Recommendation for the future - do a vid just only on the setting up of the new equipment and share the pros and cons. this will also allow you to get the attention of the manufacturer and they ...well perhaps will approach you. 2nd segment would be putting the new equipment to the test and how you feel about it. You have a lot of fantastic sharing opportunity on your experience. Looking forward to it.
WOW !!! I actually thought it was a "Thunder Cat" !! More room, more fuel ...... Bigger Fishing Adventures !!!! Can't wait to see you get some scales in the New Boat !!!!
I found this video looking for a boat like yours and found one of your old videos lol. Could you do a full review of the new one including the motor you upgraded to? I would appreciate it.
I think these boats are awesome. It will take me some time, but this is what I will buy for a dingy when I get the money. I have a 32' Freedom sailboat and this is the perfect dinghy for an older person like me. That scoop in the back makes it much easier to get in and out of the dinghy from the water. That was what clinched it for me.
Nice little boat Rod. These inflatables are deceptively stable and durable. Will be much better than kayak and skiff for trips away. Could even tow the yak with you. Looking forward to see how you set it up. 👍👍
I love watching your videos. So relaxing. Although I'm here at the Arctic Circle, I've tried fishing up here but only in the Summer months. I tried seal hunting in the Spring with some Inuit friends. Still -50 degrees celsius up here.
LOVE IT how u Aussies just use an obvious box cutter to open the package . An American doing this will be whipping out his hand crafted EDC survival or tactical knife. Looks amazing... the boat and the video editing !
I love the powerfisha 14 and use mine almost every weekend but uou're right about the issues the challanges it poses. It can be a bit hard placing it back on top of the car after a long trip or pulling it further from the water when camping so the tide doesnt reach it. I can't wait to see how your new boat performs on a fishing trip. Keep us posted.
@@prescottmajette5290 since you're a recent subscriber I must warn you - watching his videos made me buy a fishing kayak. But that's not really a bad thing
@@professorvannostrand2194 haha yeah you're not wrong. I've been here since the early days too, and was always a boat/landbased guy. Have now sold the boat and own 2 kayaks, best thing I ever did
@@professorvannostrand2194 I hear you, but luckily I am all good in the boat department, no place to keep one and my brothers got a tinny I can use whenever
Hey Rod. I been following you for a couple of years now. Seen you evolve from kayak to skif to small boat. Always exited to see the next adventure. Hope you will still do kayak days. That said I can't wait to see you rock this baby. Tight lines mate.
Awesome new piece of kit Rod. Looks like it can really get up and go and handle well. Enjoy. Looking forward to an adventure on the new craft. Congratulations. Regards fro Melbourne. Cheers. Jeff 👍😀🐠🐟🛥

Awesome video RodKITKIT !! I love the New Boat RodKITKIT !! Thanks for the videos RodKITKIT !! Keep up the amazing work RodKITKIT !! And Thanks for putting you hard work into these videos for us RodKITKIT !! Cheers William !!
Hi Mate, great boat, I've gone from wanting to buy a Stealth kayak, to the Microsoft, but then I've got two young kids and no place to stow a boat, so decided looking at inflatables including this one and just ended up buying a Kaboat 470XL which should be delivered any day now. In process of buying a outboard -9.9hp4stroke. Maybe I will see you out there once I'm setup as I'm also on the GC. Enjoy
Can you mount a bimini top on the Aircat? In principle yes, but how is the stability? There is a risk of the boat capsizing when the wind is strong. However, the bimini top should only be set up when anchoring (shading). What is your opinion?
I just received my True Kit Discovery from Rod and I LOVE the quality. I've paired it with a brand new Mercury 9.9 four stroke 15" short shaft. The stock prop that came with the motor makes it hard for the boat to get on the plane. If and when it does get on the plane the prop spins in the water and revs high before it catches again making the boat slow down then surge forward again, over and over. Has anyone had experience with this motor / boat combo. This all occurs with me 185 pounds, my wife 105 pounds, gas tank, bench seats and a small bucket with a few supplies.
I’m having the same revving problem with my set up. I have a short shaft 15hp Yamaha 2 stroke which planes very quickly when 2 up. But the revving is confusing me. I don’t have a hydrofoil, which promotes earlier planing. But I’m thinking I might have to get one to fix this issue. Or a cupped prop which seams to be common advise. I’m curious if you’ve had any luck though? Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem with mine. Added an hydrofoil, the nose comes down quicker, but not a fix. Think I may have to lower the engine on the transom by an inch or two to give the prop more bite. Which means cutting the transom down. Anyone else have a better fix for this?
Wicked setup Rod! Love the idea of being able to deflate it and pack it away in the car and at 35kg it would be easy to manage. Can't wait for the camping adventure vid!
It’s a cool looking boat but I would be worried about fishing in it not so much about getting a hook in the side but pulling a fish onto it might spike it have a look at the porta boat range they are fold up tinys and are awesome.
Remarkable how much filmography without a mention of models, boat and motor. Devoid of specifications, addons, setup, inflation and unpacking ! A veritable desert of usable information. !
love your content...... My dad owned a 8 passenger zodiac with a mercury engine for about 6 months, and got rid of it for a baby grand piano!!!!! I wish at that time i knew better i would've bought if from him.... most people think i'm a guy..... nope I'm a girl that love fishing.....
Mini thunder cat is a nice boat Watch a few thunder cat racing videos u will notice the sit at the back when it’s calm and the wind tunnels under the wing deck and creates less drag
RoKKiT KiT looks cool, would just be a little worried about a stray speargun tip or a big gang hook. Nice kayaks to by the way, I have often thought about one, but the ocean where I am is deadly. We’re based in Warrnambool right next to Logan’s Beach. Big, powerful ocean here...
this looks like the perfect rig to drop crab pots up here in norcal. small enough to throw on my truck bed too! i spend too much money after watching this channel lol. all the best rod! have fun👍🏼
What is fishing from an inflatable like? been tossing up inflatable or kayak to get into fishing but storage and transport are my biggest restrictions. Always been weary about handling hooks around an inflatable vessel but the portability you mentioned (35kg, boot of the car etc) would be amazing.
I’ve only fished from one a few times in New Zealand but it was a pretty good experience, super stable and comfortable being able to sit on the sides. Just need to take care of spines and teeth of the fish but it’s all doable. I love my kayak too and would never give that up for a boat but having both is perfect. Each craft has it pros and cons👍
have you done any beach launches ( surf ) the same as you launch your kayak , also interested if you have done any bar crossings in it ? any idea of the top speed with the 9.8hp with prop change ?
Hi rod your were saying in the video that the grey fuel line is allot better than the black stuff. Please keep an eye on this fuel Line as it will start to harden and crack on you very quickly compared to the black rubberised fuel line. Only an observation from owning fishing boats and race boats. Cheers from Darwin NT.
RoKKiT KiT ah good stuff I was hoping you hadn’t fallen for the cheap stuff. Great to See a new small craft unveil from you can’t wait to see the first fishing adventure.
Wait! What! Where is the previous video of testing? Looks the part for what you do and could easily fit your family for a cruise in sheltered waters 👍 also some good camping and offshore work, i hope you are packing lots of memory for the videos of your trip😉 and can't wait for the specs on it's setup. Tyvm for another great video.
yea the first test trip was not very exciting stuff just me adjusting things. Was fun to get the family out on it though... yep lots more vids to come👍
I love your new toy Rod. Fantastic piece of gear. Makes for more great videos mate. I was impressed with the stability in the tight circle shots from the drone. Impressive stuff. I can see many more videos coming up soon.

100% selling my 3.6m tinny for one of these! Such an great design, I love it!!
WOW !!!
I actually thought it was a "Thunder Cat" !!
More room, more fuel ...... Bigger Fishing Adventures !!!!
Can't wait to see you get some scales in the New Boat !!!!
Just strap a 50 hp motor to it lol
Sceptical when I first saw it. I get it, now. I’m enjoying watching your evolution.
NOICE!! BOAT, i have the same esky and it is great, haven't tried it in summer yet, but solo camping trip i got 9 days out of block ice, not party ice
Mine arrives in. a week or so. Can't wait! Thanks for posting.
What boat does he have and how long
Great Boat! Looking forward to see adventures, while I‘m in the hospital for the next weeks. Greetings from Switzerland

Holy holy moly!!! I love that thing. Looks insane. Gotta see more of that beast!!
Nice little boat Rod. These inflatables are deceptively stable and durable. Will be much better than kayak and skiff for trips away. Could even tow the yak with you. Looking forward to see how you set it up. 👍👍
Yea I’m pretty stoked with how stable it is feels very capable 👍
@@rokkitkit How fast can these little beasts go mate?
Good news they ship to the US and comes in cheaper than one of the high end kayaks here future plans now for sure!
Congratulations on a NICE new purchase. Get out there and go camping, we all can't wait....
Spooked something decent @4:11. A True Kit most appropriate for a RokKit Kit's kit
Well spotted mate. Big flatty?

You are so COOL man!!! Are you still up in the AC?
@@raulenriquemoya6292 Thanks. I'm done since June. I've been up there for the past 16 years, downtime for me now.
LOVE IT how u Aussies just use an obvious box cutter to open the package . An American doing this will be whipping out his hand crafted EDC survival or tactical knife. Looks amazing... the boat and the video editing !
I guess that's why they are called bvox cutters ;)
Thats awesome, gotta get myself something like that
Rig looks amazing. Epic drone shots. Your gonna have a blast with being able to bring the fam on some adventures. All the best to you mate.

Shiny new things! Always exciting. Have fun, stay safe. Don't fish for shark... been there done that, didn't go well :-)
Sharks are fun imo, but I wouldn't play that game on an inflatable haha
Can’t wait for the big trip 👍
Loving the new drone shots mate! Been here from the beginning and it just keeps getting better, hope you blow up big you deserve it

Not marked. Didn’t say.
Would you up the HP if you could?
Thank you!

will never give up the kayak👍
Nice boat. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your videos.👍
now thats a fishing rig if I've ever seen one
mad respect
Little did he know a marlin would skewer it soon thereafter. Fortunately he was carrying his repair kit! :D
im so happy for you that you got the new boat that a bit better so you are not held back as much have loads of fun dude

Fantastic new boat Sir,
Looking forward to seeing more of it too.
Would be great with a "Drag it out of the back and setting it up" video
Congrats, OVIEDO FL
Hi Rod, Did the same company provide the wheels, what is the brand of the wheels?
I got them from True Kit with the boat but they are a separate product. They are called Beach Master wheels👍
RoKKiT KiT thanks for the quick reply - big fan buddy
@@rokkitkit now you have had it for a while- despite fishing puncture do you still rate it as in this video?
I just ordered my 330 today, i have a 6hp yamaha 4 stroke that i hope will be able to push us along.
How does she work?
Hi Mate, great boat, I've gone from wanting to buy a Stealth kayak, to the Microsoft, but then I've got two young kids and no place to stow a boat, so decided looking at inflatables including this one and just ended up buying a Kaboat 470XL which should be delivered any day now. In process of buying a outboard -9.9hp4stroke. Maybe I will see you out there once I'm setup as I'm also on the GC. Enjoy
Nice set up. thanks for the info,,
thanks so much bro, your videos are really helping me get ideas to get myself back out into the wild, your a diamond!!!
Hello RoKKiT KiT ! Congratulations,be careful at sea.Hello from Russia !
Can you mount a bimini top on the Aircat?
In principle yes, but how is the stability? There is a risk of the boat capsizing when the wind is strong. However, the bimini top should only be set up when anchoring (shading). What is your opinion?
What was the length of this one?
I really like the size.
any chance the water will get in from the front?
You should get a scale and lift the front of the boat to see how much it weighs when you wheel it around
Will check it out👍

Truly at ease on this one.

Cheers m8!
Very cool looking new boat. Congrat's
How well does it drain if caught in some rain and splash?.
Seems like every Aussie I hear talk, works in the phrase "bits and pieces" into their conversation. :-)
I was going to say it looks like a little Thundercat! Sick!
After a year of use what do you think of the boat how does it handle
It’s a cool looking boat but I would be worried about fishing in it not so much about getting a hook in the side but pulling a fish onto it might spike it have a look at the porta boat range they are fold up tinys and are awesome.
Should be fine, I’ll just need to be careful when handling fish etc. lots of people fish from inflatables👍
Remarkable how much filmography without a mention of models, boat and motor. Devoid of specifications, addons, setup, inflation and unpacking !
A veritable desert of usable information. !
Very cool boat. However, u should consider some drain holes in that transom.
yep water drains at the base of the transom, I probably should have shown that👍
@@rokkitkit they are great boat designs. We used to race them in South Africa. Very fast!!!
Hey, great channel, its getting me fired up for summer post lockdown.
Nice mate, can't wait to watch all your future adventures in this awesome boat...🛥👌🏾
Are there any performance advantages to these inflatable cat types when not planing?
Congrads mate
may you tell us how can we buy slimier boats.. just start Freedivining and this baby looks like a dream man
Really like the new rig can't wait to see what is next always enjoy your vids. Have a good weekend and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts
Very nice visuals, very happy for you. She is a beauty ! Please don't ditch the 'yak.
Looking forward to the camping and fishing vid with the new duck.
First one this afternoon 5pm👍
Congrats on the new boat. I cant wait to see it in new videos!
love your content...... My dad owned a 8 passenger zodiac with a mercury engine for about 6 months, and got rid of it for a baby grand piano!!!!! I wish at that time i knew better i would've bought if from him.... most people think i'm a guy..... nope I'm a girl that love fishing.....
Very nice. Enjoy it.
Have you tried fitting and electric motor ? Just wondering if there is space for both ?
I never came up with a decent option for a trolling motor unfortunately.
Happy to see u having bigger boat. Gl
Hi! Great videos! Could you please send me a link for the wheels you use on the transom? Thank you
How far offshore do you think you could reasonably take this boat?
Isn’t the airdeck wobbly? I’m looking to buy one myself.
They pump up quite ridged. Exactly like a inflatable standup paddle board👍
Hi Rod, nice article thanx, just curious what size HP is the motor, and what is the length of the true kit, thanks Kind regards JD
This boat had a 9.8hp 2-stroke and was the 3.3m Discovery. My current dark grey one is 4m and had 18hp 2-stroke👍
Hay Rod wanna come on a quick boat camping mission around the jumping pin to test out the new rig?
Big trip planed this week, but will have to get up there soon 👍
Mini thunder cat is a nice boat
Watch a few thunder cat racing videos u will notice the sit at the back when it’s calm and the wind tunnels under the wing deck and creates less drag
Nice stuff Rod, keep doing your thing! Thanks for sharing it with us.
That would be a good little spearfishing rig. I’m wondering if I could get something similar in Australia.
I’m base on the Gold Coast in Australia. You can get them shipped directly from New Zealand 👍
RoKKiT KiT looks cool, would just be a little worried about a stray speargun tip or a big gang hook. Nice kayaks to by the way, I have often thought about one, but the ocean where I am is deadly. We’re based in Warrnambool right next to Logan’s Beach. Big, powerful ocean here...

Can't wait to see ya catch some big Spanish. Looks cool wondered what happened to the other skiff. That water looks awesome. God bless you
Where are you going to put the sounder?
still thinking about it, head unit most. probably on the transom... maybe
Ok

Cool boat - but what size motor is that?
How many feet is the boat and what hp is the engine? Thanks
Nice boat. I'm looking at the Navigator 4 meter. The True Kits look so much better quality than most of the inflatables I've researched so far.
yes the quality seems great👍
@@rokkitkit Good to know. Thx. Other than True Kit's own videos.. there's not much video reviews out there.

Excellent Rod. Looks like the beginning of a new era.
Well done mate.
Hi rod your were saying in the video that the grey fuel line is allot better than the black stuff. Please keep an eye on this fuel
Line as it will start to harden and crack on you very quickly compared to the black rubberised fuel line. Only an observation from owning fishing boats and race boats. Cheers from Darwin NT.
Yea this new grey fuel line is like the black the rubberized one. Different from the cheap glossy hard one👍
RoKKiT KiT ah good stuff I was hoping you hadn’t fallen for the cheap stuff. Great to

Our next dinghy for our sailboat
That's such a sick little boat! Im a massive fan of that. would be all you need to go to Moreton or fraser island for a couple of days.
Wow that’s awesome Rod, great bit of kit. Soooo looking forward to your next vid. Loved the drone shots by the way
Will have to take you for a spin 👌
RoKKiT KiT so keen👍 Looking forward to seeing the vid from your trip, that’s the sort of thing Lavonne and I want to do.
Sick new ride Rod.
Thanks Brook🤙
It's really a good boat, a really good design
The front curves on the boats makes a nice bed 🤔🤙 .keep it up
haha, I thought the same thing the first time I blew it up😆 if you had a tarp over it you could. just camp in it. Might even give it a go 👍
Bro can you tell me the length and width of that boat?
I love your new toy Rod. Fantastic piece of gear. Makes for more great videos mate. I was impressed with the stability in the tight circle shots from the drone. Impressive stuff. I can see many more videos coming up soon.
