True Kit Discovery 330 Maiden Voyage w/ Suzuki DF6

True Kit Discovery 330 + Suzuki DF6AS3 + RAILBLAZA C-Tug Dinghy Wheels.
The engine was in its first hour so I got to only 1/3 throttle for about 7mph.

Was chosing between the 330 or the 4 but went with the 330 for the lighter weight. Hope I made the right decision ! Looks great

[@axscdvfb]

Welcome to the club! I think that's a wise choice. For me the 330 is heavy enough. Pulling the 330 with the tiny 6ph motor up the ramp was already a big workout for me. I don't think I can handle the 400 by myself.

[@andrewmichael219]

@@axscdvfb yes 80% of the time it will be just me and other days with my wife or a friend so 330 is plenty

Beautiful boat... Suzuki 6hp look and work very good with the boat for river..🌝🌝

[@drfiberglass]

Nice. I just ordered the 4.0 m. One thing I have learned there is never enough space in a small boat...

[@sailnekkid]

I think I'm going for the 330....It'll fit fully inflated inside my 7'X12" cargo trailer with ramp rear door...Am pretty sure I can pack all camping gear around it and soft bags inside boat when travelling.....My goal is to camp out on as many Florida beaches as I can, plus the keys.....Planning on hitting the road in 2 months or so....Will make some vids (haven't shot any vids for a couple years at least)....My camera equipment is gettin' dusty.... ;o)

[@fishandrib8672]

Have you ordered it yet? it might take a while to arrive in the US via DHL. Good luck!

[@hankgibson8848]

My Discovery 330 arrives this week in Florida, USA! Ordered with the wheels and going to put a Suzuki 15 on it. Any first impressions?

[@fishandrib8672]

The DF6 is good enough for me. My main problem is I should go out more often!

[@Gpic-2323]

We are truly enjoying our 330. I would suggest getting the front bow four point harness (I made mine). It makes all the difference pulling solo...

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I cant get a reliable indicator of duty fees on these...any ideas?

[@fishandrib8672]

I wasn't charged any duty fees by US customs.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

@@fishandrib8672 interesting...I may just take the chance. I cant get a definite.

[@zhenzhenyouyu2776]

I love boat

[@suganofamily]

The boat looks nice. Did you import it from New Zealand? Awesome!

[@fishandrib8672]

Yes I did

[@Gpic-2323]

Nice! We are enjoying our 330 as well...are your numbers painted on?

[@fishandrib8672]

Yes, I used sharpies and stencils.

[@andrewmichael219]

How is it holding up ?

[@jimquantic]

Thanks for posting--two questions if I may. What is the SLOWEST speed you can run? Second, did you compare this Suzuki with any other 6 before purchase--I mean on paper? The Tohatsu, the Yamaha, etc./all? thank you

[@fishandrib8672]

I didn't measure but it was pretty slow in idle. Maybe 2 miles per hour if I have to guess. I picked Suzuki because it is the lightest in weight in the 6hp class. Tohatsu (same as Mercury) is slightly heavier and Yamaha is quite a bit heavier and more expensive.

[@jimquantic]

@@fishandrib8672 Thanks for that--did the engine lock in place if you want it to not turn--and not have to stay back there with it while it is running? Thank you again, and thanks for posting

[@joseaznarjr.2717]

how much it costs only the boat.

[@fishandrib8672]

I bought it here and had it shipped to the USA truekit.net/products/true-kit-discovery?variant=32903035654

[@mettevilain6750]

Hey man my true kit 3.3 is on the way, and I am very curious. I dont want to much weight, but I am worried that 6 hp is not enough. What topspeed do you get once the motor was ready for full throttle ? Also I am very curious about the wheels since i saw another video where they did block the movement of the engine and that was also a 3,3 so I am quite puzzled that it worked for you :0). Hope you can give some feedback

[@fishandrib8672]

My motor can move without any problem and the wheels don't get into the way (see 1:05). I haven't used the boat for a while, but I think with a 6hp 4 stroke engine you will get 10~12mph max. If you want faster try to get a 2 stroke engine, which is ligter so you can get more hp for the same weight.

[@bionaut867]

Great, thx i will order the railblaza then
