I have my eye on this boat. Ive been waiting for a moderate priced inflatable boat company to come out with a model with a 20 inch transom. Much easier to find a 30 or 40hp used motor in 20 inch. Very rare in short shaft to find one. Im gonna get this boat. Im gonna follow your build. Thanks for posting.
I will soon be starting the interior bench configuration, steering console, etc. I ordered the Suzuki 30HP 20” Shaft which will be showing up this week. I will post a quick video of it mounted. A 30HP motor is perfect for the raft. Cheers 🍻
Been looking at inflatables for a few months...might go for a 12.5ft Innovocean Metal Master...build quality similar to Stryker but more affordable. Also comes with Ladder, Bimini, and padded bench seat with under storage bags along with bow bag...and adjustable/removable mounted stainless steel wheels along with a reinforced aluminum transom
Looks like a good boat. I'm pretty happy with this Bris 450. Very much a Stryker knockoff, but has a good price point and pretty heavy duty at the end of the day. I like that this boat is 14.5 long, perfexct size for my set-up.
If you inflate high quality pvc to the correct pressure, it's so taught that hooks can't attach to them. You might catch it on a seam or the bumper, but even then, it's not going puncture it unless you start yanking aggressively. The materials used in Inflatables are light years past what it was 30 years ago. Mine has 3 separate chambers so even if one punctured, the boat would still get you back to the dock. Holes in Inflatables are very easy fixes. What aren't easy to fix are torn/separated seams so if you do buy an Inflatable, make sure the seams are welded or triple bonded.
There are no bimini top mounts. Im going to make one this winter though from scratch though. Scotty Fishing makes glue on universal bases… I’ll figure something out.
Amd bris has the same on Amazon’s for 2000 dollars woth 2100 dener amd double layer on the bottom aluminum floor amd all that I bleqve a little bit better then your check it out with all the d rings fact
The 15' 4" boat is about 2000 yes, but it is a completely different boat and does not have an aluminum transom, EVA foam floors, etc. This boat is new from the ground up for 2024.
@@RogueMTRafterwell i disagree my 16 ft saturn 2024 is new heat welded even the flooor amd i have the bigger tubes amd 3 amd a half feet inside wider and the aluminum floor amd i can put pads like those on my aluminum flooor to tho amd mine weight 230 to and 16 ft woth splash guards to amd i perfer the smaller transon amd mine is well made i have the thick layers on the bottom to beach mine all the time and for what you paid for your over 2800 plus tax i saved a lot your transom might be a little better but that’s it tho and mine can hold a 40 hp to no problem but yours looks cool to tho bris saturn and striker are all the same striker might be the best out there fact but the cost is a lot that you are right about i have took my saturn 16 ft to catilna no problem cuts chop like nothing but i do like your boat to tho can’t wait to see your build tho all infallible baots over 2000 are great kist depdend on your likes amd needs tho can’t wait to see it on the ocean that is a real test a lake is not much of a test tho but i will see how your build is i might change my mine could use 2 infallible boat s one for the ocean and one for the lakes
@@donaldmartin4620 We don't pay sales tax in Montana for starters. This boat is one of a kind, and is solid as a rock and well worth every penny. Saturn's don't have full aluminum transoms, that's the biggest turn-off for me. Saturn does make a nice boat but we are comparing apples to oranges. This boat has a perfect interior size as well, a little wider than most other inflatables in it's size group. For what I do this boat suits me perfectly.

It's gonna move real good with a 30. Looking forward to the video.

Is this a RIB?
No. Not a RIB.
Does this boat have a hull identification number? This is necessary for registration.
@@sosenhaikini8788 Yes, just like a regular boat. Registration was easy
I’ve always wondered about fishing hooks and inflatable boats
Hooks are fine. Fish spines, especially saltwater bass, will puncture them though

Is there a way to mount a bimini top?
