    Going over to inflatables.

    So, have taken the Sea Eagle out several times in the sound while camping at the coast. Everything has been great so far. Easy to inflate with the two stage pump. The Mercury 6hp has also been flawless. Goes in as low as 6” of water. For my wife and I it’s perfect so far. Plenty of room. Very...

    Or if you have the money sell the 20 and buy a 40.

    Going over to inflatables.

    I understand about the prop. However I’m not going out to race. And with me and my wife in the boat; going into 15mph winds and still hit 13mph is very good in my opinion. I also figured out that I had forgotten to trim the outboard up. I still had it in the lowest down position. So, with all...

    Avon seasport 3.45 + 55hp Yamaha?

    Looks like that boat max engine weight is around 214 Lbs. What does your 55 weigh?

    I would think like most they go by weight.

    Recommended PSI

    The two-stage pump rapidly inflates with a high capacity turbine blower and then switch to a high pressure piston pump to pressurize the hull from 1 to 14.5 PSI. I didn’t get the one with the battery. I just use the battery on my truck.

    Recommended PSI

    Here’s the two pumps sold at sea eagle.com. I have the two stage turbo. A little expensive but works really well.

    Recommended PSI

    Older post I know. Just wonder what you figured out. Sea eagle sells pumps that you set to correct pressure and it turns off automatically when it reaches desired psi.

    How to get boat launched daily when Travel Trailer camping?

    I camp next to the sound at the coast. I know that’s not always available. Some good suggestions above. I like the break down trailer idea. Before I purchased my inflatable I had an ocean Kayak. With assistance from a friend we made a custom roof rack that extended to the front of my truck. I...

    Going over to inflatables.

    Got our FKS16 out for the maiden voyage in one of our freshwater lakes today. Stayed out for about 6 hours. Our Mercury 6hp did well. Of course the winds got up to 15mph. Going into the wind we still reached 13mph. All in all everything went well. Can’t wait to hit the sound at the coast in the...

    The fks is 16 feet. There are three chambers. 1-floor, 2-sides. Inflates to 15 psi and is rock solid on the sides and the floor. The inflation is you have to open each of the three inflation covers. The stem is a spring loaded. To inflate you have to push down and turn 1/4 turn counter...

    Finally got my inflatable in after waiting almost three months on back order. Checked things out then deflated it and stored it until warmer weather.

    I just purchased a new inflatable from SeaEagle.com. Also purchased a 12v 2stage pump. Set the dial and hit start button and it shuts off when correct inflation is reached. As far as finding leaks. Fill spray bottle with water and liquid soap (I like dawn) shake up. Air up and spray with soapy...

    Going over to inflatables.

    I’ve owned several small boats and kayaks. I pull a fifth wheel camper and stay at the coast of NC in April and October for the entire months. Decided to purchase a Sea Eagle FKS16 and a 6hp Mercury four stroke. Already picked up the engine and waiting on the inflatable that’s been back ordered...
