t lose them but we are required to register any vessel with the motor here in my state. Again thank you for watching the video!
Also found this good TH-cam on extending the tongue on these trailers so they are truly converted to a boat trailer. th-cam.com/video/f_DiC8-BfV8/w-d-xo.html

In many states, a boat trailer is not required to be registered or have a license plate. The boat hull number covers that. Check your local laws.
Do you have any videos of launching and pulling the boat back up to that trailer? I'm in the process of converting my old HF trailer to something like yours. thanks
Great looking boat, you’ve made some awesome mods.

Why do you have sealer around your drain plug?
Unfortunately the boat came with a leaking drain plug so I reinforced it with silicone.
Where did you get the canopy from ?? Looks great
It came from Amazon. I think it was just a little over $100.

Thank you for watching!!! Sorry for a late response. I put the motor in the truck of my car.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 i have a 100lb outboard...dont know if it will handle the bouncing while trailering.
Nice setup! Curious how you transport the motor with that? Do you transport mounted to the transom and if so do you have anything to support the bottom of the motor while in transport?
Darryl Carden than you for watching!! I personally load the motor in the trunk of my car. I have moved it mounted but just didn’t feel comfortable considering there is no support back there.
Had same issue in the past. I have basically the same set up. I simply just moved the wench forward so that the two boards on my trailer support on bottom of transom and had installed a transom saver bracket onto the trailer that takes all the weight off the transom itself on during transport. Haven’t had a single issue
I’m thinking of buying this boat for spearfishing, what problems did you have with it?
Right out of the box it was very clear the boat was cut uneven which made the floor sit improperly, the floors were falling apart from the rivets straight out of the box as well if I do recall the drain plug was leaking also. I was also disappointed in the fabric despite having several lesser quality material boats this one ripped on the first outing launching and fishing from the exact same area. For the price of the boat and so many imperfections I could not in good conscience recommend anyone buying this particular boat
Nice boat how did you get the benches to stay flat on the boat did you drill holes in the aluminum foor?
looks great
Where did you get the Bimini top? Nice boat dude.
John Lewis Thank you very much I ordered it off of Amazon the company is Seamander. Thank you for watching the video!
Disclaimer: Just so people know I do not endorse or recommend buying a Bris boat. If you decide to buy Please do it at your own discretion. I am not talking down on the brand just giving you an honest review!
Why wouldn’t you recommend? I want one.. honest question.
Abel Casanova poor craftsmanship I had many repairs to make straight out of the box. Drain plugs, floor cut in correct, floor falling apart all straight out of the box. I couldn’t in good conscious recommend this for this price.
Infinite Outdoor Adventures I appreciate this very much.. I’m new to the inflatable boat game but I do want to be able to fit 4-6 people and possible take out to the ocean.. which brand or model would you recommend? Thanks in advance .
Abel Casanova if you are in the USA Saturn or Mercury. If in the UK or you can gets your hands on a Honwave they are very nice.
Infinite Outdoor Adventures you’re the man.. thanks for responding .. I’ll keep watching your videos ..
Hey
I'm just about to order this same one...Any problems with the boat? or suggestions?
Scot-Free Thank you for watching the video yes they were quite a few problems with this particular model. Problems that I would consider significant especially if you do not have experience with inflatable boats. The cut of the boat was crooked which in turn made it extremely difficult to put the floor in also the floor rivets were falling apart straight out of the box the drain plug had a leak which was the least of my problems but considering how much the boat cost I think that is unacceptable. The bags that come with the boat are absolutely useless again minor but still unacceptable and I did not like the cut of the Transom with the dip in it it fits right in between a short and a long shaft
Scot-Free I would also like to mention surprisingly the upgraded thicker material ripped on my first outing as opposed to the 0.9 mm thinner material which I was very disappointed. I was using the boat at the same area and same exact launch nothing different
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 Thanks Brother! Any particular brand you would shoot for next time?
Scot-Free I have owned Saturn boats in the past they have an excellent product. They also have a Mercury brand and if you can find one in the United States a Honwave by Honda I hear are as it’s good as they get
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 Blessings.
That's the 15 footer, isn't it?
Yes
First and for most thank you so much for the update on your boat I had couple questions for I was wondering if you had a video of you building the bench seats and where did you get the top from and last but not lease I noticed you didn’t have any registering stickers on your boat is that because where you live you don’t have to have it on there ?
Gerald Paul Thank you very much for the comment I will try to pull the seat and show exactly how I made it also I purchased the top from Amazon it was just a standard boat top but I did buy an inflatable boat Bimini top mounts, I use removable plates I don’t keep them on during transport so I don’t lose them but we are required to register any vessel with the motor here in my state. Again thank you for watching the video!
Bro, killer boat!
I’m picking one up this week
Need the Bimini tho
Can you please send the link
Or dimensions?
Thanks
Johnny Valencia thanks for watching!!! Here is the link www.amazon.com/Seamander-Bimini-Straps-Mounting-Hardware/dp/B07CNSGQ1K.

Ordered mine yesterday and picked up used 40hp Johnson
Hate to be a pain but can u send link for trim tabs?
Also found this good TH-cam on extending the tongue on these trailers so they are truly converted to a boat trailer.

This is great, sub’d.
Showwwww!!! 👏👏💯🍻
That trailer is too short for the boat, the axle should be farther back, it looks wierd, good thing the boat weighs nothing
If you like to tow a trailer, why not buy an aluminum boat? Larger space, easy to install equipments, better performance, and longer lifespan!
I own other boats and PWCs you can see my Bass Tracker, PWCs and other boats in my other videos.
Fenders for your inflatable? Huh?
They’ve come in handy plenty of times.
