Nice boat Yassin! I just found out about these. I'm looking for a small inflatable to use in cave and abandoned mine exploration. How durable do these boats seem to you? I am particularly interested in puncture resistance. Thanks.

[@YassinHM]

It’s a fairly durable material. I won’t say it’s puncture proof because I’m sure you can puncture it, but I’ll say this boat has held up impressively this far after all I’ve put it through. I’ve taken this boat out at least 100 times and she’s still kicking. If you’re scraping up against some rocks I don’t suspect it to be much of an issue, may need to reinforce it over time as the material is slowly scraped away, mine is starting to fade away but no major issues.

@@ziggyz2958 no worries. A like/sub would be much appreciated as well! Cheers friend!

Hello @ziggyz2958, Did you actually end up buying one of our boats for cave exploration? 😄

[@keralaborncanadiangoose513]

Which model of navigator is this brother?

[@YassinHM]

It’s the smallest one they have to offer, the 8.4 ft one I believe. Small but gets the job done.

[@YassinHM]

8.9ft

[@ΒΈΡΗΧΑΊΡΗ]

It looks very durable. How long, is the boat?

[@YassinHM]

The one I got is 8.9ft I believe, there’s other options at 10ft, 11ft, and so on that you can choose from.

Hey Yassin! Are you still using the boat? How’s it holding up a few years later?

[@YassinHM]

@@bennnnnnnnnn18 got one small pinhole that I’ve since patched up and hasn’t bothered me since, I just poured epoxy on it and that seemed to do the trick lol. Also one of the inflation/deflation valves no longer holds pressure on its own, so I have to overfill it a bit and quickly close the valve so air doesn’t leak. Other than that, the thing works beautifully and I’ll probably be using it for another 5 years or so without much hassle provided I continue to store and maintain it properly. Edit: and to be fair the valve thing was my fault so… other than that I’m probably going to get the same kind of boat if not a ft or two bigger when this one’s reached its limit, but that’s not for another few years.

@@YassinHM thanks brother! I’ll be contacting Navigator this week :) I want to get out on the water

[@pushinpgivindkeepitg3421]

what size engine?

[@YassinHM]

2.5hp mercury 4 stroke

[@ia6980]

I have saturn cb330, its way cheaper and does same thing as this boat, videos are available on KZbin.

[@YassinHM]

I’ll have to look at it, I just went with this because the seller was local and it wasn’t too bad of a deal.

[@ia6980]

those wheels attached way too close to motor? can't attach fish finder nor electric motor next to it....Should of installed it further.

[@YassinHM]

They are a tad bit too close but I don’t have any issues, I can still turn fine and so on. And I can still attach a fish finder, not sure what you mean?
