Who needs a yacht? This man showed us a tour of his cockpit, galley, and owner’s cabin with full sized bed! All on a 14 foot inflatable! Seriously showed how much you can do, and that cauldron thermos is great.

@ChristopherQuest 10 месяцев назад

Hey Matt, Thanks for the nice comment. lol - Living near a lot of USAF land (no access) - it's sometimes fun to stay on the boat. Life is short, gotta make memories - some day my grandkids will laugh and enjoy. Thanks for watching!

Hey Chris, you are my hero! Many people believe that adventure is only for young people and it's not! You are the prove that's not true. I am 55 but in my heart I am still 25, I got an inflatable boat set up with a 9.9 tohatsu. I really love doing things like this but I just getting into this,for me , new world of boats and water adventures. Thanks for sharing this experiences with us my friend! Great video!

@THELIFEDREAMER.1329 Год назад

@@ChristopherQuest Hey Chris, thank you very much for your answer, even though that after I made the question I realized that you mention that in your video!lol.. Whatever, the thing is, I just got another boat, It is the BRIS 1.2mm PVC 12.5 ft heavy duty and. I was trying to take advantage of your experience about this because is the first time I bought a Bris brand, one that I am still waiting for the delivery. I already have two more, a mariner 4 and a bestway hydro force mirovia pro 130" , by the way, beautiful one the Mirovia but a little small. Thanks again Chris and happy adventures!

Hey Chris, this is an awsome set up and exactly what I have been planning for later in the year. I am a keen Fisherman and think it would be a really good way of doing a little off shore fishing without the need for big boat storage. How about a tour of your boat showing how you have set it up and how you have installed everything especially the 12 volt take off from the engine. Great channel and thanks for the content all the way from Scotland 👍

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

Hello Harry, Thank you for watching, it is actually you all that has influenced my decision to adventure on this type of boat. I have another video or two on the Christopher Quest channel that look at some of the boat components. I am also preparing for a two or three night trip very soon. I will get more detailed on the electric system. Thank you again!

Hey Chris - glad to see your new camping vid! I like your lithium thermos heater - pretty cool! I just got my new Garmin Striker 4 a few days ago - looks like you have the same. I don't have an emergency beacon but have a marine VHF radio. Your new 20 hp motor sounds really nice! And, everything else on your Bris was well thought out too! I guess if the sun was out more, you could do some island exploration and fishing too - next trip, for sure! Good job on the filming too!

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

@jimbania9826 2 года назад

Chris, great adventure! You prepared well for your excursion. I've done something similiar boating solo the Apostle islands on Lake Superior. Half the fun was preparing well w equipment and emergency plans like you did. There are 22 islands with beautiful sand stone rock formations and most are within 2-3 miles of each other. I did it with a Saturn inflatable 14 ft. kaboat w a 3.5 hp Merc outboard, and traveled about 42 mi. I didn't camp in the boat. The islands are a National Park, and had designated campgrounds. I tent camped on two islands, and visited 2 others over 3 days. The islands do have large black bear populations, but had no problem. The weather was fine. Coming home though, I had to go through a 1.5 mile strait w 4 - 5 ft. waves. Once passed there were calm waters to the dock. It toke some navigation savvy but I did ok. Solo marine trips are great, just that you have to be organized and cover all the bases when planning.

@ChristopherQuest 2 года назад

Hello Jim, sounds like a great trip. Great idea to find those places that allow for tent camping as well. See my beach camping videos if you get a chance. This should be a great summer for more adventure, hope you get out again soon, I am working on it now. Thanks for watching!

I have this tent. But it's not fully rain proof. Water soaks into the black porous fabric around the windows and drips through. Leaks at the seams. Leaks at opening where it connects to the bimini frame. Leaks through the zippers. Great for shade and wind though on a sunny day. Works ok for light rain perhaps. Very light rain only.

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

Hi Atreu, You are so right on this, if you see my video on storm camping on the beach I used a land based tent - had I been in the boat with this cover - I would have been in a precarious situation. Definitely the Aleko cover is not meant for heavy rainstorms. Agreed Thanks for watching!

Hello! The Bris is doing fine after three years - I have left it inflated with the floors in until jusrt recently. I see now that I had some wear from the floor in the transom that I added a layer of PVC (patch) to reinforce. Honestly, for the money I think they are a great value. It's not a stryker or a zodiac but it is also 1/3 the cost and I have certainly got my moneys worth!. Thanks for watching!

Hi Sharon, Cool you have a 12.5! I use a 15lb anchor - kind of a navy style. I needed a stern anchor during this trip - yes it would be a good idea.

@BeachDay1299 10 месяцев назад

Nice video. What pitch did you go with to maintain the max rpm of 5,400-6,100? I know that these boats are not intended for speed but with the correct pitch prop what top speeds are you seeing and is the Bris 14.1 stable?

@ChristopherQuest 10 месяцев назад

Hello Beach, On this video I have a Merc 9.9 which originally came with a 8.5 pitch - I got about ~5000 when the boat was loaded. I switched to a 7.0 and got ~6000 rpm and she would top out about 18mph and cruise around 15mph, not bad for this engine and boat. Love that engine. Thanks for watching!

No doubt you are very experienced and very organized - thanks for giving us novice a know how but I do have a question... I couldnt see your port and starboard light and your stern light which should have been above bimini level so that is seen 360 degree ( coast guard and international regulations) Please do comment on what is ur experience and view about this.

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

Hi Sammy, Thank you for the complement, but I am a real novice too. You are absolutely correct, the light needs to be visible 360 deg. and should be above the bimini. I will be sure to note that in my next video - hopefully not too long - an I will be raising the light as well. Thanks so much for the note. Thanks for watching!

@RedWolfy123 3 года назад

hey i am wondering what the demensions for the aleko cover you have, was going to buy a boat myself. i see they have a 13.8ft cover for aleko. is that what you are using? and does it fit well with the 3 inch difference

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

Hello Brimestone, Yes, I have the 13.8 cover on the 14.1. It fits surprisingly well, not perfect, but very good. I just drilled a hole through the thick pvc runner that holds the rope grommets. This works well for the Aluminum frame. Make sure you put those holes in the right place. Enjoy!

Hey Christopher, that’s a sweet setup ! I have a 10 foot inflatable and an Aleko weather cover like yours but nothing to attach the V supports to. What does your Vsupports attach to? Thank you

@ChristopherQuest Год назад

Hello Robert, I tried to attach a photo, no luck. The boat has a strip of double thick pvc material that runs around the top edge of the boat and hold the safety rope. I simply looked when I nneded the connection and drilled a hole in this flap of material, it has held up extremely well now for a couple years. Next video I have the 14.1, I'll show the hookup. Thanks for watching!

also, on my homepage you can kinda see it if you zoom in..

Could you list your equipment, or at least the brand of that nifty thermos heater device?

@ChristopherQuest 3 года назад

Hello, It's a Cauldryn Coffee Cup available on Amazon - maybe walmart, they are over $100 so you need to use it a lot! see the accessories too. I should create a list, I will work on that, good idea. Thanks for watching! - just looking for a link and i don't see it on amazon right now - i would check other options. Thanks

What size is the aleko canopy?

@ChristopherQuest Год назад

Hello, It is listed at 13.8'. I don't see them on amazon right now. You may be able to find at another on-line store. It fits pretty good. Aleko sells their own boats that they are actully made to fit. Thanks and Thanks for watching!
