Here's a Great Hunting Video You Will Enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nZ0igoAh__g.html

@mikenrickoutdoors Месяц назад

Thank you for linking to the video. Rick

@theinflatableboatownersnet5684 2 года назад

Great video. its worth mentioning that the difference between 0.9mm and 1.2mm is alot of extra weight over the whole boat, but the extra wear patches are a great idea.

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

Good point. We'll be taking it out on the Arkansas river this weekend near Salida, Colorado, and since the river is low, we'll see how irritated we get if we have to drag the raft over a lot of rocks. To bad part of the weight in the boat will be me. It's time to lose more weight.

@donaldmartin4620 Месяц назад

Finally you are the first to show how to put that bracket connected to the aluminum floor out of Al the video s on your you are the only one to show exactly by lifting up the aluminum floor amd showing best video yet

Thank you for the thumbs up. Much appreciated. Rick

@mikealfred9134 2 года назад

I have the 16ft. I put a 20hp 4 stroke Merc on it. Can do 33mph solo. Very important to inflate the boat and keel properly to achieve smooth ride and planing. Also it's worth mentioning those side panel supports are a huge pain putting on.

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment. I agree, that installing the side panels are a major pain, but we have gotten better at putting them on now, plus it's easier with two people. Thanks for leaving a comment, including the speed you're able to get. Rick

I have the 3.8 and have a Mercury 25HP 2 Stroke. Also have installed an under deck bilge and also use a Simrad GO 9 XSE - Live in Sydney, Australia. Also added a Bimini, and also have a lithium battery box, and Victron MPPT, and a RENOGY 170W solar panel on top of Bimini.....Great boat so far.....

Thanks for this, it definitely helped me decide to purchase and helped put it together. That floor could be a problem!

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful! We just finished floating part of the Arkansas river north of Salida, Colorado. The river was extremely low, the rafting was technical and we ran over a lot of rocks and bumped into many more. The BRIS boat held up great and we'll be posting that review later this week.

@savagemako17 2 года назад

Looks like a great boat, especially for the money. My only problem with any of these inflatables is the fact that you assemble and disassemble. This gets to be a PITA, especially the deflating after your done. Now you have a wet boat attracting sand and dirt and you're trying to deflate it enough to go back in the bag. I'm sure the process quickens with familiarity, but for me, this old adage will prevail. "The easier something is to do or use, the more often you will do it or use it". I would build this boat once and leave it that way on a trailer. I would take the motor off, but that is about it. I would take the floor out a couple of times a year to clean and/or let dry, but the constant set up and tear down would turn me off pretty quickly. I'm thinking about going this route, but an electric pump is a must. Thanks for the video. Hope you are enjoying it.

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

I agree with you about inflating the raft and leaving it that way, at least for the summer, and transporting it on a trailer. I have given my opinion to Mike several times but it's more convenient for him to not pull a trailer and break it down after each use. I will say that the setup and breakdown is a lot easier then I expected it to be, especially if you have two people. We appreciate your comments and opinions. Thanks, Rick

@alexandrei1053 11 месяцев назад

Yes good points but these are a great options for people who do not have storage or don't own a house on a land. Myself I'm a Condo owner so this is the closest thing I can get to a boat. Easy to pack. 20-30 mins max which is ok. For me I go fishing so I don't mind putting it together it as long as I don't fish from the shore anymore :) Cheers

@johanwithag2432 11 месяцев назад

I have the same boat (in 10.8ft). To get the floor in easily only very little air should be in the tubes. If the beams are in you can always reposition the floor al little. Finally the floor will adjust itself if the tubes are filled up. 1.2 mm ads at least 8 kg of extra weight to the boat. The next time i go for a 0.9 mm. Just as strong and good.

@mikenrickoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for letting us know and what your preference is. It has been a great boat for Mike and is still holding up well. Thanks, Rick

@alancadieux2984 Год назад

Is the transom 1 peice welded aluminum like a stryker inflatable boat? And what is the height of the transom? Been looking over a few brands, the stryker pro has full coverage on the bottom for abrasion protection, a 20 inch transom as compared to a 15 inch, these are things that i am willing to pay for when making the investment. The only thing i noticed was that to make 1st assembly easier, they recommend to inflate the boat and leave it sit for 24 hrs, then deflate partially and put everything else into it, but not absolutely essential.

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

I apologize for the late reply. I'll send your questions on to Mike, but I do know the Transom is not welded aluminum. I'll respond back here when Mike sends his comments. Rick

How hot to the touch does that black get when out in the summer?

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Mike and I have been out twice here in Colorado during the summer on warm sunny days and the surface does not get hot, at least not that I have realized. Rick

@THELIFEDREAMER.1329 Год назад

I got mine like two weeks ago, it's a real pain on the neck to set up this boat. Fabric is really tight and heavy ( one of the reasons that influence my decision of buying one). I didn't put it on the water yet but I hope to be able to do it this week. I hope it lasts!

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Hey Carlos. You're right, the first time you set it up it takes a lot longer, especially when separating the seams between the side tubes and the flooring, and then getting the floor put in is also a pain. However, after the first time, the following setups have been easier for Mike and I. The boat is holding up extremely well for us, even when we hit a lot of rocks on the bottom of the boat when we floated the Arkansas River north of Salina, Colorado last year. The water was really low and we were the only guys on the river that were stupid enough to try it, but the boat handled it well, even with a few nice scrapes on the bottom, it's still holding up well. Rick

@THELIFEDREAMER.1329 Год назад

@@mikenrickoutdoors Hi Mike , I have to Tell you something, toughness is the main reason because I bought this one. I know that at the moment, this boat is the only one that is using that pvc fabric thickness on inflatables ,so, my only hope is that the quality of the fabric is high. On the other side one of the big cons on this one is that is heavy an not easy to be handled by one person. Thanks for your video is really informative and let me tell you, after seeing your video , I feel better knowing that I made the right decision. I am hoping to put it on the water probably tomorrow with a 9.9hp four stroke tohatsu (another pain on the neck to carry.... Omg, I really like suffering!)

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Mike bought transom wheels and attached to the back of the boat so it's easier to move around. You can see what he bought and how he attached them in this link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G0by9dWjC0s.html. Let us know how you like using it and if you have any questions. I'll let Mike know you've bought one and have him respond to you if you have questions. Rick

@fc7424 2 года назад

It's a shame they don't make that model in any other colors. A lighter color would be nice, won't get so hot in the sun.

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

I agree that additional colors would be nice, but black is more stealthy, not that it matters to fish though.

@MadisonFishing Год назад

@@mikenrickoutdoors the color definitely matters to fish. A black hull is more appealing as cover than lighter colors.

@markgillie9074 Год назад

Wrong on the colour. Light colour or ‘sky’ colour is better for fishing. Black is the most noticeable colour from below. That’s why sharks are light colour underneath and dark on top.

@mikenrickoutdoors 10 месяцев назад

Good points. Rick

@PonchMuniz Год назад

Hey Mr. Rick is this the only color they have for the Fish Hunter?

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Mike wanted a different color but as of the time he purchased it, black was the only color. Rick

@provisionlines9599 Год назад

Hi,did you have any issues with your boat how was your experience with the Bris customer service? Thanks

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Mike is the one who bought the boat and he has had no trouble with customer service. One piece had a small crack on the front floor piece but they replaced it and he had a new one with two or three days. We have had the boat out on several lakes and the Arkansas River here in Colorado and have been beating it up but it's still holding up strong. We cracked an oar on the river but BRIS replaced it free of charge. We're taking the boat back out this coming week near Telluride, Colorado for our last trout fishing trip of the year and we know some ice is forming around the edges of the lake so this will be a good cold weather test. I'll let you know after the trip how it did in the cold weather and lake. We may have to break some ice to get away from the shore line but most of the lake is still ice free. Rick

@vanbrudenrijden5932 Год назад

How many places is the keel attached? One or two or three?

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

I apologize for the late reply. I have helped set up the boat many times but I don't remember how many attachment points there are. I have sent an email to Mike and will let you know shortly. Rick

@DeepBlueDiscoveries825 Год назад

How long would you say it takes to set up from start to finish?

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Hey Cody. With 2 people it takes about 15 minutes at the fastest. It's more like 20 to 30 minutes for one person, depending on how fast you are. Rick

@dojachris1966 Год назад

How has this boat hold up after year of use

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Mike has really taken care of it and other then a few scratches on the bottom, due to our Arkansas River float trip in Colorado last year, it's held up great. We're taking it back out to SW Colorado at the end of July and expect no problems. We'll have an updated video of that fishing trip so everyone can see the shape it's in. Rick

@palmwinetapper 2 года назад

Have the same boat and its really heavy.

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

You are correct. It can be a challenge loading and unloading it into your vehicle if you set it up and break it down often. Mike bought some transom wheels he attached to the back of the boat that makes it a lot easier to maneuver around when it's inflated.

@calvinshum8019 25 дней назад

May I ask if you are still using the boat? can you hold up?

@mikenrickoutdoors 25 дней назад

We do still use the boat but we split the time now between it and our kayaks. The boat is holding up extremely well. Mike has been really happy with it. Let us know if you have any other questions. Rick

@PonchMuniz Год назад

Does it have a keel?

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

Yes, it does have a keel and mike has attached both the transom wheels to it and a trolling motor. Rick

@danielcharbonneau222 11 месяцев назад

Great video guys. Question; now that it's been a year + How is this boat holding up. I'm thinking of buying one, but, I would like to know how you feel. Would you buy another or get something else. I'm a new subscriber here from Northern Ontario Canada. Cheers.

@mikenrickoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for subscribing. We're taking the boat out again this coming week in Colorado for a week long fishing trip and Mike just bought an 18 h.p. motor to get us around the lake faster. The boat has held up extremely well and Mike is really happy with it. We'll have some more reviews of it soon after we get back from this fishing trip. Rick

I am thinking to purchase the exact same boat. Can you tell me how is it holding within the last three or four years you have had it? Any issues or regrets

@mikenrickoutdoors Год назад

We have had the boat out on rivers with a lot of rocks and hitting bottom a lot, and on a lot of lakes. It is holding up really well. We cracked an oar once, but BRIS sent a replacement within a week. There are some things we want to add to the boat, such as better seats, but we have been extremely happy with the boat and BRIS has been really responsive when we needed something replaced. Let us know if you have any other questions. Rick

@aaronjahed2692 Год назад

@MikenRickOutdoors Thanks, I was trying to purchase and read some reviews that the seams and handles are falling apart within 2 years and that it was a piece of crap. So that scared us off. I guess will put the pin and purchase the Bris 470

Bris also includes Hull # and Papers, so you can register it legally!!.......many of the cheaper brands do NOT have this, so you're screwed if you wanna take it on Public rivers or Ocean. Bris is the cheapest "quality" brand I would buy.......any cheaper and they Start to get sketchy for sure, LOL

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

Hey Mike. Thanks for your thoughts and comments. What is the best inflatable boat you think is on the market, especially if someone is concerned about the money? Rick

@michaeljuddworkingforyou4340 10 месяцев назад

Bris boats look good. However in my experience, gained by wat of a lot of grief, I am of the opinion that they do not stand behind their product if there is a problem..... and that they use deceptive practices to avoid warranty work. From day one the boat I bought had a leak.... they strung me along and avoided me until the warranty period was over. Then then offered to sell be new again. I am of the impression one should stay far away from Bris. All aforementioned is my sole opinion of course.

@mikenrickoutdoors 10 месяцев назад

It's good to hear about other people's experiences, but Mike has not had the same experience. Every issues he has had, and there have only been two that I recall, has been dealt with quickly by BRIS and they have sent him new parts within the week. Thanks for sharing your experience. Rick

@mikenrickoutdoors 2 года назад

We understand that BRIS Boat is not the highest quality rubber raft on the market. It's Mike's first inflatable boat. The size and price, plus the thickness of the material on the bottom was what influenced him to buy this one. The BRIS boat has held up well so far, but we'll keep watching for problems and let our readers know if and when they do show up so people can make an informed decision if they decide to buy an inflatable boat. Thanks for leaving a comment with your opinion and experience with BRIS Boat. Thanks, Rick
