After messing around with an Intex Seahawk 3 and a Suzuki DF2.5 Outboard I decided I needed to upgrade to something more serious if I was going to start enjoying the water (the Intex raft could not handle this motor). So I bought the Inmar 290H-TS (9'6") Tender Series Inflatable Boat with the Air Floor for $1,373.71 delivered. I'll be mounting my existing 2021 Suzuki DF2.5s ($837.35 delivered) to the boat and hopefully end up with a motor and boat that I can transport with my Mazda 3 sedan, without attaching any trailer. I should have enough space left to easily pack two people for a weekend getaway or even slightly longer adventures. The motor should provided enough power to get moving around a joggers pace, but likely won't get the boat on plane. So if I like this setup enough, I'll consider spending another $1,500 for a 6 hp motor, which should be able to get this boat and two people on plane...or at least that's my theory.
I'll post a follow-up video of my first excursion, and another one where I install some transom wheels. Stay tuned.
