So I know most threads about kaboats are met with responses to just buy a regular aluminum floor SIB, but I frankly like trying something new, especially at a price point of $600-800. I also frequently fish on creeks small enough that the usual canoe and kayak guys would gawk at you if you brought a full sized dinghy. So, just ordered a 14.1ft Bris inflatable boat which is essentially a Saturn Kaboat but with:
- 17" instead of 14" interior width
- More steeply curved bow to prevent splashing
- Larger tubes
- Foot pump instead of hand pump
Ordered it from amazon for $600 shipped, heres a link: https://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-p...UTF8&qid=1495649514&sr=8-2&keywords=bris+14.1
I will be taking it on shallow rivers and a few small electric only lakes over the summer to fish and will update with how it holds up. I have the following simple mods/upgrades planned:
- trolling motor
- bolt a swivel mount and folding seat directly to rearmost bench seat
- bolt rod holders onto middle bench
- some sort of flooring over the air floor to prevent punctures
Initial amazon and ebay reviews are very positive but i haven't seen a comprehensive review yet, so you're welcome
