Welcome to the club! I think that's a wise choice. For me the 330 is heavy enough. Pulling the 330 with the tiny 6ph motor up the ramp was already a big workout for me. I don't think I can handle the 400 by myself.
Hey man my true kit 3.3 is on the way, and I am very curious. I dont want to much weight, but I am worried that 6 hp is not enough. What topspeed do you get once the motor was ready for full throttle ? Also I am very curious about the wheels since i saw another video where they did block the movement of the engine and that was also a 3,3 so I am quite puzzled that it worked for you :0). Hope you can give some feedback
My motor can move without any problem and the wheels don't get into the way (see 1:05). I haven't used the boat for a while, but I think with a 6hp 4 stroke engine you will get 10~12mph max. If you want faster try to get a 2 stroke engine, which is ligter so you can get more hp for the same weight.
Thanks for posting--two questions if I may. What is the SLOWEST speed you can run? Second, did you compare this Suzuki with any other 6 before purchase--I mean on paper? The Tohatsu, the Yamaha, etc./all? thank you
I didn't measure but it was pretty slow in idle. Maybe 2 miles per hour if I have to guess. I picked Suzuki because it is the lightest in weight in the 6hp class. Tohatsu (same as Mercury) is slightly heavier and Yamaha is quite a bit heavier and more expensive.
@@fishandrib8672 Thanks for that--did the engine lock in place if you want it to not turn--and not have to stay back there with it while it is running? Thank you again, and thanks for posting
I think I'm going for the 330....It'll fit fully inflated inside my 7'X12" cargo trailer with ramp rear door...Am pretty sure I can pack all camping gear around it and soft bags inside boat when travelling.....My goal is to camp out on as many Florida beaches as I can, plus the keys.....Planning on hitting the road in 2 months or so....Will make some vids (haven't shot any vids for a couple years at least)....My camera equipment is gettin' dusty.... ;o)
Was chosing between the 330 or the 4 but went with the 330 for the lighter weight. Hope I made the right decision ! Looks great

@@axscdvfb yes 80% of the time it will be just me and other days with my wife or a friend so 330 is plenty
Nice. I just ordered the 4.0 m. One thing I have learned there is never enough space in a small boat...
Beautiful boat... Suzuki 6hp look and work very good with the boat for river..🌝🌝

Have you ordered it yet? it might take a while to arrive in the US via DHL. Good luck!
My Discovery 330 arrives this week in Florida, USA! Ordered with the wheels and going to put a Suzuki 15 on it. Any first impressions?
The DF6 is good enough for me. My main problem is I should go out more often!
We are truly enjoying our 330. I would suggest getting the front bow four point harness (I made mine). It makes all the difference pulling solo...
I cant get a reliable indicator of duty fees on these...any ideas?
I wasn't charged any duty fees by US customs.
@@fishandrib8672 interesting...I may just take the chance. I cant get a definite.
The boat looks nice. Did you import it from New Zealand? Awesome!
Yes I did
Nice! We are enjoying our 330 as well...are your numbers painted on?
Yes, I used sharpies and stencils.
How is it holding up ?
I’ve had it almost 4 years but haven’t used it that much so I don’t know 😂
@@fishandrib8672 hahaha don't worry I sold mine after 2 years
Yeah mine was a COXiD impulse buy. I’ll probably sell it for pennies on the dollar.
how much it costs only the boat.
I bought it here and had it shipped to the USA truekit.net/products/true-kit-discovery?variant=32903035654
I love boat
