I love seeing videos like this. Out with your boy on the boat!.. nice video

Well done fellas.

Nice father and son day always the best. Just wandering how you did the seats there

Now looking back i probably should have made a short video. I basically just measured the inside and built a box and covered it in carpet then mounted two seats that also met the measurement requirement. It was not that difficult and worth the effort. Thanks for watching Mike.

A dad and his son out on the boat. Is there anything better? The boat looked like it handled real nice. You guys were moving along real good. I like the house. It looks like the ones down here in the keys. Nice video. I do feel bad about the whale though.

Have you used the front mount for a trolling motor at all yet? I have a 14ft inflatable and I'm thinking about grabbing this model because it has the front mount already built in..

Thanks for watching and no we have not used the trolling mount. I pretty sure we will never have a need for it but i will say its definitely solid and would work well if you used it.

Thank you for posting. I'm debating buying the same boat but torn between the fb and hd fishing boat model. I'm curious about the seat modification for your boy. How did you make or buy it. Didn't see you had a video on it.

Do you have to mount the box to the floor& if not does it slide?

Sorry for the late response, it is pretty straight forward just make sure the wheels are low enough and use sealant.

I have a 13’ saturn boat can you suggest a trailer. I use a boat ramp but it takes me about an hour to set up looking for a trailer that will fit this kind of boat

First off thank you for watching, yes the Harbor Fright folding trailer works perfect. You can do a few modifications if you want but do not really need to. Hopefully by the end of this month i will have a video out about the trailer and how i modified it.Thanks again for watching Mike.

I got the SD385. I used to take it down like you do. My seats on a CE smith multi sport trailer. Boat transom ends right at the rear cross channel so I can support it unless you take the motor off every time. Learned my lesson without supporting the transom with motor on, glue came apart from wood than leaked in less than a year (warranty not cover). Also Saturn never prime/seal the wooden transom where is glued. I ended up had to remove the whole thing than dry, sand, clamp & glue. I hope this helps.

Great video! What flooring do you have on your Saturn? Is that the manufactures aluminum flooring it came with? If not, can you inform me on it? Looks great!

I can't believe you drove that nice Polaris into the saltwater. Your boat has transom wheels. Was the sand too soft to use them?

Thanks for watching and yes we do. I do leave it slightly under pressure and pump it up fully before use. I also remove the motor to help not stress the transom and cover the boat with a heavy canvas tarp. Thanks Mike
