Yes mare got you on Facebook book🤙, deffo be up for that at some point. Also the ally deck does it make tht much of a difference? I been toying with the idea but as I have to inflate my boat everytimr I don't no if its worth the extra hassle.

@jayfrs hello mate, sorry for not responding earlier!! Its a mixed bag i’d say if you’re packing it up every time. It would definitely add an extra 10 minutes of faffing around and swearing tbh! It definitely does increase the ride & comfort though for sure! Have you ever had a sort of ripple effect of waves going through the air deck? It completely stops that & is more stable in rougher conditions 😎

Hi there, how would you rate the long term build quality of the seams, drings, glue and pvc ? Thanks
@FishingwithMattUKАй бұрын
Hello mate, thanks for the comment! I can’t fault the boats construction to be honest. There were a few problems which needed ironing out but those have since been addressed in the newer updated models. I haven’t used the d-rings for anything but putting “too much” stress on them could cause problems. The main body is heat welded instead of glued which apparently makes it stronger & last longer. The pvc is also of good quality as well. All in all its definitely the best boat out there for fishermen!

13 years on SUZUMARE 390 AND SUZUKI 15 DF then bought 20 DF. The motor is good, but I decided to change the boat to an H370 SIB PRO. Aluminum flooring is good if you don’t always need to assemble and disassemble it. I need to carry it to the basement. That's why I decided to buy an air floor
@FishingwithMattUK4 ай бұрын
Nice mate 😎😎 I might have to upgrade my ecu as I said. Air floors are a really good innovation. I started off using the air deck but decided to try the ally deck. I haven’t looked back on the decision so far! It makes the ride quality so much better

How do you find moving the tohatsu around? Im not a big guy but i plan on sliding the engine in/out of my estate and lifting onto boat. With the handles and the very short distance i plan to move it i think itll be fine but people keep saying to me "Thats two bags of cement!" Appreciate the video :)
@FishingwithMattUK2 ай бұрын
Hello mate how you doing! I used to have an 8hp 2 stroke which weighed about 24kg. I this engine fit in my back seats & was manageable. However when I upgraded to a 9.8 tohatsu I had to start putting it in the boot & my boot has a substantial load lip so if was a massive pain to get the engine in and out. If your car doesn’t have a massive load lip then it will be easier for your but I have my engine permanently locked onto the transom of the boat which is trailered so I don’t have to faff around with it! They are heavy engines & it can be very difficult to manoeuvre after a long days fishing.

I see you have a trailer. Space is not something I have to be able to store this. Can it be deflated and packed up relatively small?so it can fit in a car etc. thanks
@FishingwithMattUK4 ай бұрын
Hello mate how you doing! This boat can indeed be deflated and packed down. My boat is a 3.7m so it will just about fit in a hatchback but it is a squeeze. I’d have to put the engine in the passenger seat if I wanted to transport it all in the car. There are smaller models available though
@Poonslaya4 ай бұрын
@@FishingwithMattUK good thanks. This is good news I was looking at a Jonny bass 100 and a 2.5hp outboard however I don’t particularly want to be sat out in the North Sea with one of those so this inflatable actually looks ideal. I see you were up to 10 miles out which is bloody far lol. The 15hp engine did you find it is not that suitable for the longer distance or is it purely for economy. I would also like the aluminium deck and I am curious on how to transport that. I take it would have to go on the roof? Or just bight the bullet and get a small van.
@FishingwithMattUK4 ай бұрын
@Poonslaya haha nice mate! Yeah the inflatable boats are very capable crafts & are pretty safe too. The 15hp is a perfect match for the boat but a 20hp is the exact same size just more expensive. The 4 stroke engines are way more fuel efficient compared to a 2 stroke, I wouldn't have made it back from my 10 mile trip with a 2 stroke & with the 4 stroke I still had another 10+ miles of fuel left! The aluminium deck packs down into a bag the same size as the boat but a thinner profile, probably about 20cm thick. If I was to pack it all down in the car i'd have my back seats down with the boat in there, fishing rods etc beside and on top. Id have the aluminium deck along the rear seat foot well area & the engine in the passenger seat!
@Poonslaya4 ай бұрын
@@FishingwithMattUK I thought the aluminium deck would have been one solid piece if it packs down as you say then I am sold 😂. I wouldn’t touch a 2 stroke engine for an outboard.one more question what sort of pump would be compatible with blowing up the boat.i would be looking to use the car to inflate it and would want something a bit better than a tyre inflated or I’d be there for days lol
@FishingwithMattUK4 ай бұрын
@Poonslaya hello mate, yeah it packs down haha! What brand are you looking into for an inflatable? I had a 2 stroke and I loved it & miss it to be fair 😅! For a pump you can’t really go wrong, the boat I have come with a hand pump but a recognised brand is the Bravo pumps. You can get away with an Itiwit brand one from decathlon though for example, it will just take a bit longer to inflate

I'm struggling with your fuel economy argument. If its the same engine then the only way to make it more powerful is to feed in more air/fuel. Those modern ECUs will just inject more fuel at higher rpms to get more hp there is no greater efficiency there. Saying that if the drag of the boat reduces with speed then that is another matter.
@FishingwithMattUK3 ай бұрын
Hello mate. I believe for the ECU upgrade you also have to take out something to do with air flow (letting more air in), so presumably it will increase fuel flow. Other people in the community have done the ecu upgrade and have noted that the engine has more torque (gets up to speed quicker) & gets to the top speed at only half throttle. To be honest, It probably could be a pointless upgrade thinking about it. I normally have the boat at half speed anyway!
