Watching your I-cast video’s the tall full height seat, boat’s light weight, shallow draft & the price has got me ready to buy as a fresh water river & lake boat for my RV fishing as we travel. You didn’t get beat up in the chop and dragging it ashore thru brush was good to see and speed was good. This vid also showed me that at speed it can run fast enough & quick enough to handle fast water runs that are full of strainers in a river (lots of downed trees that you have to maneuver thru at almost full throttle) to be safe. If you watch guys like Jeff Little’s channel & the unbelievable punishment that he does to his inflatable rig, l’m not worried at all about an inflatable at 77 years old who spent 25 years in the bass boat business. Thanks Alex …. Let’s see some more!
yup they can take a beating for sure, they aren't unbreakable but they hold their own, always hace a tear A type B and a mini pump just in case, 5 air chambers always provide extra protection, more coming
Thanks for putting two videos together for the Fly Water. I was really considering getting this over the winter here in Florida. Based on your last two videos I am definitely going to get it.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Seems like it’s pretty fun I would still worry about that shark bite though I don’t know about anybody else, but when I go fishing, I like to go fishing to go fishing and not to worry about an inflatable boat underneath me popping
Great videos on the Fly Water. I am waiting for the Fly Water to come in stock. Have you ever try to flip this kayak? I am also curious as to how easy it is to do self rescue in deep water. Thanks
I'd like to hear your opinion on the FW v. Lite Skiff Air v. SE PaddleSki. I know you probably wouldn't recommend one over the other, but a pros/cons would be cool
I second this! Ive been getting into fishing the great lakes when the salmon and trout are in close. Kayak is working great for that, but I've been eyeing the paddleski and fishskiff from Sea Eagle as something I could potentially use to take my daughter out with me. You're recent videos of the inflatables really has my brain turning about options with better portability. I'd love to see some comparisons
@bequay113 the deck/floor is inflated to 15 psi so it feels plastic kayak like, probably more stiff than many kayaks, this one has that infinity fiber that makes it solid like. It handled me 200 pounds, Andresito (150ish) motor and battery (65 pounds ) better than many bigger tandem kayaks
What size battery did you have and what would you think the motor run time would be at full throttle? Also how easy is it to paddle? Would also like to know what you think about the stability in rough conditions, big swells and beach launches. Thanks for your videos, I really appreciate your reviews.
Group 27, 40# 36v 60ah battery that would be a 180ah 12v equivalent, paddles very well even with the weight on, I have a paddle demo video on the Playlist
John, this is a transom setup, the steering is on the motor, they have a torqeedo/bixpy/newport setup that can steer with a pool which is brilliant, storage accessories you make it happen, just add a blackpak to it , boom
Hello Aliex - this skiff is a more of an open water option able to get from point A - B not really designed for a bass angler trying to fish a bank - pedal drives are good out here in CA for local anglers fishing lakes - Great video as always 👍🎣👊.
Men that thing will fly with a 5hp outboard!. The motor mount design though Is not ideal for a gas engine. Looks like it's was designed mainly for electric motors. Alex you look kind of cramped in the video . Does the space feel tight compared to the other inflatables you have reviewed?
I rocked it agaisnt rocks, with the waves, I dragged it all over the place, I had 4 people on it, this thig is tough check out the first test video ua-cam.com/video/ddtuStrHaM0/v-deo.html
@@AliexFolgueira That's crazy. I'll have to check it out. I looked at so many because of the price but steered away because I assumed it just wouldn't survive. I'll check out that video, thanks! FYI, I just bought the EPDL. Haven't taken it out yet. Been in a $600 kayak for the last 4 years (no peddle at all LOL). Appreciate your videos. Watched several before making this last buy. Tight lines, God Bless
@@AliexFolgueira I followed below video link to install Motorguide Xi3 on the stern part of my Kudo 126 and install a fin under the bow, then I can use the trolling motor. ua-cam.com/video/bqQPm2aal9w/v-deo.htmlsi=GwG5yen2gp3RqNHb. Similar concept with Lite Skiff Air.

Glad it was helpful!
Very cool boat seriously considering buying one but not available at the moment 😕
should be available over the next few months, i wish it was lol, could have sold a few thru my affiliates haha
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Seems like it’s pretty fun
I would still worry about that shark bite though

Aliex: Thanks very much for making this video! Where did you get the metal plate that you fitted the motor mount to?
thank you :) the metal plates will be sold by isle as add on
Thank you for showing the fish fin puncture test. How does the floor feel when you stand up, and would you recommend it for 2 people?

That would be a fun boat for a young guy, what's the range with that motor?
At 40% power or so 3mph plus, over 40 miles, max throttle 2 hours 12 miles plus that's on that 36v 60ah battery
I think they need a better steering method and storage accessories to suit the boat.

psst Hey Ailex… open shallow water - no birds, no fish! 😎 Love me some bridges! Tight lines! {Tim ❤✝️
haha I have been thinking of taking it on a longer trip, cover some far islands

i should take it bass fishing :) you can fish any water with something like this, I'm sure
@@AliexFolgueira Yeah I want to see 👍

didnt feel tight, lots od deck space, gopros have weird angles, I would not use gas on this
They were legal but small snappers. should have kept 2. Make tacos.
at least 12 inchers
Looks nerve racking to fish this in saltwater environment... No way it holds up around oyster reefs and pressing up hard or constantly on barnacles..?

Tarpon have a hard mouth, not that easy to catch.
@@cerescop yeah no doubt
Naw...
@@johnbaker4847 under 60 pounds, solid as a plastic kayak, goes anywhere and can fit in your closet, why not? Not to mention it takes a 5hp motor
Please try to figure out how to install a trolling motor on this boat!
