You are very welcome!

Gracias por tu pregunta. Recomendamos un motor de 4hp -9.9hp según el modelo. Elegiríamos una de las siguientes marcas: Yamaha, Mercury, Honda o Tohatsu.

Awesome! We love hearing that these videos help improve a boater's experience on the water. Have fun on your 230!

That's true! Jet boats are ideal for shallower waters. Though the Bayrunner are also a classic and versatile boat.

A Boston Whaler Super Sport would be a good choice. They're nearly indestructible!

We agree! Next time we will make sure to get video that the viewer can follow along better. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your tips!

You can't go wrong with an Achilles! An LT2 or LEX77 would both be good options for you. www.boatspecialists.com/achilles-inflatable-boats/?_bc_fsnf=1&Type=Roll+Up

Erik definitely knows his way around a boat!

Glad you enjoyed it! We have more in the works.

@@BoatSpecialists Thank you, have a good day.

Ha ha, he did!

Thanks for the comment! Kyle has gotten to know these boats in and out and always does a great job keeping our customers as informed as possible. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your R-31 and we agree that working with the Ranger Tugs brand is awesome!

Thanks for the comment, Richard! It is true that outboard motors typically offer better fuel efficiency compared to jet propulsion systems, especially at cruising speeds. However, fuel consumption will vary depending on factors such as engine size, boat weight, propeller type, operating conditions, and intended use. Jet propulsion does offer many pros. For instance, a jet boat can be used in shallow waters, is safer to operate, provides excellent maneuverability, and has a smooth ride. It all depends on what is most important to the boat owner!

The air decks are hard as a board. I have heard it compared to standing on an inflatable stand-up paddleboard. Very sturdy!

Hi there! I reccommend calling our team at 805-644-6290 x1. They can look up anything you need and place special orders with Achilles or any of the other brands we carry. Thanks!

There are seven colors to choose from. If you don't like this one (Carribean Sand), get something else.

You can choose from a great variety of colors: dark grey, light grey, midnight blue, hunter green, hero red, and claret red!

@@BoatSpecialistsdo love the boat we could go bigger but I like the trailerability at this length

@@bfarm44 Being able to easily traller the boat is definitely going to enhance your experience. We find the R-27 to be the perfect size for most and feels nice and roomy for you and your guests!

@@BoatSpecialistsit wasn’t meant to come out rude I’m just tired of tan rvs everywhere and we are done with that experience I’m thinking mobile vacation home up and down the east coast I’ve got a lot of access

Thank you, John! We are glad you found the video helpful. Let us know if you have any questions or want further clarification on any of the tips in this video, and we will be happy to assist!

Thanks for the comment! The videos are often not scripted. Kyle was trying to say that the area is fully cushioned and can be used as a sleeping area for a small child or for storage. Let us know if we can help clarify anything else!

You knew what he meant.

Beat me to it.

And "attention and quality to detail." LOL!

Hi Joe! Thanks for asking. The bow bed dimensions are 6'x6' and the table bed is 6'3'. Let us know if you have more questions or give us a call at 805-644-6290. We have these boats in our Showroom and our team can get you the answer to any question on the spot. Have a great day!

Great to hear! We agree, Achilles make phenomenal boats that will last a lifetime if you treat them right!

Gracias por tu mensaje. Nos alegra que te gusten nuestro video.

Thanks for the comment! Aluminum is generally resistant to corrosion. However, it's important to match the right cleaning products to the material of your hull. If you plan to keep it sitting in salt water, you may want to consider powder-coating the hull to give additional protection. It bends but doesn't break easily, repairs to aluminum can also be done fairly quickly and easily. They're great, safe boats for rough conditions. Fiberglass is not affected by moisture or the elements and can be left in the water for extended periods without worry of damage. They're also easy to clean, and damages can be handled by a professional with a fiberglass patch.

Give us a call at 805-644-6290 if you'd like more details on this boat. Thank you!

Whatever it takes to get the job done! 😅

Bonjour, merci pour le message. Faites-nous savoir si nous pouvons vous aider avec quelque chose de spécifique.

Love to hear it! We are very excited to be working with them.

Oar lock, joystick same deference 🤷‍♂

Similar style boats, AB was founded in 1969 and Williams was 1996 but could be🤷

Great question! Sounds like a new video is in order. A quick way to look at it is the PRO is the most utility versatile setup. Most would use it for more sport like fishing and diving or commercial like purposes. The OPEN is a similar boat to the PRO but with a more family friendly setup with a side console. It comes with more seating and storage but the same great performance of the PRO. The Medline is the ultimate luxury RIB. The most seating and features like tables, fridges, shade options and most importantly a real potty! The Medline is a great day boat that is fast and smooth and will get you to Catalina in no time while very comfortable and looking like a million bucks;

@@BoatSpecialists Thank you very much! Subscribed and looking forward in case you decide to make the video.

We are always looking for new video ideas and this is a great suggestion!

We do have a video of the smaller version of the Cadet Alum Floor. Really its about the same amount of time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZOYnoZ3oaxlfKc

Thank you. Empty lake and fast boats why not!

@@BoatSpecialiststhese look like a great family boat , I’ve been on the hunt for a boat for a while now and leaning towards the jet over prop. Do the new diesel jets need def fluid like the newer trucks?

@@anthonykontos7931 Thanks, for the message and that is a great question! I am going to work on an answer to that for you. I can also reccommend giving our team a call at 805-644-6290 for detail specific questions.Our team knows the ins and outs of all these boats. Thank you and I'll respond again once I know more!

@@anthonykontos7931 Hi Anthony! I checked with our outfitting team and they pointed out one detail that I overlooked. None of the Jet Boats we currently sell are diesel. Please let us know if we can help answer any other questions!

@@BoatSpecialists ok thank you still doesn’t stop me, hopefully I can make up my mind on size and hp rating. Need something with power and people capacity and bay and open water capability. Can you please provide some guidance or other models? What size motor is the black one and can it come in center console? What’s the biggest they come ?

We hope the information stated can help with your choice of purchase. We are happy to answer any further questions or offer suggestions for you via phone or in person at our showroom!

Sorry to hear that, That is pretty uncommon for a Achilles. Did you contact them about this and warranty?

i've had mine for 13 years now without a problem at all. you should write to them, their customer service is apparently really good.

mine started delaminating at 8 years old, still good.

Well depending on what kind of use and load you are going to be having it will determine the performance of a 20HP on there. I think with a light load with proper weight distribution you should be able to get the boat to plane. Definitely enough power to move the boat efficiently but getting up and on plane is borderline!

Hi, thanks for replying. What outboard board hp would you recommend for the 390 aluminium Hull cadet. I was hoping my Tohatsu 20hp 4-stroke would be ideal 🤔

@@stevesdaysoff2759 If you wanted maximum hp and performance i would say the Tohatsu 30 would be ideal. Its lighter than the other brands at this size with a fairly large displacement still. Again though the 20 you have would be enough for most people with that boat.

This was a broad overview of the Achilles offering. We do have full specs on each individual listing at boatspecialists.com Look for some individual model breakdown videos in the future. Thanks for watching!
