Picked this up for a fishing boat project. This thing really is like the Honda civic of the inflatable boat modding world!
So far I have made the following additions:
* Carpeted wood floor
* Intex Motor mount
* Newport Vessels 46 LB trolling Motor
* Built a Power station to power: motor, USB chargers, a 120v Inverter, Solar charge controller, and Watt Meter's to see input and output
* 40W Solar Panel
* 110 AH Marine Deep cycle Battery
* Carpeted bench seat on rear with storage for tackle boxes
* Carpeted bench seat at front for the Power Station
* Extra fishing rod holders
* Boat emergency kit and small anchor
Next up looking at adding:
* Fish finder
* Lighting for night fishing
* Canopy roof to hold the solar panel
* Possibly a small bench in center for mini cooler and live well
We gave it a test run before I started adding things and it was still super fun, Oars feel solid and barely felt a second person when they got in. Very little drag in water so it is very easy to get going with one person on the Oars. I imagine you could pick up a second set of Oars and have front and rear Oars going at same time with two people to get some serious speed or control.
Durability seems solid, we launched it on a rocky beach and it had zero issues. Easy to build and inflate, I had an electric pump but wanted to test how much time/energy it would take to pump up manually. Managed to do it in about 5-7 minutes with not to much strain. Pump pushes air on the push and pull so it pumps quick.
Definitely happy with this purchase after looking for months at all different options.
Will update with pictures once build is complete!
