Thanks for that, very informative.

Brilliant, I’ve been looking for ideas for the same set up. I launch and retrieve out of Portland Weymouth so this should help with my ideas.

Glad it could help you. It really is easy. The problem I will have is, I was to circumnavigate around the isle of White. To do this I have my Motorhome to drop off when it’s all set up and I can’t leave my boat without the thought it will go missing. Finding a slipway is easy finding a place to park us a nightmare. At Loch Lomond it was perfect I even stayed there 2 nights leaving my SIB blown up to get back into the water easy.

Oh the leaf blower I think was £24 but it’s brilliant. So much faster to do. With practice I reckon you get the boat up in 3 to 5 minutes.

what model name of pump you use ?

Hi Ray, great video. We’ve got the same boat and we also have a motorhome. Was interested in the box where you keep the outboard. Where is it from and how is it attached? Cheers.

What is the model honwave ???? Problem

What did you use to suck the last bit of air out of it and do you also use it to inflate with?

@raykeogh1972

Standing on it gets the last bit of air my weight will do. If your heavier than my 10 stone you will get mor air out. I’ve done it where the bag looks two sizes too big for the boat lol. I use the mini leaf blower to start blow it to saggy all around then the leaf blower till it’s hard all round then the foot pump to get the right bar.

@@raykeogh1972 Ok thanks for your reply. Does your mini leaf blower have a few valve attachments for the Halkey Roberts Valve and the Boston Valve or did you buy the valve attachments for the mini leaf blower separately? Curious to know how you did it with your boat style of valve, or does your boat have the Leafield Marine C7 valve? I'm interested to buy a mini leaf blower for its portable benefits for both starting off inflating my boat and to start off my wife's stand up paddleboard then finishing her board off to 15psi with the stand up double action hand pump. I'd like mini leaf blower to start things off and as a suction action near the end like you did here.

@@markweatherall7437 Niether, What you have to do is push the valve in as to let it down, then put your leaf nozzle to the valve and turn it on. When you get to it being fully blown get your thumb ready to swivel the valve. it lets some air out but thats when you use the fut pump to get it to the right pressure. it should be only 10 foot pressures .
