RED TAGS are on the lines of the Inflation caps. You should Have the caps on the valves to keep sand and water from damage. In this vid you can see he has the red tag on the cap lines and cap is hanging. Second. I used the Floor as a template and made my own hard floor insert to go on top and used Outdoor Carpet. Mounted some tie down points to help gear not bounce around the boat. Also its much easier on you feet standing on a solid platform. I take my wife and 2 kids out on mine all the time and fish the marsh and the gulf. Safe boating.

Sweet !

Hi great video! I imagine the kaboat is quite narrow- much like my Grand Argus. I am new to all of this and would appreciate if you can tell me what transome wheels you use? I can’t make it out from the video. I am told it is better for me to use C Tug trolley wheels which go under the boat and are strapped on. Thats because the narrow transome means you can’t have both an outboard and wheels. If that’s the case what do you do when you want to get the boat out of the water. Do you have to jump into the water and strap the wheels in place? Must be another way Thanks in advance

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

Hey, sorry I'm not much help there, I never put transom wheels on mine

[@ajmal4149]

Hi Sapp -great video. I wonder if you have done any kyack style paddling with this? I am looking to buy this instead of a traditional kyack because it has more space. Does it work as a kyack with paddles do you think?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

It does work to paddle but it is bulky and doesn't paddle as smoothly as a real Kayak. You would not be able to paddle very fast at all

This is awesome! I have the same boat and just got an older 6hp Tohatsu/Nissan - looking forward to taking it out with the family. Seems like it handles well and the boat is pretty stable? BTW: have you looked into transom wheels or similar for moving the boat around?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

Yes very stable, I have taken it on the bay, the ocean and plan on taking it on the river soon. I've done a couple mods since this video and have considered transom wheels but haven't done it yet.

[@jplee3]

@@sappfamilyoutdoors9676 very nice! I'm hoping to do a maiden voyage/trial run soon... Maybe this wknd. I just ordered a kayak cart that can be used as a seat. Trying to avoid drilling holes in the transom if I don't need to.

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

@jplee3 that was my thinking as well. Hope it goes well for you!

[@jplee3]

@@sappfamilyoutdoors9676 btw what are the mods you mentioned that you did?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

@jplee3 I just added fishing rod holders to the seats and cut some puzzle piece foam mats to shape for the floor of the boat. I built a small crate that holds extra fishing poles, net, and other boat and fishing supplies that I always keep in there also.

What’s the transom height?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

I believe 15 inches if I remember right

Where did you get this boat?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

Amazon

[@Camane53]

So what do you think of the Kaboat??? Got to be a bit more creative on these videos!

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

This was first time on it, might make an updated video in the future.

[@BillyTech]

@@sappfamilyoutdoors9676I am interested in buying this boat too. Could you do the setup by yourself early? Looking forward to seeing your next video.

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

@BillyTech yeah I set it up by myself. Takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to inflate and another 10 to set everything up to launch

[@scottwiater2699]

How many mph?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

With 1 adult, 1 teenager, we maxed out at 13 mph

[@Bing724]

@@sappfamilyoutdoors9676 So, with 13' inflatable and 4-5 people will 15 HP be enough to hit close to 20 mph ?

[@sappfamilyoutdoors9676]

@Bing724 I don't have experience with 15hp but if the 4 or 5 people aren't overweight I imagine you could go pretty fast

[@chapiit08]

@@Bing724 I believe these are not rated for 15hp and capacity is 3 adults max.

[@Vromo.]

@@chapiit08yep it’s rated for 8hp
