I really like that inflatable skiff. I'd keep an elec pump in my truck, and the portable pump on-board. I'd keep it in my garage, and on my trailer, or my kayak cart. And I'd go with a 6hp Suzuki. For a solo setup, with my storage, gear, and accessories. Awesome boat. 😎 🎣
If you left it sitting for too long, the gasoline turned into gunk, and it clogs your carburetor. The same thing happened to mine had to take the carburetor out and clean it then it started right up.
Having tried the new Newport AIr Skiff at iCast today with the 3HP, i think it will do amazing on this boat! thats that I will take with me in the keys
Nice video! I see the advantage, especially for carrying a 2nd person, but I'm not quite ready to trust my fishing platform to those air tubes. I actually looked into the really high-end air-filled dinghies (like yacht tenders) but those are off the chart price-wise! Also, I am wrestling with pickup bed carry vs trailer for my kayak. I want to make it physically more comfortable to launch, but having to care for a trailer (wheels, axle, lights, etc.) makes pickup truck bed carry a big advantage.
Interested to see you take this thing fishing! I think the 9.9hp is a bit much in terms of weight. You can try to flip it - should be a real challenge.
@@patrickholcomb9628 yup, it finally ran, the problem is the motor does not know what reverse is sometimes, goes crazy, this day the Chock thingie was broken and the gas was bad. th-cam.com/video/sOeazVOW0ZA/w-d-xo.html
Hey Alex. Do you know where this Lite Air skiff is manufactured ?Probably doesn't make a huge difference if its well made. But would be nice to know. Thanks
buddy i am SO ready for a 5hp electric. I think they are right around the corner. I took my brand new 5hp merc down to the river on saturday, got it warmed up, and ... didn't have it secured to the transom, dunked the whole thing. That wouldn't have been a big deal with my trolling motor, but this gas motor, i had to flush the oil and fuel systems back at home. 2.5hrs there, an hour of getting my motor off the riverbed, and then 2.5hrs driving home again...
There's electric outboards with significantly more horsepower than that. But the motor is roughly double the price of gas outboard. Then the big, heavy lithium batteries are about the same cost as motor. So over $5k for 6 hp electric outboard and battery.
@jimsomerville3924 that's what I mean when I say around the corner. The motors get expensive fast and then can't run wot for more than an hour or so, or have bulky batteries. Need more efficient motors and higher capacity batteries and we'll be there.
@@duyhuynh2008 congrats, yeah the boat will need to be registered, not the motor unless you are in Texas, Chek your local regs, did you use my discount codes?
@@AliexFolgueira i'm glad you asked, i bought it from TBnation and forgot to. Literally, 10 minutes later, i realized my mistake, I called and left a message to them, texted them, emailed them. I hope I get the discount man!
@@duyhuynh2008 nice! just need to register the craft, you probably paid taxes on it already so the registration should be under $100 annual fee under $20
Cool standing bar! Aliex, maybe you could get a price for that stand seperately so I could use it on a solid yak? Big bites,full baskets, and God’s blessings to you my friend! ❤ { Tim
@AliexFolgueira same exact style, yes copied. Same manufacturer makes Nike and Under armor, but they don't make same exact products and just change the name 🤣🤣
Alex I wish you would use your bully pulpit to rage against the counties disregard for those of who use that launch site. I met with the county officials three years ago and they promised to improve that ramp. The last time I was there I slipped and hyper extended my knee, thankfully I healed but the ramp is a disgrace race. Please reach out to me and let’s push to improve that ramp and others along the bay. My number is 305-345-2093.
Hey Martin, Man i'm sorry you got injured, I rant about that ramp every time I use it, I was planning to do a CALL OUT VIDEO so they fix it but I know what they are going to do is just shut down the park for God knows how long, Bill Baggs Fishing Piers are still down, but you got hurt and others will get hurt, so maybe it needs to be shut down.
Alex let me know if you decide to tank. I can meet you with my aircraft carrier I mean my Hobie PA 14 and we can film the challenges. I mow launch at Matheson it is a lot easier but the fishing is not the same.

I’m loving the air skiff for shallow rocky rivers! I’ve got the NK300 rigged up on it
It felt like christmass morning watching you puting together that watercraft.
thank you! always fun to put boats together

Needs slots for another bench seat in front of the stand up bar.
You sit on the cooler
I got an aqous pontoon …. The OG plain Jane pontoon inflatable 😂. Keep us updated on the mercury 9.9
yeah, i gotta figure out how to move it to the water, i think i will build a Outboard hauler with heavy sand tires
Nice setup - a little too big for me - can’t wait to see how you accessorize it 👍

Great video! Thank you. Hey you need to water that banana tree in the background 😉
thanks, just took it out in the keys today, did super well, the banana tree was just transplanted, gonna take a while to look nice
This looks like a good candidate for an electric motor like a Torqueedo
Yup better electric

Don’t think of it like a pool float it’s much closer to a tire.
Dude, that thing is awesome. Can I rent it for a day?
Looks nice!! The Sea eagle fish skiff has some competition! Cannot wait to see some more videos of it out on the water!!
It does! also new ones will be announced at iCast stay tuned,I saw a few new air skiff from other brands

nice
When are you getting a bonafide XTR130 😂 that thing is crazy. Fully rigged out your probably looking at 10-12 grand maybe more 😂
I won't be buying it and I doubt they will send me one, someone involved with bonafide is not a fan of me for sure
