That a great motor Bengie. My friend has a much bigger model on his 25 foot Welcraft. It’s been very reliable. Nice boat. Just got that orange Kayak Autopilot 120 by Old Town. Go CSA.
nice on the 120...I've been eyeing the 136 with auto pilot (or whatever they call the automatic feature to keep it on spot, kinda nice but has to have affect on power...meh, it's a couple years out though)
@@rkw221 No my battery last all day. Autopilot does not drain the battery. I would stick to buying the AP 120. The larger one to heavy. I can also do offshore no problem. Very stable.
Ah Benjie, ...so good to see you evolving as a fisherman. Good luck on the new craft. Your energy is so positive, you will do fine on the new adventure. Tight lines my friend!
I bought the 430 to take my two kid out. Really stable. But the person in front will get water splashed on their legs so I had my daughter wear rain pants. You might want to get the beach wheels . They are good to use on beach or boat ramp. If you drag on ground you will slowly wear out bottom. I use an electric motor instead of gas motor. I had a 3.5hp tohatsu. It worked well but tired of gasoline smell. When storing the motor at home I left air vent open. The reason was with my shed getting hot the gas vapor expanded and stretched the cap seal if air vent is closed. So, when transporting motor in car lying down gas would leak out cap. I replaced gas tank in motor and started leaving air vent open in shed-no more issues with gas leaking in car
Such good information and experience shared here, thank you so much. Invaluable for me. I actually have the sand trolley from scout but I left it at home that day because I assumed Graham would bring his. Turns out he forgot to bring his too lol! Really good to know about leaving the air vent open, very practical experience here that I would not have known otherwise. Thank you so much!
@@BenjieKimFishing yeah! I’m super excited to use it. I’m planning on getting a motor next month, but I’m probably gonna row it around the harbor to fish for spotties in the mean time. I’m honestly new to this whole boat thing too haha. I’m definitely down to fish together once I get the motor 🔥
Hey bro, if you’re gonna get the 440, let me know. I have a code that can give you 10% off. Full disclosure, I also get a small commission but it’s a win win. But either way, I hope you get one, I LOVE my scout!
How awesome is that! The Scout should make an amazing fishing machine! I’m thinking I’ll be seeing you down at La Jolla Shores in the very near future!🎣😃
Thank you Dan, I'm so glad to see you back on the water lately! Hopefully I'll give La Jolla a shot this Summer, but I'm gonna need a lot of practice before that happens. I REALLY don't want to flip! lol!
Good job on the videos benjie! My best friend and I just got back into fishing, we recently got new baitcaster reels and rods. Doing most of our fishing in the carlsbad area. Would be cool to see you out there sometime or meet up and learn with/more from you!
Hey thanks so much for stopping by and the comment Jedison. That's so awesome man, glad that you and your friend are getting back into it. IMO fishing is one of the healthiest and most positive things we can do for fun. I think Carlsbad is a great fishery, I wish I lived closer! I do make it down there when I can so would be great to run into you some time!
Congratulations bro!! Glad to to see you happy in your new adventure. I am trying to get there in the future with my fishing experience. My channel is just surf fishing for now. Stay save.
Ok. Gotta admit, these now strike my interest. I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a Hobie pedal drive kayak but bulkiness, weight, and cost has kept me from pursuing it further. I’ve owned a couple inflatable boats in the past and have done a fair amount of fishing from them. This particular boat is designed a little differently in shape it seems. I plan on taking a closer look at them.
My only experience is with Scout, but the portability factor was huge for me cuz of my messy garage lol. Maybe it'll be a good option for ya and then we can fish together! Thanks Steve for everything and wishing you a slay trip in Baja!!
Thanks for the tip Mike! Supposedly this thing can be laid on 3 different sides (there are notches to show which sides) without leaking. But idk man, I feel like it might not be fool proof. But your comment gave me the thought that I should probably lay a blanket or some tarp under all my equipment beforehand. Appreciate you man, thanks for the comment!
Hey Benjie, I got a Scout inflatable too. I was impressed with your videos and also went to the Scout demo in Long Beach. My motor comes in in a couple of days, let me know if you want to launch our boats some time. It’s always safer to take out the boat with other people.
Hey Chris, apologies on the late reply but congrats on picking up a scout brotha! I heard someone showed up to the demo day right after I left and I think that must have been you. Bummed to have missed you! Keep in touch brotha, I need to fire up my motor soon and I'm looking forward to putting some good time on the Scout this year in the harbors some open ocean as well!
Thank you brotha! I'm still brand new to all this but as of now there are many pros to this thing. The portability is huge for me and my tiny garage lol
Oh nice!! Yea, we checked out the breakwall my first time out on this thing. It was slow that day but I'll definitely be fishing there again in the future.
Wow Benjie that looks sweet...That’s my fantasy to have something like that but like you scared of the elements. Maybe seeing you do it step by step will instill some confidence in me. I surf and pier fish only. Congrats I’m really happy for you. You look like a kid on Christmas Day Bro! Lol...
Haha thanks so much Andrew! Yea, I really do have limited experience with anything boat related so I have a lot of things to learn. Things that are obvious for many aren't so obvious for me right now, but I'm gonna pay attention and learn....hopefully not the hard way!
Yes Sir He actually Pointed me in right direction and got me a little discount picking up Tuesday From Scout. Thank you for helping sell it also! New subscriber also keep up the Content be following on your Journey!
carb engines.. make sure you run it dry each time your done.. as in pull the fuel line or cut off switch ..other maintenance stuff on youtube you can look also ..simple care will last a engine for a very long time... some people still running their 2 strokes from the 90s but they dont make them for usa much as 4 strokes and EFI is the thing
No way man, lifting five gallon buckets, tinting 200 gallon orders, ruining the suspension by delivering last minute orders in my Accord, and working 60 hour weeks was the DREAM!! Lol, thanks Daniel, I hope you're well man!!
Congrats Benjie! Can’t wait to see the new species you will be catching in your boat! Would love to see the process you go through to launch it; from packing it at home to getting it on the water. Thank you!
Hey Roderick, the Scout 365 that I have is a 12 footer and you can fit 2 people but I haven't tried it out yet. The 430 is a 14 footer and that would be even better for multiple people.
I don't have exact specs, but it fits in my garage really well, my wife doesn't even notice it. I have a bag for the boat and one with all the accessories and it all fits right around my motor cart. I've never physically been in a Forester but my guess is that it would be more than fine. My friend Graham can fit 2 Scouts in his Honda CRV.
Thank you Tony, hopefully the dream of getting one will one day become reality. I got your message the other day, apologies on not responding but hopefully we can do it next week. I'll connect with you soon!

But either way, I hope you get one, I LOVE my scout!
Time for us to hit the water! I got a takacat with a tohatsu 9.9 back in January. Let's goooo
WHAAAAAT?! Uhhhh, yea man we need to plan something for sure. And the water is only getting warmer!!!
"You're gonna need a bigger boat." LOL, have fun.
LOL, thank you so much, I'm excited!
That would be awesome to take up to Sierra's and put it in the mountain lakes
Oh man, that's on my mind as well!!
How awesome is that! The Scout should make an amazing fishing machine! I’m thinking I’ll be seeing you down at La Jolla Shores in the very near future!🎣😃

Oh, my~ Congrats, congrats, Benjie!!!!!!! Now, you can venture out more spots~
Thank you, I'm excited for new adventures!
Uh-oh, BK is off the beach! Nice little launch, man.

Congratulations, Benjie!
Appreciate it, thank you Wayne!
Cool video Benjie! I look forward to seeing your first adventure on it!
Thanks neighbor!! Hopefully I won't do anything dumb but I'll learn either way!
Super cool dude
Thank you very much!
Can’t wait to see your adventures in this thing!

@@BenjieKimFishing I am soooo looking forward to Baja! Not sure what you are thanking me for but..... you’re welcome? 😂
Keep the motor upright when transporting. Keeping it on its side is a good way to drain oil onto the floor of your van. Congrats on the new boat

Dude yes!!
Thank you!!
Nice! I also have an inflatable boat i pretty much fish the LB Breakwall for now and its really fun!

Hey Benji where did you order those Horizontal Rod Holders Im very interested in ordered some for my new Scout I pulled the Trigger!
carb engines.. make sure you run it dry each time your done.. as in pull the fuel line or cut off switch ..other maintenance stuff on youtube you can look also ..simple care will last a engine for a very long time... some people still running their 2 strokes from the 90s but they dont make them for usa much as 4 strokes and EFI is the thing
Thank you for the valuable tips, stuff like this helps me learn and grow!
@@BenjieKimFishing i just got a 9.9 tohatsu with a 11 foot inflatable boat.. 9.9hp is a beast i should of got 6hp lol
Can you put a list on why you bought and how much?? Boat.. motor.. accessories, etc. Please! Thank you! Considering selling my PA17t
I can work on that for sure, that's a great suggestion!
Hello, Scout I want one too !
Is it Jim bicsbey the right spelling for the accessory for my 430 Scout love your ideas
Nice!👍
Thank you!!
Please keep show how to accessing your scout
That thing is a beast
I'm excited to break it in, learn new things, and hopefully catch a few!
@@BenjieKimFishing most definately, u gonna have a blast!!
2 anglers*
Did I see Outrigers on your inflatable boat?
Jealous... you're living the dream!
No way man, lifting five gallon buckets, tinting 200 gallon orders, ruining the suspension by delivering last minute orders in my Accord, and working 60 hour weeks was the DREAM!!
Lol, thanks Daniel, I hope you're well man!!
Congrats Benjie! Can’t wait to see the new species you will be catching in your boat! Would love to see the process you go through to launch it; from packing it at home to getting it on the water. Thank you!
Thank you for the stoke! That's a great suggestion, I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos!
That stabilizer bar, is that an extra add on? Or does that come stock with the boat?
Hi Albert, the stabilizer bar is an extra accessory that must be purchased. IMO its an essential item that everyone should get if you have a scout.
Can you fit 2 on those?! Never seen these never 😅😅
Hey Roderick, the Scout 365 that I have is a 12 footer and you can fit 2 people but I haven't tried it out yet. The 430 is a 14 footer and that would be even better for multiple people.
Is the 430 but Jim never got back to. Emailed him but sorry
Where did you get the registration number plates? Custom made?
You can order the blanks from the Scout Inflatable website. I got the lettering from Home Depot.
How much garage space does it take up? Can it fit in Subaru Forester?
I don't have exact specs, but it fits in my garage really well, my wife doesn't even notice it. I have a bag for the boat and one with all the accessories and it all fits right around my motor cart. I've never physically been in a Forester but my guess is that it would be more than fine. My friend Graham can fit 2 Scouts in his Honda CRV.
Cooool 🎉
I love the boat ~!
I’ll wait for your yellow tail videos lol
Thanks for sharing about cool boat ~!
Thank you Tony, hopefully the dream of getting one will one day become reality.
I got your message the other day, apologies on not responding but hopefully we can do it next week. I'll connect with you soon!
gotta get the 430 its way better
Oh I agree, hopefully one day!
Where can you fish with this?
Bays, harbors, open ocean, and any lakes that allow it.
How much did you buy the scout for
What kind of motor do u have on it?
Tohatsu 3.5 hp!
What happened to the boat ?
Awsome video Benji, whats the weight limit on that? Do you think two people fit?
The 365 holds 500lbs, the 430 holds 600lbs
Its designed to be able to fit 2 people for sure. I'm gonna find out how comfortable it is this year!
Great video, check out my latest inflatable boat video if you get a chance!
You sell out. You're dead to me now.
LOVE YOU BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
