I had ones of these when I was 11yr with a 6hp. Did some serious KM,s in it, had heaps of fun, super stable. But the only negative was how wet i got!!!!! The smartwave 3500 is super dry, you should give one a try, not much more expensive. Great Vids by the way!!!
I actually rang my dealer in Sydney to get a quote on one but they aren't importing them anymore haha will have to use this for a while now till I upgrade again maybe next year
Seems to ride smooth mate, I subbed to learn about the style of boat and I like to watch fishing What do you like about this boat and are there bad points versus the normal roof topper tinny? Cheers
Yep love the boat for a 3m boat it's very stable I even go about 2km from the shoreline. Bad points I would say its very wet and being 3m there's limitations to it. But it only cost for 6k for boar and trailer so can't complain
What position up from the bottom are you running the trim. My tuffy sprays water pretty bad wide open throttle my best is all the way up and most weight in back for a lifted bow
Great vid. I'm researching on inflatables and True Kit seems to be one of the best on the market. Doesnt seem to have a dealer in Australia/Sydney that stock their boats. Wondering if you have experience with brands of inflatable boats before you decided on True Kit. Also wondering if trolling motor would be sufficient on the Discovery 330 or the petrol motor 5hp would be better. I'm looking to get into fishing in Sydney waters with my dad, and other times just cruising around with family.
Hello mate I am also from Sydney Australia and also done a lot of research before landing on True Kit because of their quality and because I pack up and down every time it was the lightest in its size. I also looked up a place in Menai called Island Inflatable Boats but they are heavier in size
@@andrewmichael219 I was planning to go into Island Inflatable to check them out. Weight and storage are my biggest issues as I live in apartments, don't have lockup garage for storage. What do you recommend on the motor? Electric or petrol? Do you need boat licence?
I live in an apartment too which is why I sold my kayak and bought an inflatable. If rolled up correctly it can fit in a bedroom. I started off with a 5hp which needed no licence but now upgraded to 10hp which does but its a lengthy process to register as its from new Zealand
u r giving that parsun brand a bad rep hahahaaa reckon u needed to open the top valve way before. How good are those motors? i'm thinking about getting one of those, U can get one parsun 8hp 2t for NZ$ 1600. Cheers from Peru.
Haha they go alright man. It's just difficult starting it cold especially when using the internal tank as there's no pump to pump the fuel through the engine.
Loved the vid only one on the internet that shows setup right through. Love to see your review of the boat now and thoughts, also how to wash down when you get back before packing up.?
Boat is awesome! Still get excited every time I use it. After I finish I roll it up and store in my car and then inflate it back up for a quick hose down. To be honest it's time consuming but then again it beats having a trailer boat and will prob take the same time as washing that down and reversing the trailer etc. Would recommend 10/10
@@andrewmichael219 thanks for that great reply, do you keep it deflated after drying and then storing in between using it.? I was thinking of not having a trailer and similar to you.
@@douger1517 I leave it inflated about 50% in my garage overnight to dry it before packing but it wouldn't matter if dry or not when storing for short amount of time.
Hey yes the 5hp goes pretty decent actually not sure what speeds I get but when I have gear and another person on board It struggles a bit so I have no got a 2 stroke 9.9 Mariner which is so much better
@@andrewmichael219 thats good to hear. Ive just ordered my 330 and have a 6hp yamaha 4 stroke to fit on it, would have preferred a 9.9 2 stroke but they dont last long on the market. Cheers.
It seems that getting small outboards to prime when they first start is a common problem. I watched a vid the other day where a guy had a couple of fixes for that. It has something to do with them not drawing fuel to the carb because of air pressure. So it takes a few pulls to work the fuel through the lines. Might be something to check out if your interested. How do you find the tracking on your 330? Do you think the V hull inflatables are worth the extra investment? I have to be constantly correcting my Colorado to keep her in any sort of direction for trolling. And I mean constantly and that is on quiet ponds with no currant or wind.
Yea it takes a while to prime but I hadn't use this motor in about 2 months so I knew it would take a while to start cold. I think both models have their ups and downs. I know with v shape it cuts through the water easier but can also be tippy when standing on one side as for the flat bottom it sits on top of the water so it isn't very tippy and can go into more shallower waters
*LOVE this boat==>**share4.photo/RiotKayak?ѱㅜ ** Been on flat water, ww1-111, handled beautifully on all circumstances. Looking forward to floating the Buffalo sometime this summer.*
*I am very happy with my choice==>**share4.photo/RiotKayak?ѽㅖ** This is my first “real” kayak. I had the inflatable Intex double person last year, which I enjoyed. This one is comfortable, roomy, stable, tracks nice, easy to maneuver and yet lightweight around 40lbs. It has a place for a water bottle in front and a storage/cooler covered compartment in the back. I am very pleased. Scheduled delivery service was also awesome and friendly and took good care of transporting it. Enjoy if you decide on this one! In my opinion it will not disappoint. Mine is pink!*
Nice yak man! Do you like the mako? What do you think about installing Bixpy on the rudder? Does your pedal drive make a lot of noise? Mine is very loud
Thank you ! yes i love it especially how its lightweight and easy to lift off the roof of my car. Funds are a bit short at the moment but definitely looking to purchase within the next year or so and yes its a bit noisy but nothing that bothers or worries me :)
