My wife would loose it that fast tho lol lll put on the life jacket toh at least lol cool video will see how mine does tho I only have a 15 ho short shaft motor tho cool video keep them coming fin to watch
Wow cool new video did you put those wheels bracket on yourself I just got my wheels and am to scared to drill holes in my transom tho lol as I do not know how to but I’m watching videos so soon I hope to take my 16 ft Saturn out on the ocean before winter got my a cheap trailer to keep it on got my older 15 hp outboard motor to bought the wheels so that is next them I’m going out in the jetty’s just to test it out amd get a feel for it keep up the video there cool I watch them after I get off work
Thanks for your comments! Yes, we drilled the holes with a good quality bit and filled them with marine grade silicone glue before inserting the mounting bolts and hardware. We also glued the backside of the mounting brackets to the transom to further prevent water intrusion anywhere near the new mounting holes. We haven’t had one issue to date and no signs of water intrusion. I recommend doing everything yourself. Even motor maintenance. Everything is a scam these days and we can learn anything on RU-vid! Can’t wait to see your 16’er!!
I’m curious how far offshore you’re comfortable taking this. I am thinking about one of these setups (maybe the larger sizes) for camping and spearfishing at the Channel Islands, launching from Oxnard. Anacapa is about 11 miles offshore, then just hopping from island to island.
100% go for it. I would be comfortable taking this to the backside of Catalina, which we plan on doing in the next month or two. Obviously, we will always abide by and recommend having a waterproof VHF radio, flares, fire extinguisher, and at least 25 miles in spare fuel. Aside from the inflatable being punctured by a great white, that should remove a lot of the risk. The boat itself is extremely capable and confidence inspiring. Even in very rough conditions, crawling through heavy ocean conditions and 15-20mph winds at 5 to 8 mph is more than reasonable. It might take a little bit longer to reach a destination at that speed, but safety is always a priority when going offshore. In other words, treat this as you would any other 35 foot single motor fishing boat and you’ll be fine. A little prayer wouldn’t hurt either. 🙏🏻😝
@@TellerWhat yes. We will make a video about it. Trying to get a insta360 for the trip! We look forward to taking you all on our adventure across the infamously unpredictable, San Pedro Channel to Catalina.
Nice video. Thank you! Would you recommend your pump (if yes what is it) and how long does it take to inflate the whole boat? I read some of these dual function pumps require 10 minutes cool down in the middle of inflating - which I’d like avoid. Thank you!!
It takes about 6 minutes to inflate the entire boat. I use the DONGYAN SUP Air Pump, 12V Digital. it’s available on Amazon and it’s a two stage pump. You don’t need to wait to cool this down between inflations. It works great and we’ve had it for years. Hope this helps.
Just seen your video cool amd mine has the over pressure valves it’s a good idea I have the 16 ft inflatable sd 488 with aluminum floor all the valve does is when you put to much pressure it let’s some out on the ocean you would be fine it’s a great protection tho Amd they made it on the 2021 and above I bleave can’t wait to take mine out I’m not like you and your wife illl be in the jetty first tho before I take ot out with the sharks tho lol cool to finally see another video soon I’ll post mine on here tho not as good as videos as you have tho
@@donaldmartin4620 lol we’re glad you left this comment. TBH I’m not 100% sure about OPV now that I think about it. I’ll definitely double check. It would make sense if we got old stock from boats2go. We definitely have lifejackets on board and wear them when we go into open ocean. But kindly noted, we will start wearing them in, and out of, our videos to set a good example. 🙏🏻
@donaldmartin4620 its not a good idea to have pressure relief valve open while in ocean. I ordered cap and i cap mine, i have sd385. Ive tested mine during hot day, first experience was bad, limp boat, cant plane after few ppl got in there on hot day, (because it was expeling air, plus some sellers like saturn rafts, place their valves way below recommended pressures, worsening whole experience of riding all together) Then i bought cap and capped it, i only inflated to 3.0 psi on main 3 chambers (recommended 3.6) and guess what, after being on water for 5-6 hrs, I decided to open cap from pressure relief valve, and immediately, ton of air started expeling, making main chambers half limp. So i inflate below recommended which is 3.0 (enough to make boat firm) and cap the pressure relief valve. Only good idea to open during storage.
@@ia6980 on my 2024 it’s has the cap all that the pressure release valve only open amd release pressure whem it’s over filled woth to much air I have no issues with mine even on the ocean or let’s a little out I have the newer model with 5 chamber because of you or not have one and over fill it or it’s really hot out amd it’s a safety feature on mine I’m good with it tho as it’s a 16 ft woth alum floor on the smaller dingy you don’t need them to go
