Something important missing in the video is, always have a line attached to the boat before placing it in the water as in this video, the boat can get away from you by wind or a passing boat's wake
Thankyou for your input - we are planning on making a new one and will be sure to include it!
"Put the oar under the boat" - - God Bless You.
Thx for your comment! It’s one of those things that when you do it for the first time and the side rail that you’ve been wrestling with for the past hour just slots in you go - oh yea, why didnt i do that right away!!
The easiest time I’ve ever had getting my inflatable together for the season, many thanks from Alaska!
Got a 4.2m Tohatsu sib, luckily its permanently on a trailer but to increase the longevity of your boat deflate it when not in use to stop constant pressure on the seams.
Thanks for the thorough video, great stuff
Glad it was helpful!
Yes. Thanks for the video. Raising the floors to get the side bars in was the secret sauce I needed for my Bris 10ft Dinghy.
A great video clip. We have been sharing it for some time. Really gives people a insight before they purchase a alloy floor sib. Thank you.
Thank you for the positive comment, we will be making some more vids this summer
We had a Cobra 8.50 sailing boat and we always inflated our dinghy with a wooden floor on the coachroof without any problems. The “No Brainer” it to invest in 12 volt inflator pump, that takes all the hard work out of it.
If you are only using for a day or so, then Yes! the solid floor may be a hassle but having
used other inflatable’s with soggy floors I’d take a hard floor any day.
the oars trick is fantastic, thanks....
I have a hydro-force ad i have problem to assemble.
Whit your video a nightmare is finish!!!!
Thank from Italy!!!
Really helped me figure out how to put together my rubber boat
Probably the best video explaining how to do a aluminium top watch so worried to set my honwave up just in cass i mass up the floor
Aww shucks!! Thank you very much
Thankyou very helpful. Made assembly easy with your the trick with the oars
Looks good. Another idea for a video:
How to disassemble an inflatable boat.
How long does it take and what is the correct workflow?
I like it! Will do that this spring
damn, starting to consider the inflatable floor model after seeing this
Absolutely, the airdeck boats are a breeze to assemble comparatively, however, the heavy duty boat is a super tough thing once assembled, best for users who will leave it up for a few days at a time.
Была лодка с таким дном . Теперь лодки с дном нднд это совсем другая жизнь
Very good video quality for 10 year old video
It's the same as my Seamaster Q! Nice:)
This video is about how to assemble a Bill Higham Marine inflatable boat.
my old zodiac mk2 is way harder lol wooden floor with 1 aluminum runner on either side which makes it a pain in the ass to assemble
I also have a rubber boat, but when i put the rails i do it FIRST. It´s much easyer.

Good day, Sirs, anyone knows where to buy such a set of aluminum floor for Zodiac Mark 3 Futura? Thanks
You can order from any zodiac dealer - but it is expensive. We have quite a lot of Ali floor material that we can use to make a floor for you if you can give us your boat to take the template from
Never Ever start an outboard motor from outside the boat
What is the name of the pump you use
How many ft is this particular boat?
Great! May we grow together in our respective channels
My wife and I just spent hours trying to assemble our new Mercury Adventure 340 to no avail. Was so excited, but even following the (vague) instructions, the floor just would not lay flat. Has a hard plastic floor with H-channels between them. It was positively not going to work. Serious buyers remorse. One day until moose season. Going to see if the dealer can work through it with us. My buddy had an older Merc with the alloy floor, and it was waaaaaay easier than this thing. I'd say you have one of the better inflatable assembly videos out there, and even that didn't help. Open to suggestions. Thanks.
I just got a Mercury 430 since my Sea Eagle 12.5 had its last breath. I must admit that the Sea Eagle was so so so much easier to setup since it is overall lighter and uses plastic floorboards which are easier to handle. When I started to assemble the 430, many words were coming out of my garage and I was also on the verge to quitting as it seemed near impossible to hold up the two heavy aluminum boards while fighting the tension from the boat. After seeing many videos which again didn't help, I found my own solution which you may want to try. The most difficult part was lifting the two floorboard and forming a tent which you then need to push down by standing on it. In order to make this feasible, I used a small bucket ( a pillow may be better ) and place this under one of the boards so it remained at an angle. I was then able to adjust the boat fabric and then bring the second board up so they meet and form the triangle. When that was complete, I removed the bucket and then pushed the boards down to completion. Again, everyone may have their own way, but after a number of hours of cursing at this thing, I think I now have a solution to the process.
VERY VERY VERY N-I-C-E this boat!!!!
What is name??
Many thanks in advance...
Easy to install.how long is boat?
It took me 1full day to assembly it. Mostly due to the al floor fitting was a nightmare..
I hope now with this video you are able to get the time down to around 45 mins
Hi Do you need a license to go on that boat and does it float in salt water
Link to seaproboats doesn't work
Hi mate, what are you using for your pump setup?
I wonder you have the two side holder bars correctly. Thanks
saw eheh i
Hi yes please & how much for the hole packge to be sent out to New Zealand & price with an electeric pump like the one that you use to pump it up with please .
Hi Robbie, Carriage to New Zealand would be prohibitively expensive from the UK i'm afraid, but thanks for the vote of confidence in our product!
How much pressure when inflating please?
Hi chris, tubes and keel are 25kpa (just under 4psi), if you have an airdeck then that can be anywhere from 30kpa (for cheaper boats) up to 80kpa for top quality like our Seapro ;)
Whitch model is this one
nice i wanna see if there good cause Alibaba are unclear
You wont see this boat on alibaba, they are designed in the UK
What is the size of this boat?
Just bought Aquos 380! Where do I send the photo?
Добавте до цього прохолодну погоду, невиличкий дощ або комарів і зберати цей настил буде одне задоволення, да ще забувся про вітерець з пісочком)
أخي رقم المهرب ممكن
Does any one knows which size this one was ? 10ft, 12ft ... ????
Hi, its a Seapro 310 HD (3.1m) which is around 10ft
Hi how is the quality of this engine ?
They are a great little engine! Actually the day this video was made we had a boat test done by a boating magazine, the engine ran down the end of the lake, but was a little smoky, so we decided to come back, it just made it back to the pontoon before cutting out (about 1/2 hour in total). We checked to see what the problem was, and found that we had been running the engine on Diesel by accident!! And it ran on it for 1/2 hour!! Flushed it through with petrol and it started straight up and we were able to complete the test with no probs.
I like my inflatable but I will never get another one with a hard floor, it will have an inflatable floor as a matter of fact I'm looking for an inflatable floor for the one I have
There is airmat floor
For that one?
theeasybeats I mean there is various floors for this kind of boat. like airmat floor, aluminul floor.
I know the plywood and aluminum floors are a nightmare! Horrible!
why? they are not strong enough?
Cpro??
No cPro is a rip off of our brand name actually. Not the same quality, all our boats are made from German VALMEX fabric, the best and toughest in the business!
Thx for your comment and question!
Bill Higham Marine how much are yours please? James.k.b@live.co.uk
