A dad and his son out on the boat. Is there anything better? The boat looked like it handled real nice. You guys were moving along real good. I like the house. It looks like the ones down here in the keys. Nice video. I do feel bad about the whale though.
Now looking back i probably should have made a short video. I basically just measured the inside and built a box and covered it in carpet then mounted two seats that also met the measurement requirement. It was not that difficult and worth the effort. Thanks for watching Mike.
Have you used the front mount for a trolling motor at all yet? I have a 14ft inflatable and I'm thinking about grabbing this model because it has the front mount already built in..
Thanks for watching and no we have not used the trolling mount. I pretty sure we will never have a need for it but i will say its definitely solid and would work well if you used it.
Thanks for watching and yes we do. I do leave it slightly under pressure and pump it up fully before use. I also remove the motor to help not stress the transom and cover the boat with a heavy canvas tarp. Thanks Mike
Thank you for posting. I'm debating buying the same boat but torn between the fb and hd fishing boat model. I'm curious about the seat modification for your boy. How did you make or buy it. Didn't see you had a video on it.

@@nigelnorwood7365 No the box is just sitting on the floor, the box is just slightly bigger than the inside with which allows the tubes to hold it once inflated.
@@gmiller9595 thank you didn't consider the hull... just wish the fb was as wide with same number of chambers... guess with the extra protection underneath they figure you don't need it. But I'll Mainly use on lakes so thanks for your clarification
I have a 13’ saturn boat can you suggest a trailer. I use a boat ramp but it takes me about an hour to set up looking for a trailer that will fit this kind of boat
First off thank you for watching, yes the Harbor Fright folding trailer works perfect. You can do a few modifications if you want but do not really need to. Hopefully by the end of this month i will have a video out about the trailer and how i modified it.Thanks again for watching Mike.
I got the SD385. I used to take it down like you do. My seats on a CE smith multi sport trailer. Boat transom ends right at the rear cross channel so I can support it unless you take the motor off every time. Learned my lesson without supporting the transom with motor on, glue came apart from wood than leaked in less than a year (warranty not cover). Also Saturn never prime/seal the wooden transom where is glued. I ended up had to remove the whole thing than dry, sand, clamp & glue. I hope this helps.
Great video! What flooring do you have on your Saturn? Is that the manufactures aluminum flooring it came with? If not, can you inform me on it? Looks great!
It is a bit heavy for sure but i think in our case using it in the Sea of Cortez it was the right choice for us. We will be taking it down when we travel down the Baja Coast. Thanks for watching Mike.
I love seeing videos like this. Out with your boy on the boat!.. nice video
Well done fellas.

Thank you and he is our third child and definitely the most adventurous and loves to do things with me, Thanks for watching Mike.
Nice father and son day always the best. Just wandering how you did the seats there

How easy was it to install wheels ? Any tips you can share ?
Sorry for the late response, it is pretty straight forward just make sure the wheels are low enough and use sealant.
looks nice where did you get the seats for the boat?
DeckMate compact folding fishing seats on Amazon. And thanks for watching, Mike

what motor do you have mounted? Thank s in advance
18hp 4 stroke nissan
Do you leave the boat inflated all the time?
Thanks for watching and yes we do. I do leave it slightly under pressure and pump it up fully before use. I also remove the motor to help not stress the transom and cover the boat with a heavy canvas tarp. Thanks Mike

Do you have to mount the box to the floor& if not does it slide?
@@nigelnorwood7365 No the box is just sitting on the floor, the box is just slightly bigger than the inside with which allows the tubes to hold it once inflated.
@@nigelnorwood7365 the FB is better suited for lakes and rivers. HD has a deeper v hull which is best for saltwater
@@gmiller9595 thank you didn't consider the hull... just wish the fb was as wide with same number of chambers... guess with the extra protection underneath they figure you don't need it. But I'll Mainly use on lakes so thanks for your clarification
what's the cost of home like yours there? you like the location?
Sorry i missed your comment and thanks for watching, our house build from ground up including the land cost us about $85,000.
Yes we love San Felipe!

Sorry for the late response i must have3 missed your reply, great info thanks Mike.
That looks like 20ft boat on thumbnail:) Is it difficult to launch? I assume its pretty heavy since its heavy duty boat
Thanks for watching and yes its definitely heavy!
I am desperate to get one of these in the uk from america.
Any idea how I can do this
First off thanks for watching and I would contact Saturn Boats direct to even see if thats something they would do.
@@arcosdebaja4316 yes already done that.
They don't ship to uk.thanks for reply anyway
I can't believe you drove that nice Polaris into the saltwater. Your boat has transom wheels. Was the sand too soft to use them?
Thank you for watching and check out the video coming out next week where i have a solution for this.
Great video! What flooring do you have on your Saturn? Is that the manufactures aluminum flooring it came with? If not, can you inform me on it? Looks great!
Yes it is the flooring that came with the Boat but I just put that foam decking on top. Thanks for watching Mike.
I’m glad I got the 12ft. I think that would be too big for me. I take mine down and store it when not in use.
It is a bit heavy for sure but i think in our case using it in the Sea of Cortez it was the right choice for us. We will be taking it down when we travel down the Baja Coast. Thanks for watching Mike.
those are the worst wheels available!
Is that all you have to say about this video?! You must be single.
What's heavier 14 ft panga or your plastic boat?
Thanks for watching, and a Panga hands down is much heaver. Mike
