I really like the bimini top with the 3rd bow and rear struts. It looks much nicer than the simple 2 bow model that I have. Where did you buy it? Also, how much does your boat weigh? I have the lightest 12.5' boat Saturn offered, called Mars. It's only 95 lbs & has an inflatable floor. It has been a good boat. I've found that I have to go slow when the water gets choppy because the boat gets bounced around & it's hard to steer. Maybe a heavier version would handle the chop better. I think the main issue is that it's only 12.5' long. Some folks have asked if it's okay to leave them inflated. I've left mine in the water, parked in the shade (PVC isn't good being in constant sun), for a few months this Summer and also last Summer. The air pressure drops over time & needs to be pumped up after a couple of weeks, probably more often in hotter weather than cooler weather. The bottom gets slimy, but it comes off pretty well with a bit of bleach.

You can definitely leave it inflated. A lot of people actually do leave it inflated and put it on an actual trailer and store it in their garage. That’s the only thing, I’m not sure how well it would do being outside all the time. I would imagine the sun would break it down after a few years of being outside all the time.

Great questions! I live close to St. Louis so I store the boat for a good portion of the year as well. If I had unlimited space I would store the boat with 50% air but unfortunately I just can’t lose that much space to it over the winter months. I roll it up and it stays in my garage. I have been curious about mice as well but I have never had a problem with them yet. Hope this helps!

@@ColtenBethel I appreciate your opinion but they’re really not all basically the same. They look similar and have similar sizing but when you drill down the thickness you get and where you get it is not the same and for persons like me who use inflatables in far more rugged environments than what you showed, a fraction of a mm matters, where has extra rub strakes by default matters. Also for a 12’ I’d absolutely suggest an air floor over alu. I personally would love it if we could get air floors in the 14-16’ inflatable range but I don’t recall seeing any with that yet.

Is it best to store the boat deflated in the bag over the Winter months " I live in the Northeast" or keep it inflated. I am also concerned with mice getting in to the garage and eating the PVC Any recommendations? Thanks so much

Great questions! I live close to St. Louis so I store the boat for a good portion of the year as well. If I had unlimited space I would store the boat with 50% air but unfortunately I just can’t lose that much space to it over the winter months. I roll it up and it stays in my garage. I have been curious about mice as well but I have never had a problem with them yet. Hope this helps!

Nice video I live in Florida in a apt, I have a inflatable kayak and want to buy an inflatable like your. My question is do you have to register the inflatable if you have a overboard motor like yours and would it be to heavy to lift for a woman 5’2”. I don’t always want to depend on someone to mount the motor
Great video
Can you show us bimini glue on pads ? And also where does front hooks hook to from bimini? Did u had to glue new pads for front hooks? Also can you fold bimini backwards as you fish for example? And what mounts for rods does this boat has? I glue on scottys pads but they tend to be large, yours seem to be smaller, can you show us brand or a closer look of your glue on pads pls thanks
Well done.. have fun with it🇺🇲🤠

Love the boat. Can you share the link. I want to order one. Do you travel with the boat on top of your suv or is that from the campsite to the water only?

The boat deflates enough that I put it in the back of the suv while we travel. I am making an update video on it this summer when we go back to the same place for vacation.

That looks so awesome. How do you think this boat would do if it was you and your wife, and 2 kids (6-8 year olds)?

I think it should still plain out. If that were my cause I would probably go with a 20hp motor. I wouldn’t go when a longer one either. They flex too much and don’t plain out very well. A 12ft with a 20hp would be perfect
Like this boat.. Nice.. 👌

Bleqve are not just wood transom fiberglass add I bleave on mine wot h means it’s stronger made take care of them amd they will last tho cool video

I have an update video I need to put out on it but the boat is still in great condition. I have not taken it out this year. The only problem I have had with it is I hit some pretty big waves and slightly bent one of my Metal floor panels. I think I can fix it but that would be the only negative I have so far I would not go any larger than the 12 foot as the 16 foot version is a little bit too flexible in my opinion

Nope, that is not Saturn boat. Saturn doesn’t make boats with plastic handles outside. Because plastic handles fall off in few years. Different boat, different factory, different quality.

@@ColtenBethel I appreciate your opinion but they’re really not all basically the same. They look similar and have similar sizing but when you drill down the thickness you get and where you get it is not the same and for persons like me who use inflatables in far more rugged environments than what you showed, a fraction of a mm matters, where has extra rub strakes by default matters. Also for a 12’ I’d absolutely suggest an air floor over alu. I personally would love it if we could get air floors in the 14-16’ inflatable range but I don’t recall seeing any with that yet.

@@mattbec I see your point and really you correct. If someone had to break the bot down by its exact specifications there probably would be some differences. The use of the boat like you’re saying would really be the determining factor. For someone like me who uses it in Florida really they all are the same.
This is not a review! You name 3 makers and then don't refer to two of them. Basically you camp out on a beach and say what friggin fun it all is.
