    Looks great. Those little harbor freight trailers are about a perfect setup to move one of these.

    You are right i should have made a short video but all you need to do is measure the inside width and build a small box. I covered mine with a thin carpet as for the seats i took the width of the box and found two seats that would fit. Thanks for watching, Mike.

    very cool, been looking for a boat i could take with us camping with our travel trailer. Saw the Saturn inflatables and was trying to decide which one to get when i ran into you video. Perfect timing! Really thinking about the 14' FKB430 but with only 11' internal length it seemed short but you seem to have plenty of room. Of course yours is a foot wider. I was just concerned that with 2 guys fishing, one would be sitting in the other's lap :) looks like it would be ok though.

    Thanks for watching Kevin and yah it seems to be enough room for fishing with two people. We will definitely doing some fishing here in the near future as long as the weather permits. I think you are looking at the more narrow boat and that one looks cool as well. Mike

    Man that is a SWEEEEEET setup you got there!!! When you get the bearing buddys will you post model # and install info. I have the same trailer and have been meaning to add those bunks to tow my 11ft Azzuro Mare (also by Saturn) w/ air deck and it flexes quite a bit under load and when on plane. I wonder how ot would handle with the aluminum floor.. it'll be heavy as hell but prob more sturdy and robust. I have mine paired with a 20hp Suzuki 4strk. Thanks.

    Excellent video! My question is about trailering with so m much weight behind the trailer axle. Typically we should have more weight forward of the axle to prevent fish tailing. I have the zk430 with a Yamaha F8 (87lbs). Oolers and gear forward in bow maybe? How's yours do on the road? Thanks, Chris

    Is there a reason you can’t put the 2 nice seats back where your first aluminum bench is ? If I’m fishing alone I think I’d rather be steering the boat in a nice seat instead of the aluminum bar. Is there room back there for that ?
