Well done with catching the drone 😅 Quick question: I am towing between an inflatable kayak-canoe or a nice inflatable like yours. An inflatable will ofcourse have more space. But can you tell me how practical you think it will be for river use with paddles. Will it work if my wife sits in the front and me at the back - both of us rowing?

Its a kayak transducer mount. I listed the link in the description of that video. Its pretty sturdy for what I need it for. I have gone full speed multiple times with the arm in the water but loses its sturdiness since it flexes with the inflatable tube so I typically swing it up since the transducer wont read at full speed anyway and dont want to put extra stress on the arm for no reason.

You can set the drone to go back to we’re the control is fact I have a phantom 4 pro woth sensors always change the settings to go back to the control fact and the sun also affects the drone sensor s and as long as you keep it 8 feet above the water your good

Hello, I like that boat and I'm about to purchase it. My only concern that in southern california the weather is really hot and in the summer this black color will make the boat even hotter and toasty to touch. it's a 1.2mm which is why I like it but the color is my issue. Asking for a friend ! do you guys see my point or is it really not a big deal ? My last concern is that I'll be taking it off shore , down to Catalina island. is it safe ? will it do ok ? My motor is 20HP suzuki.

@cBelowH2O

Жыл бұрын

Hey. I haven't tested how much heat the black retains compared to a lighter color. From what I've learned from others is the black will be a little bit hotter than say a white one. It gets about as hot as a vinyl boat seat would get. I usually just splash some water on it if I need to touch a spot that's not already wet..lol...as far as being safe, these boats are pretty safe. There is 3 individual chambers of air on this boat so one or two can get deflated and retain its buoyancy. They are high volume, low pressure tubes so would never pop like a tire or other high pressure tube would. Always keep a pump and materials to fix a hole on board at all times so repairs would be simple and can be done easily on the water. You can literally fill this boat with water and it will not sink, unlike a jon boat or fiberglass hull boat. Hope that helps.
