Wish I had viewed this video for my first inflatable experience. Classic rookie mistakes made. Worn out after hand pumping to inflate. Nasty bystanders, watching my efforts and ridicule. Lugging heavy outboard, instability with no solid floor. Sorted it by going early to ramp no one there, made wood floor, bought an electric air pump. Easy peasy when you are prepared thanks for sharing.

lol I've made more mistakes than I care to admit, and I make sure to get out early to get setup as well. Once you get a routine down though, and the right accessories, it all goes together pretty quick. Thanks for watching, and if you enjoyed the content, you know what to do!

We had a Tohatsu 6hp on our Sea Eagle 12.6 It would plane with me at 14knts loved it.

[@inflatableboating745]

I can get this one to plane with just me, but I have to shift my weight forward.

I have a new kobirli 330 flat bottom she is a bet heavy for me and I was wondering about putting Dolly wheels on the transom,she has an air floor, just looking for the best way to carry the boat, I,m 69 years old thank you any information would be helpful.

[@JessicaRodriguez-kn5fs]

My inflatable boat does not have any seats, look for some type of bench to be a bit up out of the boat if that makes sense, any recommendations?

[@hansselg1]

Can you please make a list/links to some of these items thank you for the valuable info🙏🏽

[@inflatableboating745]

I must have spaced out when uploading this video. I have added a list of accessories that I have personally used and can recommend. Thanks for watching and bringing this to my attention!

I have a Bris 10.8, Dingy. Just got it. What do you suggest for PSI with an electric pump, also are there letters that will stick to the boat for the registration?

[@inflatableboating745]

Hello, assuming you have the same model as I do, the tubes get 3.5psi and the keel gets 5 psi per the owners manual. I have the Saturn electric pump and have been super happy with it. Here is a link to the Saturn electric pump I use: amzn.to/3evXvWi As far as the registration numbers, I ended up getting the boatnumberplate.com registration plates. There's not a whole lot that will stick to these boats especially if you inflate and deflate often. The boatnumberplate.com registration plate installs onto the boat like you're applying a patch. In fact, the plate is basically a large patch with your registration numbers permanently applied to it. I have a video showing the install of these plates and what the finished product looks like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6jPoGqYl7qKjNk Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already!

I went cheap on an automobile/bike 12V portable inflator around $10 (Wal Mart or Harbor Freight Tools) - just have to find the correct hose to connect to the intake valve. I use a hose that came with the inflatable.

Hey man if it works, go for it!

I'm on my thirds inflatable boat. 3.4 m Zodiac. An engine that is too heavy to carry or lift easily is a real burden. Given how little time is spent on the plane, I have downsized to a more portable engine. Transom wheels are a game changer. Choose good ones with pneumatic tyres, and with legs long enough to keep the skeg of the outboard off the ground. An anchor is essential if you are going to picnic, swim, or fish. Folding grapnels are easy to store, but not very effective. Although the anchor goes over the bow (front) in use, store it at the stern (back) when not in use, so it rattles about less when the boat is moving. I always use a foot pump. Just build the time required into your plan for the day. Advantage, you can add more air if the boat loses a little bit of pressure in cold water. If the boat is left in direct sun, the pressure will increase and you may need to let a bit of air out. Practise assembling your boat on the lawn or drive at home, where there is no pressure of spectators or other boat owners wanting to launch. If you have sectional floor, support the bow slightly (the petrol/gas tank is ideal) before inserting the final 2 floor panels.

I bought mine to go out diving. Anchored it jumped in all great until trying to get back in. Next thing I got was a folding ladder problem solved. Very difficult to haul yourself with gear back in without it.

[@username-mc7jw]

Great suggestions! I started with the 10' BRIS too. I wish I had known about motor sizing prior to buying my first motor. On mine, I had originally gone with a 4HP outboard. Sadly, it barely got me to 6MPH on the water, and certainly did not plane the boat. There's something about the amount of surface area and resistance in an inflatable, that makes getting the biggest motor the boat is rated for a must (if you want to have any fun in it, that is). I have since sold the 10' and gone to the BRIS 11' Catamaran, fitted with a 15HP Suzuki. With this setup, I am able to easily pull someone up behind the boat on a knee board, even with two adults and other equipment onboard. There's plenty of power to make catching air and flipping the boat a real possibility, especially when out solo. I don't think you can buy more fun anywhere for under $5k ($3k motor plus $1k boat).

I built my own transom wheels for around 50 bucks
