Haha!! Cool man those wheels are sweet. Super easy to get in the water and out of the water. I usually park the boat right next to my tent when I go island camping.
@@ErickMartinSucre i live at the Nortsea. The area who you can drive safety is often forbidden at the coastline and further out is to dangerous So i use our channels.
Another useful video thanks. Do you ever use an anchor if so would you consider making a video of how to set and retrieve an anchor. I have purchased a grapling style anchor and would really appreciate any advice on how to use it correctly. Many thanks .
The transom wheels are the way to go. On a busy day at the ramp you will not be able to take up space while you inflate the boat. Have you tried using a kayak cart on the Kaboat before?
Great vids Erick. Question: tricky figuring how to transport and launch a 15 foot with 100 lb outboard using the wheels. Seems impossible without just using a boat trailer and forgetting about the wheels. A flat bed trailer may work but then the trailer would be way too long and probably not good to have boat spend too much time on the wheels (better to rest transom on ground for long drive). You seem to have good ideas and so thought to ask.
Hmm, well, I transport my in my car. Once I arrive at the boat ramp, I inflatable the boat, put on the wheels, place the outboard and roll it to the boat ramp. Once in the boat ramp,ni begin to pack the boat with my things. What kind of car do you use?
@@ErickMartinSucre thanks for the response ! I use a truck and have no problem getting it to the ramp and inflating it there. But then there’s the heavy outboard which is the problem. To push a family of 4 or 5 I suspect a 9.9 HP or above may be ideal. So we’re looking at 100 lb or greater weight so loading and unloading becomes a challenge. I can go with a 6 HP which would be lighter for transport but I had a bad experience before with laying motors down sideways and though they say it’s doable with some, I’m a bit anxious about that. That’s my thoughts while I figure out a good combo to take out to the lake !
In this video, I am using my 6hp Tohatsu with a downgraded prop. Original prop 7.8x8, and the one I am using is a 7.8x7. I recently prurchase a Hangkai 12hp 2 stroke and been using that mostly.
Which transom wheels did you order that have the spring pop in clips like that? I have seen the ones where you need to remove the pin completely to adjust them, and I'm not all about that.
Hello Erick. I am going to sell my Saturn TR385. I live in Manatee County FL; where is the best place besides marketplace to list it? I didn’t know if there is a FB group for posting inflatable items for sale. Keith
If the boat ramp you are on is not slippery, super easy. If it is filled with moss and algae, take you time pulling it up, because slipping can be painful.
@@ErickMartinSucre I have only launch my sib once and left the wheels down because I didn't realise they were supposed to fold up after the boat is in the water. A video on how to do it would be a great help to me personally. Thanks for making these informative videos.👍
Hey Erick! Great video! Is this the same as a beach launch. Im new to this, the last time i went out backwards the current kept taking the boat into the shallows and couldnt put my outboard down in time. It was on a lake beach. So no waves. Just wind and current. Any tips. Thanks!
Hmm, if your boat doesn't have oars then bring a long kayak paddle that way you can maneuver better until you get into deeper water. That would be my take but let me know what you think
The boat ramps in the area I live usually is quite busy, so the first option is out-nobody has the patience to wait an inflatable gets ready. I’m thinking to get a dolly instead. Any suggestions?
A dolly would be a cost effective way of doing it but eventually you'll want to get some transom wheels on the boat. It's juts so much easier with the wheels. Something like this amzn.to/30VGL0T
@@ErickMartinSucre yes Erick I watched your videos about your new boat. I almost bought the Sk385xl but my grandkids wanted a little more space. I’m looking forward to your next videos!
Nah. Holding a heavy motor and stepping into the ramp's green slime is a sure future trip to an emergency room. People slip on the slime by themselves daily at the ramps, now imagine them holding a motor. A major life changing event.
@@davehill4295 For me at the beginning it was fine but the consecutive puttin on and off the motor got really annoying for me so I sold it. If you go once a month it won't bother you much but every weekend it can get to you.
@@ErickMartinSucre in the summer will probably go 4 times a month, I'm getting a trolley and will probably leave the sib at a yacht club so shouldn't have to man handle it too much, if I struggle I have a 26 year old son I'll have to borrow, great vids by the way.
Эрик, привет.Такая погода хорошая,а ты меньше минуты снял видео на воде.Вот как так? Вообще полный штиль,вот бы дрон поднять в воздух,как раз закат солнца.Что-то я расстроился.Эрик,я там про ружьё видео снял,заменил приклад и цевьё,зайди,нужна твоя поддержка.
Я сделал это видео утром. Это поучительное видео, показывающее людям, как спустить на воду надувную лодку без колес. Проснулась рано и вышла к воде в 7 утра.
Great clip and great attitude towards boating
Thank you 😊
I am new to the world of inflatable boats. Thank you for these videos! 👍 djw
😊😊
Funny I just installed wheels on my boat 20 mins ago and your video popped up!
Haha!! Cool man those wheels are sweet. Super easy to get in the water and out of the water. I usually park the boat right next to my tent when I go island camping.
Erik going in the water ramp with sandals while holding the motor,, i guess you live ya life to the Xtreme m8, nice video
Lol
Another good video. The transom wheels are the way to go. Thanks for the instruction.
My pleasure and thanks for wacthing!
Great video as always Eric keep on smiling 👍
You got it and thank you 8-)
Great video - Thanks
Glad I can help
Great content as always, Eric
I appreciate you coming by friend 8-)
Lucky man, who find in his Cruising area a sliping System. In my there is no one. Nice color from the inflatable. Looks very nice
Yes I am fortunate to live in Florida. There is lots of boat ramps, lakes, ocean and rivers. Gets really hot in summer though.
@@ErickMartinSucre i live at the Nortsea. The area who you can drive safety is often forbidden at the coastline and further out is to dangerous
So i use our channels.
@@carsten6823 Sounds like an awesome adventure to me
Hi Eric. Nice Video in very good quality. I love it.
Hello Pascal and thank you for the compliment 8-)
Great vid my friend! If I ever get another inflatable boat I'll make sure to get some transom wheels for it.
The wheels make a huge difference
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching! Always a pleasure
Love the vids I'm am a new boter with a brand new Honda 5hr and 11ft but boat and you tech alot wich helps
Thank you kindly glad I can help. That's a nice set up you got with the Honda outboard and boat.

Thank you 😊
Thank you for the video ... very helpful
My pleasure and thank you for watching!
Great video thank you, have you done a video like that on the beach?
Not with the intent of launching and stuff. I get to islands all the time using the transom wheels.
this was a great video thank you!
Thank you kindly! Glad you liked it 👍
I was thinking this would be good for a condo but I wasent sure how powerful a 6HP engine until I saw the video, thanks.
Yes the little motor is very capable and very reliable
Shows that you made it into the water..but would like to see how you actually get into the boat and move away from the shore
Hmm, yeah, I should record that. I'll probably make a UA-cam short.

Thank you. I have a 5 pounder but have yet to use it. I tend to bring the boat with me when I go camping using the transom wheels.
Can you review one of the Saturn budget boats? preferably the 9.6
I'll ask them and see if they agree to send me one
@@ErickMartinSucre I hope they do get to send you one!
I asked them but it is a no for now. It may happen in the future
Hey Erik. Love your videos. Am curious as to which inflator you are using? Thanks for all that you do!
Hello Kris and thank you for watching! Yes let me get it
This is the one I use amzn.to/2Z0SiLn
That one I connect to a small 12v battery o power it but they sell one that has it all built in.
This one has it all in one amzn.to/2F2y9NG
Hi, do you have a video showing showing the process how you would get the boat, the motor out of the water?
Yeah kinds, it's the whole process ua-cam.com/video/Vs6uk0sP_YM/v-deo.html

Great man!
Thank you kindly!! Enjoy the rest of your dat 8-)
You always sound like you’re having so much fun. Looks like a riot. What do you do with the two transom wheels once you’re under way?
Hehe thanks!! Yes I unclip one end and lift them. Depending on the model you have or get they can unclip or use a clamp so you can lift the wheels up.
Thanks for watching! 8-)
@@ErickMartinSucre Ok so how do I connect the wheels on the back of Excursion 4? Nothing to attach to just bracket for trolling motor
@@juliegreene7518 the wheels I have came with 2 brackets that needed ri be installed on the transom
@@ErickMartinSucre But I don’t have a transom. Just a bracket that holds trolling motor
Amazing video just what I needed for my Newport Vessel. Just wondering, what kind of outboard motor are you using? HP?
Glad I was able to help. In this video, I am using my Tohatsu 6hp 4 stroke outboard with a 7.8x7 propeller.
The transom wheels are the way to go. On a busy day at the ramp you will not be able to take up space while you inflate the boat. Have you tried using a kayak cart on the Kaboat before?
Yes I have. I had to use some straps to keep the wheels steady on the cart

15-20hp would be ideal. I know that Tohatsus can be laid down on the tiller side. Add me on FB, I'll send you a pick. Same name as my channel.
I got a better idea. I'll make a quick video on how to lay the outboard
ua-cam.com/video/dg79NI15Py4/v-deo.html
What motor did you use that made your inflatable go fast? Thanks

How can I keep the pins from falling out ?? They slip so easy
Mine don't have the pins. They are push pins. If the pins are stainless steel maybe a magnet will keep it in place.
Which transom wheels did you order that have the spring pop in clips like that? I have seen the ones where you need to remove the pin completely to adjust them, and I'm not all about that.
The are the ones I use. amzn.to/3bgrEms Thank for watching!
Where did you get the wheels? What is the type or model number?
The ones in this video are Brocraft. amzn.to/4ewLf2d
what king of launching wheels are you using ? what brand?
They are called Bro Craft
PLEASE invest in transom wheels! DONT BE THAT GUY blocking the boat ramp while your boat is inflating!! Lol
^^^^^What he said

Can u make a video on how to take boat out of water after
With or without transom wheels?
Came here to ask the same. With wheels for me, but without may be helpful, too
Wheel trollies help. I used to use them before but then got the transom wheels. I'll be going to Fort de Soto soon so I may make the video then
Great video. How easy is it to pull the boat (13’ Saturn FB) out of water with the wheels and up the ramp ?
If the boat ramp you are on is not slippery, super easy. If it is filled with moss and algae, take you time pulling it up, because slipping can be painful.
С меня седьмой палец 👍 вверх
Большое спасибо!!
Я видел ваше видео о огнестрельном оружии. Очень хорошо!
Do the transom wheels not lift up once underway
The ones I have clip on and off.
They do manually
@@ErickMartinSucre ok thanks, mine fold up but not used yet as only just bought the sib.
@@davehill4295 Nice! With time you build a routine with it and it geat easier.
Do the wheels remain down after the launch ?
No, you lift the off the water.
I should probably make a video on how they work.
@@ErickMartinSucre I have only launch my sib once and left the wheels down because I didn't realise they were supposed to fold up after the boat is in the water.

This is a pretty random question but what is the length of the boat used in this video?
Thank you for dropping a question. That's a Saturn BB 290 and it's 9.6 feet long.

You bet
