Thanks for the honest assembly video!

I have to say they did a pretty good job for the first time, a few mistakes but assembling an inflatable, especially one rite out of the box brand new can be challenging. I have done this over 10 times in my life and each time I get better at it. Because this a pain in the you know what I have a trailer and now assemble once per year. Soapy water will help when applying the stringers especially a new boat it acts like a lubricant.

this boat works in the ocean no problem (if i'm understanding the french comment here) and in fact we have a number of them running off the coast of oregon doing daily duty for guides and surfmen. GO COMMANDO!

Awesome job guys!

Geez.. You boys are making this look hard. I had a 13 foot Bombard Brisbane for years that I trailered behind a Toyota Celica. I trailered it because the less you took it apart and put it together the better it was for the boat. I bought the Brisbane at the time because I couldn't afford the Commando. The Brisbane had wooden floors I would clear-seal every season to a glossy shine. It had a 25 HP Yamaha on it with electric start. That boat could carry 3 divers gear and six tanks. And still get up on plane. the wooden keel was pure genius (mine was wood). It was a superior inflatable easy to get in and out of with two seconds of instruction. I used it mostly in Cape Ann, MA and down in Woods Hole.

What year did bombard use welded seams for these boats?

haha! versatec i think you may be fibbing just a little. i run most of these boats in this size, r.i.b.s and roll ups and others. new boat first assembly is always the hardest. my commando c4 is 7 minutes from start to finish, a classic or futura is much harder with the bow rise and hd floors making the boat extremely difficult for a newcomer or even a veteran(20 minutes on average).the commando keel stretches the boat into length and shape making the floors and most inportantly the stringers drop right in. performance wise the bombard (actually a division of zodiac boats) will bury anything else in it's class and horse power rating. don't take my word for it watch ron mausell OWN all other makes and models in one of his many races through out the 80s and 90s he won several world championships on his c3 with a 40hp.

it was their first time which is why we filmed it.'

❤❤❤

Il paiolo non è messo in modo corettol

this is crazy ,,,, the man is standing and walking on the boat and trying to fix the parts ,,,,????? he thought he's on water ???

Looks like a pain in the ass.

Hi Inflatable Boat Center, Are you serious? Or did you do this clip to make people laugh? If you're serious? Then I wonder what are you doing? If it's a joke? Then there was nothing. Then I understand.

Looks like a ball ache to me ..

Do these boats burst in strong sun because they are black?

No Idea what there doing....
