Thank you for the no commentary and just straight up showing the product.

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

We intend to revisit this process and add a commentary in the future. however we felt it was more useful to upload this version. should you have any questions please feel free to ask.

[@yotubeyaroslavzamatin4.0]

I advise you to buy a high-pressure foot pump "Bravo 9" with which you can easily pump up your boat. No hassle with the hand pump. The only thing here is that you will also need a pressure gauge. But, these are small things. Thanks for the video. Oh yes, I also want to ask you: Is it possible to deliver and purchase these boats in Russia? Or is it just you?

[@maxwolfe7194]

Thanks for that. Now can you do one for packing it up again. Cause I just cant get it right. !!

[@bv3bv334]

LOL...just got mine today...unpacked, inflated fine. Deflated....now need a carry bag twice as big as the one supplied !

[@koalajs]

I would like to know what hand pump were you using ? Battery operated ?

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

Modified Parkside tyre inflator

[@darrenwootton2007]

I really like the look of this boat.is it still available?

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

Yes. would you like me to get you the web address?

[@thelr90guy71]

Hi , have you got an outboard for it ?

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

it will be used with a 5,10 or 20hp depending on circumstances.

[@oliverskinner8962]

This is longer than the Honwave t38 ie air v and has a wider beam it must flex a lot in the sea even more so than the Honwave. This excel is heavy for an air deck has very big tube diameter and lots of drag being such a wide beam why isn't it rated to 30hp ? Nobody ever shows the inflatable keel ! one would assume on a boat this size it would be nice and deep to handle some rough seas. Oh and if you could answer just this one, how long did it take to set up from start to finish ? Thanks.

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

I have myself owned the Honwave and now have the Excel. You are correct it is a more stable boat due to the extra width and tube diameter. As I used the same engine on both I can say I don't feel any extra drag. I think the rating of 20hp is right for the boat. A higher rating would mean a thicker transom and extra weight. Set up time is about 15 minutes a steady pace but very dependent on the pump used.

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

I plan to make another video from a different angle next month. Thank you for your comment.

[@oliverskinner8962]

@@theinflatableboatownersnet5684 that sounds great and stability is definitely something we want however the excel Volante 360 is also rated to 20hp do you know if the 360 would be more rigid and I know it will be less stable but does tube diameter make any difference apart from keeping you dry and carry more weight ? Do larger tubes create more or less drag ?

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

@@oliverskinner8962 both the Volante 360 and Volante 390 are rated to 20hp. They are air deck models so I would assume this is what is limiting the hp. Tube diameter does mean more water surface area at no-planing speed. But at planing speed this would be a very small water surface different. A more noticeable difference would be at rest (not under power) for sports like fishing this is when the extra width and tube diameter help the most with stability.

@@theinflatableboatownersnet5684 thanks for the really detailed answers most of the marine boat shops I've visited or spoken to on the phone have no idea or do but cannot be bothered to explain. 👍

[@mavicone5845]

Can you advise if a 4HP will be suitable for use at sea with this boat please ??

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

I use a 5hp and a 9.9hp outboard with this 4m boat. So a 4hp would work with a smaller boat.

[@grzegorzbiela5757]

4hp on sea will be so underpowered not woth to take, 3.9m boat on see needs minimum 9.9 hp

[@GunitCPT]

4hp will move the boat around at sea with zero problems at displacement speeds. Google “2hp Honda auxiliary sailing yacht” and watch a 2hp engine move a boat that weights 11 tonnes at displacement speeds in good conditions

[@starofdavid9919]

@@GunitCPT Lot of people underestimate the small motors.

[@TheAnglersTales]

Seems like the inflating part with that manual pump is the most brutal part of the exercise

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

Yes. We recommend an electric pump. Outdoor Master do a good pump call the Shark 2.

[@daricisz73]

Is it light or dark grey ? which engine are you using ? Please let me know

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

This is classed as dark grey. A 9.9hp 2 stroke Suzuki is the main engine.

It’s a nice boat but it seemed a lot of effort was put into blowing it up lol

[@theinflatableboatownersnet5684]

I made it looks harder than it is because it got distracted.
