Catching Ahi's With My Inflatable Boat 

Really guy can you be a bit more tactful.

Probably safer than a 20ft fibreglass boat in chop.

I built it from a tutorial video on youtube. The channels name was flying fish tv, really helpful and simple video on how to build it.

You get your boat? How big? Where you at and how does it handle. Thank you

the wheels are from brocraft. they are rust proof. probably made out of aluminum

yea it holds my live bait

Don't think i can answer this question I've only ever been to Kauai and Oahu sorry!

good for lighter chartplotters, i tried to put a 7 inch garmin touch screen and it almost ripped off lol.

Ima stick with a 4inch screen 🤣 was thinking of the 7 inch

Forgot I already asked you. Your best guess is still appreciated. Thank you. Tight lines.

I live on the windy side of oahu so i can only go a couple of times a month. if you live in areas where the weather is calm you can go alot.

east side of oahu, and yes I use a garmin sounder

Good job using the inflatable in the sea👍 got to give it a try too.

Is that Diamond Head we're seeing on the Island? Cool video!

they used to. I take them off now and store them in my boat.

4Hp

Robert Dean did you get your boat?

Use the 303 UV Protectant Spray before you head out.. it works wonders on the pvc. Make sure the PVC boat has Heat Welded seams.

10/10 A +

you can take the wheels off which is what i do now.

saw your comment, bought the costco inflatabe for fishing a couple months ago. sold my kayak. should have never bought the kayak for fishing. was inspired by this guys vids to buy an inflatable. no regrets. running a 4hp, using rechargeable pump , a must have , everything fits in my suv. In 4 trips, aku, rainbow runner, ono, and a couple days ago about 30 lb uku, and lost a mahi.opelu and weke ula, taape, moana stuff I wasnt even trying for. Only one day was nice, windward side, a couple days ago, nuts out there. a 20 ft boat would have been bobbing. The onflatable handles, was wet all day, got washed over several times. wind was constant 20 plus. Have taken it offshore over 6 miles out. But you really dont have to. Find the opelu and fish in the general area the bait is. Im running external tank, 3 gallon, I use maybe a gallon and half all day. trying to fill internal tank with can at sea , lame. any questions lmk

@@jremodel9294 what size inflatable did you buy bro, also wanting to sell my kayak and get a 10ft inflatable with 6hp Suzuki,looks like a lot of fun

@@eastcoastanglingadventures282 You on East Coast? I got the one costco sells, Tobin Sports. like 10ft. have a 4hp, 4 stroke external 3 gallon. only use a gallon and a half at most. Doesnt go real fast, enough though for the type of fishing, Try and catch bait opelu/maceral float or very slow troll with the live bait. I like it, a must is a electric pump, got mine amazon like 120, had good reviews , rechargeable. For years I would see guys with one costco sells, and Id ask, any good? always got positive responses. rubber is thick, just have to be conscious of hooks. I use a yoga mat over the blow up floor, extra protection. and in the center both sides made something out of thick rubber to cover the tubes. area where I bring fish and hooks in, added layer of protection.

@@jremodel9294 nice bud,no ,I'm actually in Australia haha,I had a 14 foot RIB with 2 x 30s on the back,and that little boat could handle big seas with ease, now just wanting something smaller without the hassle of towing etc, can you fish with a second person on yours,or only go by yourself?

@@eastcoastanglingadventures282 I go by myself, but with gear, could fit 2, Its rated for 1400 lbs, Ive seen 5 people on them before. Last time I wet out was very rough, big seasm strong winds, wet the whole day, got washed over a few times, waves knocked my glasses off my face into the water. had a US coast card plane fly over me, check if I was ok. Actually when I go out, military planes and helicopters and even civilian ones will divert and fly over me.. They thinking what is this nut case doing way out here and this rough. Ive had 2@19 ft and last one 22ft twin 90 hondas, Then a sailing kayak, now a new toy, smaller, but fun , easy to store, gas is cheap. etc. Rolls up and fits in my SUV. Catching, big cuda, ono/wahoo mahi tunas etc

boat cost around 955$ and i bought it on amazon

yes it is

@@inflatablefishing6912 did you use loctite or some other adhesive instead of the 3M pad?

@@whysidecole the ones I bought from amazon came with a 3mm glue on pad

they are solid with waves and small chop. just a bummer that you can't carry a gaff.

You can carry a gaff you just have to be careful!

I use a 10ft in Alaska. Been in some pretty rough stuff and feel super safe. Just remember to wear life vest and radio. Good stuff! I have my kayak and inflatable. They serve different purposes lol.

Richards inflatable boat I'm almost about to pull the trigger on my boat. Nice seeing you on here! I was gonna say Richard carries one!

@@jtx8654 hey dude do you you think a sixteen foot rib boat with a 40 horsepower motor and center console could handle most days inn East Hawaii where the water is usually a little bit rougher? I have the option of buying a 16ft rib or a regular 20-footer from Florida. Thanks.

totally, you can also get an automatic air pump to speed up the process of inflating your boat.

@@inflatablefishing6912 Amazing! Doing this ASAP. Incredible man! Tight lines and thanks so much for the reply. This helps a ton!

James Hyatt did u get your boat

@@jacobgreen6939 Not yet man. Work went on a downturn but I still plan to get one before summer starts for sure

Word where u out of

The Boat is a Newport Vessel called the "Dana". Its 8ft 10 inches.

only way i get it to plane is by sitting near the front of the boat

@@inflatablefishing6912 thanks, I tried that too. think i will try another prop, great boat otherwise...big fat tubes, very buoyant. what HP is the Honda?

@@andrewlucas1595 4hp

​@@inflatablefishing6912 You know that you can increase the HP with a 6HP carb and coil assy.

good advice this was a while back and i was still learning.
