TrueKit Discovery 330 Unboxing 

yup.. totally right, I'll need to do an update video (coming soon) with some new things I've done this year on the TK. The marine ply has held up, and easier to drill into (maybe?) for transom wheels ;)

Thank you, you're going to love it!

Thank you. Insights collected from conversations with experts

Another reason I personally did not like the open transom design is that I store most of my loose equipment (anchor, shoes, food, cooler, towels, gear bag, etc.) between my back seat and the transom of my inflatable. Having an open transom just didn't make any sense to me whatsoever.

Thanks for the like! You may want to weigh pros and cons of having a slightly larger heavier boat that needs a larger outboard engine. I believe it will go up to 20hp. Then it depends on whether you're lugging around the boat and the larger engine. Ymmv

Dude thanks, it's the Pacific NorthWest and it rained a lot, early summer before grass dies it is very green :)

I’m also seeing 500+ shipping cost now. Also curious about custom import tax…

Check to be sure it is US dollars for shipping cost. I was seeing the same number and contacted True Kit. I was told the New Zealand currency amount popped up. Shipping to California would be $350. Still too steep for me.@@cchang326

A friend of mine ordered the 4 meter and twice the HP engine of my 9.8. We will od some racing in the summer :)

Do you find there's plenty of room in 330 ? Planning on going with another person ?

@@andrewmichael219 for 2 for sure.

@@andrewmichael219 There should be plenty of room for 2. The max I had was 4 people on my 330 (rowing, no motor) but I guess for fishing 2 is the max.

@@axscdvfb my friends had 5 (2 adults, 3 preteen kids) in my 330/Tohatsu 9.8, and it was chugging along. Definitely not sufficient room to comfortably fish, but it does perform well. Two adults can absolutely have fun fishing with plenty of room

Howdy. Thanks for the like. Congrats on the boat, you will love it! My focus was the lightest inflatable for my family of 4 and an outboard to match, both of which I can carry myself. This was ideal, paired with my Tohatsu 9.8. Unfortunately 2-stroke are not available in the US, so hence went with that. I also maximized Railblaza ports and didn't even think about the bimini top. Can you share more info on it? Re: tips, I'd say get a rope for the front (see Rod's or RokKit videos), pay a lot of attention to how the boat was packed, so you can repack, and play with weight distribution. It's very funny how the boat wiggles when it's just 2 ppl vs 4, and the dynamics change a lot. Finally, join the subreddit /r/Truekit and post some pics :)

@@daddyshark1174 thanks for the response. Joined the reddit group now need to learn how to use it:) The bimini top was from Leader but purchased from Amazon. Good quality and looks like it will fit fine. I needed 4 stroke for mountain lakes (eco) and went propane because I plan packing the motor and boat into the crew cab. Didn't want the gas smell while traveling. Hope the 5HP will be enough. We shall see... Leader Accessories 3 Bow Bimini Top Boat Cover (smallest width which was 54". Rod said it should work fine) Sku: 20105057 $189 2 weeks and counting...

@@Gpic-2323great insight. I'd love to see the photos with the Bimini, I haven't seen any in the wild and wonder how they would work with Railblaza ribports

@@daddyshark1174 check out Rod's video of his show room. He has one on the 330...

@@Gpic-2323 I have an 11' catamaran (different brand) with a 4hp (converted to 6 with 6hp carb) that simply will not plane at mountain elevations (minimum altitude I run at is 5000+ feet). Remember that 5hp is more like 3.5hp - 4hp at mountain altitudes. I'm waiting on a 15hp for it now... should be delivered in a couple days.

Lawnmower time ;)

Different models priced differently, truekit.nz/

Daddy Shark for this model in the video for,Europe?

@@apmikalogran they are all shipped from NZ direct. Same prices, convert from Nzd

@@daddyshark1174 Hi Did you have to pay duty or is the advertised price final ? Any taxes?

Erick, thanks for this and the comment! Appreciate it, especially coming from you. I learned a lot and some of the tricks with the dolly hand truck and loading everything in the back of the van :)

@@daddyshark1174 Very nice!! Makes me happy that my videos helped 8-)
