- If you’ve been pulling your hair out trying to pack your OSG Stealth Pro or Fish Cat Scout into the OSG Frameless Boat Bag this is the video for you. Not only will Phil Rowley / flycraftangling show you how to get your boat into the bag, but your fins, accessories, pump and oars as well!
P.S.
Have you heard about OSG’s sister companies, AIRE Whitewater and AIRE Environmental? AIRE Whitewater produces whitewater boats and equipment, while AIRE Environmental products protect our rivers from pollution.

I don't use a motor just the oars, but I have owned the stealth pro for a few years now and it is outstanding.
Great video thanks! Hope Outcast can get some inventory this year. I’ve been waiting for a motor mount for a year, and the hybrid frameless float tube with oars also. That tube has been unavailable so long I have forgotten the name of it.
Thanks for doing the review. I was going to buy that bag for my SeaEagle 285fp boat.
No way it would fit. Saved me some coin. :)
Hi The ForgottenMan,
Not sure how big your boat is, but maybe try this bag instead.

So you roll it up with the seat still attached? That doesn't harm the seat?
Is the crossbar designed to be a foot rest while you are rowing? In my situation I would not use find. Thanks.
It can be, yes.
Oh, and how long does it take to blow up? Was that a hand pump that comes with it? Can you use an electric pump hooked to a car for power?
I have an electric pump that connects to a car battery, a 20V lithium battery powered inflator, and a twin action hand pump. Using the electric or battery powered pump takes maybe two or three minutes to fill the pontoons, and maybe one minute or less to fill the seat valve. One caveat though-my electric and battery powered pumps are not high enough pressure to depress the fill valves, so I have to lock them open like the demo showed when deflating the boat. This results in a little loss of air when removing the pump-I have to quickly shut the valve. I always top up the boat and seat anyway with the hand pump, so this is not a big issue. So I definitely recommend both an electric and hand pump. I attached a piece of tubing to the fill nozzle so it fits all the pumps. Hope this helps!
@@jimkingsland1645 thank you
What's the total weight with all the stuff stowed in the bag? Does it come with the fins? I guess you have to let it air dry before stowing in the bag to avoid getting moldy?
I believe the boat itself is listed at 35 pounds. As you could see in the video, it is not too easy to portage when inflated. There are two handles on the inside that can be used to lift the boat. Note you have to step over the metal crossbar, grab the handles, and lift the boat up to carry it. I have never tried lifting it over my head to carry it, as I rig it up before portaging. Depending on the rigging (I add the side bags, fishing gear, and small cooler generally), it is not too well balanced for carrying, and standing inside between the crossbar and seat is unwieldy. I don’t have a bag- but yes I expect you would want to clean it and dry it before bagging it for any length of time.
@@jimkingsland1645 I sold my boat and also moved to a small apartment. So getting something that could pack up small is appealing. I need a way to get back out on the water. I'm also close to fresh water now, so I don't need to worry about sharks or alligators.
@@stephenrothman6058 It sounds like this boat is a good solution for you!
