- Honwave T38-IE (2021) & Tohatsu MSF6 (2020). Launching the my Honwave SIB on holiday in Newton Ferrers, Devon, England.
There has been a lot of comments asking about the launch wheels on my SIB and I've learned quite a lot on my summer holiday so thought this might be of interest..
Can't tell you how valuable this is for new people thanks for sharing 👍
Glad it is helpful and thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the dose of reality. I was thinking the same thing; that I'd like 10hp, but at 66 years old, 100 lbs would be way too much. I was also wondering about how much effort it would take to bring the boat back up the ramp. I think I'll reduce the size of the boat that's in my head. Thanks again for the realistic video.
As an owner of an older Honwave 3.8 I am glad that Honda have removed those trim tabs which means the transom wheels are much easier to pick up and put down. That was really my only gripe, these are superb boats and great fun.
The new Honwave has a set of grab handles that get in the way of getting the paddles, its frustrating!😄 and there's no clip for them to keep them in place when not in use🙄 still love it though 👍
Not to mention with the tabs you can get to plane even with 6hp 2 adults dog chain anchor life jackets ropes canopy 25 lt fuel towels food etc etc. I do not think the new t38 is capable for this.
@@ALEXANjunior I own a ie2 last year and upgraded to T38ie3 this year. I dont´t feel a performance difference without the trimm tabs.
@@Wattwurm0815 engine hp?
Interesting to hear trim tabs been removed by honda, was there no benefits?
I have boatworld 3.3 air v deck with those tabs and yes wheels are more bother to fit and move them up or down 🤨
that little 6 is flying along 👍
How you solve your mistakes isa great learning point for me - thanks
My suggestion is set up all on land 👏👌 beautiful light set up
Keep the boat out of the sun when you don't use it. From an ex honwave owner who Will never buy own again! Seams came apart, tubes detiorated and went sticky. No amount of tube cleaner or uv seal would stop it.
Pretty good pierce for slipping, as soon as you turn the boat 180 degrees. No probs at all.
Nice. My T32 has the trim tabs which makes the wheels more fiddley. I wouldnt do the wheels with the engine running incase I knocked it into gear though
So long as the engine isn’t in shallow drive the prop can’t hit the wheels but could take my hands off! Good advice thanks 👍
Exactly what I thought! it was very close to your knee 😳
Totally worth it! Good job
Why didn’t you pull the boat in backwards trolley the engine down the slip way and lift it straight from the trolley to the boat ?
Très bonne vidéo et démonstration.
Bravo !
This was actually a useful video
The Launch wheels are provided for the proper RAMP area to drop your boat effortlessly!!! Not to perform such an experiment like in this place. The Launch Wheels are very much useful for 90% of proper usage people.
So many things to remember and all in the correct order too, thanks for sharing your video. Could I ask what you had on in Black to keep your legs and feet dry whilst setting up the launch etc?
If that's a ramp you have access to every time consider rigging up some tackle with purchase to a tree or something else sturdy (perhas even a small electrical winch) so you can keep the engine mounted and not ever have to carry it. I am fairly fit and strong but also have two bulging discs and carrying an OB is a shortcut to trouble.
Sorry, just saw it was on a holiday but will leave the comment standing.
The engine hood is like a mirror !
Thanks, it was pretty much brand new at the time of the video. It had only done about 8 hours.
Informative as always, sir! X
Thanks 🙂
I bet it won’t be long before you upgrade your engine, I’ve got the t32 and have a 5hp which is fine we me but will definitely upgrade to a 9.9hp ASAP.
I’d like a 9.9 but it’s too heavy to carry on my own. I’d have to go down the trailer route which sort of defeats the object. I used to have a T40 with 20hp a few years ago but sold it because I didn’t like all the hassle that comes with a trailer.
Useful information thanks, wondering wot speed u can get with the 6hp, I have 3.3m boatworld sib with air V floor and manage only 15mph with vintage 9.9hp.motor?
we reach 16mph with 6hp with one person.
if you reach 15mph with 2 adults, that's ok. if it's with 1 person only, you got a problem
Hello again , l would like to tell me about the thickness of wood floor how many mm is it ?
Is it some how water resistant ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the informative video and comments. I have just bought the same outfit from Bridger Marine in Exeter and looking forward to using it during the summer. Where are your favorite locations for launching and using your boat, I'm new to SIBs and always trailer launched larger boats before.
I bought my setup from Bridger Marine too! I've not used mine much since making this video which was in Newton Ferrers (not had much time since). I used it a bit more inland on the river Severn launching from Upton Marina. Hope to get some more time to use it soon. I had a river boat (Freeman 23) and a Caddy cruiser before but they cost a fortune to keep. My SIB has been in my garage pretty much since I videoed this and it's hardly cost me anything... lots of fun and low cost :D
@@siboffabeach3582 Thanks for the reply I'm off to Upton over Easter when I sort the problems starting my new Tohatsu 6hp outboard. It's a bit of a pig to start when you stop it by running it out of fuel prior to putting it in storage. Have a good summer.
I have the 380 with a 9.9 on the back. Find it's as much as I need. Also bought from Bridger Marine. Looking forward to launching it again soon.
Polly steps in Teignmouth is a very good place for you. Always parking other than bank holidays if you turn up late
In my opinion, all this trouble is worth it only if you plan to stay several days and have the boat moored meawhile. ( i.e. setup and pack up only once). For a single outing it is not worth the trouble. I owned a small sailboat and had the same issue. Now looking for a small inflatable like yours. And yes 10hp is 45 kg, while 6hp is 25 kg. The one is a highschool kid, the other is a 7 yo kid. Good for you that you did not buy the 10hp.
Hola. Como estas? Como se llama o donde puedo conseguir ese bolso para el asiento. Muchas gracias
I would lift up the wheel rowing to deeper water. Wheels up before starting the engine.😅
Hi I'm new to inflatable if I may ask where did you get your engine trolley, if possible to put a link. Thanks in anticipation. Keep well.
You should install the engine first and than move the complete Ship in the water by holding it on the front. It is easier and not so dangerous (slippery).
Muy bueno!
I'm considering a Honwave T27-IE3 with a Mercury 6HP as a tender for a yacht. I'd be hoping for it to plane with two people. Do you think that's realistic?
Second question... Do you find the V-Hull collects water at the bottom much at all? That's been proposed as an issue by a couple of vendors of air-deck models...
Very useful video all round as well - congrats.
Thanks. My T38 planes with two people so long as the weight isn’t all to far back so I can’t see why a T27 wouldn’t. It can collect a bit but more from rain than anything. Is easy enough to bail out though or there is a drain plug in the transom.
Mark Howells I have a T38 and I m happy but.. If you want a tender for a YACHT (probably you will have it inflated always either at the front or at the back) and that is not good for pvc material always unde the sun. Look for hypalon. Maybe something like a 3d tender.
@Urban Drones UK a friend of mine had tried hydrofoils and the only one that worked well was permatrim.I guess it will work also with ozhydrofoil since it's the same design. But I didn't want to drill so I moved on with f15 efi (Which I remove air restrictor plate) and I put 5113-093-08 since a friend weighs 120 kg and now with 4 persons it can pull a skier too.
But I still got bf6. I have only best memories from this machine. Easy to put on and the most important piece of cake to tilt.
Now f15 is always mounted and t38 is always inflated on a trailer. And since it is on a trailer I put an aluminium roll bar a bimini and a foldable bow canopy (to be able to drop anchor) and dual fender holders each side of roll bar and mounted on to them the ring buoys to make room inside. And then I realise it was time for a rib :D . Hopefully next year..
@ALEXANjunior I second this. My honwave seams fell apart and the tubes went sticky in no time. They aren't the best quality despite the price
Hi there, great video. You don’t remember where you got the wheels do you? Any link or info much appreciated.
Hi, they were from Bridger Marine in Exeter. I’m sure they will be able to help. They fitted mine too.
Really helpful vid as I’m about to order a T38 ie3 and a 20hp Tohatsu.
What brand of transom wheels have you got fitted? Do you think that they’ll be enough clearance when they’re raised for full pivot of a 20hp engine? Cheers.
They are unbranded but it’s the same as these www.force4.co.uk/item/Force-4/Transom-Wheels-200kg/2896 I don’t know it you’d get enough clearance on a 20hp. I bought and had mine fitted at Bridger Marine in Exeter. You could try buying from and asking them as they sell loads of SIBs. They’d definitely know.
A 20 hp 4 stroke is almost impossible to lift on your own. Even a 20 hp 2 stroke is a beast re weight
@@boatingsibbingandwandering3262 how about a 15? 4 stroke
@@largejoe2195 Most 15 hp 4 strokes are the same weight as a 20 hp they are generally the same engine de rated. See if you can get a second hand 15 hp 2 stroke . These are liftable
hello how many liters is the petrol tank? a thousand thanks
The external tank is 12 litres but one built into the engine is only 1 litre
I have the same wheels, I fined them great but in sand they get stuck. That boat launch is in need of repair. How do you find the wheels?
I’ve not had problems with the wheels in sand yet but not used it in deep dry sand. I do find the catch a bit fiddly sometimes though.
Invest in some tide tables and pick a better time for using that slip - make it a bit easier for yourself ;-)
Thanks for watching. I had a tide table but one of the reasons for buying a SIB instead of a hard boat is that it doesn't matter what the tide is doing. That is why it has wheels ;)
Nice informative video...... Although pull the wheels up with engine off! 👍🏻
engine 6hp ?
Is that bench pillow any effective for butt hurt after a day at sea?
HI .we learn from all this!thanks!Your tohatsu is long or short?
Thanks, it’s a short shaft.
Why do you insist to launch with engine down?
sorry can i ask you if the honwave t38 use lung or short foot ?
I was wondering does the inflatable floor move about much when travelling at speed and in rough ish water?
It does move but not all that much
@@siboffabeach3582 ok thanks!
Can I ask what exact transom wheels are they please ?
what diameter of wheels ? please let me know
That's not a slipway mate. That's a pile of broken rocks. Whoever is responsible for the upkeep need a talking to.
what the price this?
Where on map is exactly location of this slip way and is car park there aswell?thx
It is a private slipway attached to a holiday let in Devon. It's a fantastic location devonholidaycottages.com/cottage/galanda-treetops/
Max speed with this 6hp?
25 km with one person (90kg) , 10km with two people (180kg).
Great and useful video. Please pop over to our Facebook group. People are always asking for infomation on Honwaves, and engine weights. You would be a valued addition to our group.
Have you got a link to the facebook page you mention
Top speed at a 6hp?
16 - 17 MPH with just one person onboard, around 14 with two. More than two adults and it won’t plane so around 7 MPH.
@@siboffabeach3582 is the 14mph with 2 people at sea or inland lakes. How did you measure your speed? 👍
number trim please ?
I think it was in the second position
In a video it’s better if you talk and explain say something tho 😂😂 make it way better for people watching
What HP outboard is that?
Hi Andy, it is 6HP
3000 mal nein, alter was machst du!!!!!
🫡
Your Slip Area is a piece of shshhhhhhh
Complete amateur
That's kind of the point!
Why does this look difficult. Id have this thing in the water running in 2 minutes
What’s the t38i boat like
