That knob you pull out is the choke. Generally you pull it out for the first start of the day and push it in once the boat is a bit warmed up or starts to sputter, then you push it in and don't need it for further starts that day. Love the new boat for fun. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more!
Permanent marker and a skilled hand does a great job. The markers used to label livestock tags is the longest lasting but most any permanent marker will work.
Nice video! So good to see you wearing the kill switch leash. That saved my life when I was thrown out in the surf. Dealer made me promise to always use it as he had a customer killed when he was thrown out and the boat circled back and ran him down. A friend was thrown out of his sailboat dinghy. Boat circled back and ran him down. He survived but with severe injuries. Folks need to be made more aware of this. Inflatables have a trampoline effect when hitting a wave or wake.
For some reason YT stopped sending me notifications of new videos.I am glad I checked back to the channel.I had to go back 3 months worth of content to get up to date.
I have one of these and Love It! Very stable super easy to board from front stows and folds easy. High quality components. Extremely rugged material! I use as a tender for my sailboat, adventure boat for river running swim and dive platform.
All round great set up , the boat couldn't be simpler to put together, as for that lil Merc,what a score perfect for that hull, ran like a trooper, as for weight in the front time to give mum a break and take the lil man with, he can't learn if he's not with ya.
@@rokkitkit best thing you can do for sure, I'm in my mind sixties now ,my son 30, I don't want for fish at all, when he was 12 I got him a castnet, I don't pay for bait or prawns either. Last note, he as a child shared more of his problems with me in that tinny ,than he ever did at the kitchen table, keep Emm close..
Hey rod with these motors you can get an extension screwed on and you can sit at the front and work the throttle forward and revers from up there, well worth it solo fishing to keep the nose down 🤟🏽
That looks perfect for me. I have been after something like a zapcat for ages. Just need to sell some bits and get my order in ready for next summer. I see they ship to the UK so fingers crossed I get everything sorted. What a weapon !
So I believe you can adjust the tilt of the motor to help with the nose rising too much and not coming into plane. There are also "blades" you can attach to the motor. I know you’ll load her up and it’ll probably stop, but if you like to go for a run for an evening, you shouldn’t have to throw a lot of weight on it.
I’ve used cast vinyl with a heat gun to get letters to stick to inflatable boats. Takes much longer to apply than normal stickers but it doesn’t bludge the surface.
Great new addition even if it is temporary. To get your maximum speed you should go both directions. Do a 180° turn on the second run and then average the two runs 🤙🏼
Sure if the trim is adjusted out slightly it will keep the nose down. Had the 2000 model, Grey, that was on a 3m and it was fantastic even with 2 ppl on the boat. Just took a little adjusting to get it to run at the right angle, and got better speed too. Also the petrol usage was brilliant. 25l would last a week of freshwater fishing . Can't wait for your next upload.
Well done ROKKiT, another plan comes together. One thing I’ve learnt about you is if you can’t do it. No one can. Good luck on yr upcoming adventures, I’m sure they’ll be amazing, and extraordinary.
Hey bro. I am astonished by the negative comments. If u don’t like the channel or boat then move on and keep ya mouth shut. These boats are awesome for what they are designed to do. I’ve been researching fold away boats for my travels. I spear fish and freedive hard out with my son and our mates. Being able to throw this on the hilux roof racks or small trailer or put in the boot of a hatchback is a win in my opinion. I was sold on a Takacat but after watching your videos I think I’m gonna order a 4000 with a 20hp two stroke. I like the closed Ali transom. Won’t loose a bootie or fin out the back. The rail blazers are a win. Solid handles. And the nose seems to scoop higher than the Taka which looks safer and dryer. This is why we love RUclips. Cause someone has done a review on everything u wanna buy. Thank u bro. You’re a champ. As for all u haters out there. We’ll get a life. Go fishing. Have some fun. Stop trolling.
Yea!!! Buddy the second hand merc looks sweet! Red looks too good. Im on lake erie and buddy i might need one. Thank you for always sharing the cool stuff
I love your channel the solo island camping and fishing to bad I don’t have islands like you do can’t wait to see your new boat and what new adventurous content your will create
Once I hit something submerged & the whole outboard motor did a summersault & landed in the boat (at full speed) ever since then I keep a shortish chain from the motor to the Transom! Usually they sink if you hit something!!
I didn't really think about it but it is gonna be nice seeing this pop of colour when you go out to the islands for a bit, opposed to the usual neutral coloured boats you had.
@@rokkitkit you should paint a school of little bait fishes on the boat bottom. Nobody would notice but still wonder how the heck you seem to be attracting so many fish. Fish psychology, see. 😜
That would be perfect for me just to race out for a feed, I live around 4 minute walk to boat ramp. Save setting up the adventure Islander. Can't wait to see it with fish coming aboard.
I really want a set up like that for bouncing around here in the Florida Keys. Cheers man. Can't wait to see what you have on order. Would love to see you in a Contender 28T or something similar.
Hey mate not sure if your still running this but that mercury outboard on a cold start pull that primer and push it in 3 times then pull to the first click to start, adjust the idle by turning that same primer knob 🤙
Nice little boat, been thinking about cat raised a little higher and 4mt and longer wheel mounts. Try better weight distribution by moving the gas can and beer cooler under the seat and securing so they do 😂 not slid back and put a cheap plastic storage box with life vests and safety items plus rain gear and hand held VHF.
Can't wait to see the new boat, but the 'Pocket Rocket' seems like a reliable in between. Look at you sporting that snazzy red color! Cheers mate! Always love your content, hope the sciatica continues to get better. I know the feeling all too well, it's miserable.
Hey Rod. Love the content. Always look forward to your videos. When is the next video of the sailboat coming out? Looking forward to seeing the progress on the boat, and how are improving as a sailor.
Hi there, that is a very nice boat engine combo, I also have a 3.3 meters inflatable boat and I use it with a Suzuki 2 strokes 15 hp and it gives me max speed 38.5 K/H , I'm 110 kilos heavy, so yeah same!!! I also have a Nifty boat with a Mercury 2 strokes 5hp , those are nice as well for lakes, rivers or just not to rough ocean, is like kayak with engine, love them!, Anyway I love watching your videos Mate!!! I keep waiting for more videos coming, cheers
No way! I was anchored right where you where in Bum's Bay for a fortnight, then hid off Wavebreak for when that southerly came through. Spent the weekend up at Slipping Sands. Would have only just missed you. I'm on a 31ft sailboat called Duet if you see me around, currently slipping up at Coomera. Would be more than happy to take you for a few lessons.
nice shots of your foot and the floor! 2. Don't bring any sharps on your boat. (that Anchor) especially if you're going to throw it at the boat. DONT DO THAT! LOL I have experience throwing a gaff HOOK on my inflatable and the patch to prove it. 🙂 Do both MPH and KPH thank you. Nice boat and your'e going to have a blast! Thanks for the video!
Funny! I had the same motor on my truekit! I had my transom blow out bc it was to heavy and mixed with the rough seas on the windward side in Hawaii was a dangerous combo I figured. Had a great run with it though!
Was that the old wooden transom? Maybe had a water ingress issue.. I had an 18hp in the 4m version and that had the new aluminum transom plus all the bouncing on the trailer and it didn’t show any signs of blow out so should be fine with the lighter 15👍
Pocket Rocket looks cool. Idea, where that sticker says True Kit, change True to RoKKiT. Viola your own branded Pocket Rocket. And its red, gotta be fast
I love your videos. You're living the dream. I just bout a red TrueKit 330 2 days ago mainly because of your videos. What's that orange anchor at the end?
Hi Rod I purchased. The exact boat and Color from true kit unfortunately haven’t been able to use it due to a back injury I also purchased new motor and all the gear great little boat l had to advertise it in FB great buy
Regarding your back: Years ago I ruptured a lumbar disk at L5 and I believe then culprit was pounding on big waves in a small boat. Daily we had to run the rescue boat at a kite surf school in Fremantle/ Perth from the teaching area back to the marina. I had one day of pain , then went kite surfing and by the end of the session partially lost the feeling in my rt leg and foot. I still have that numbness in the leg and foot. Please be careful and best wishes, love all your videos and adventures!!
I have the same boat same colour 9.9 2 stroke Tohatsu as a tender. We are in Mariners Cove Southport. Saw u go by the other day. I should have chased u and formed a convoy.🙂
Love the colour of that true kit discovery 👌🏻 was going to get one ages ago but couldn't warrant the cost of shipping to the UK 🇬🇧 abit gutted but I still might get one one day I have a hydrus lll 3.3m ibf sib from inflatable boat fishing 🎣 based in yhe UK 🇬🇧 but still thinking of purchasing a true kit discovery one day lol great video really love your videos fella 😎👍🏻🎣🌊🐟🏕🇬🇧
Nice little boat. I wonder if you put fins on the motor if it'll plain out better with the bow down? Looks like you had the motor down as far as you can go. That'll be a great dingy anyway, enjoy!
You should take a look at the "dimaree inflatable boats" or "dib" rescue sled... Top of the line boats, vulcanized rubber will be able to pass it on to your grandkids...

The subtle flex of take your boat over to your boat to get something while you're patiently waiting for your boat to come in
Hahaha!
Yep. I loved it.
This is what life is about
more is more💪🏽😂
That's the life of a boat captain... haha

Holly molly!!!😳 what a flash lookn bit of kit!! Nice replacement mate ! Hope the kids enjoy.
Mate I can’t wait for the bigger boat to arrive so pumped for the new adventures to come!
Your house looks great. The area you live in reminds me of Florida. Like the new boat too.
The gear change on the tiller arm is great I’m a big fan of that design
Those wheels are the bomb! So easy to install, no hardware whatsoever! Amazing!
Do you know what those wheels are called or where they are sold?
easy to steal as well !
Nice video! So good to see you wearing the kill switch leash. That saved my life when I was thrown out in the surf.

i know the boat is inflatable etc etc but im still in awe that a boat of that kinda size can fit and be sent in a box that size

Super clean lettering application on a very pretty new boat!
Pretty sure all the small Merc's below 30HP are Tohatsu's , which is not a bad thing at all . Congrats on the new ride.
All the japanese ones are afaik but the us made ones with the gears on the tiller are were all made by mercury and are different motors.
@@dylanwilliams3807they are still Tohatsu’s, just with Mercury’s controls
@@lombastoif they are maybe putting the mercury stickers on them makes them a lot quieter 😂😂
Hell. Ya. Lovin the boat mate and the red is so attractive that you won't even need a rod, the fish will just come to you on their own!
Gorgeous and speedy little thing. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Love your vids mate.
That looks perfect for me. I have been after something like a zapcat for ages. Just need to sell some bits and get my order in ready for next summer. I see they ship to the UK so fingers crossed I get everything sorted. What a weapon !

I like this new boat but I miss the old one already! I am so happy for you Rod. I can't think of anyone more deserving my friend. XOXOX
As always, love the vid Rod. Can't wait to see the next boat! Stay safe out there brother!
I’ve used cast vinyl with a heat gun to get letters to stick to inflatable boats. Takes much longer to apply than normal stickers but it doesn’t bludge the surface.
Beautiful boat and motor so happy for you and us as your subscribers. You're going to catch a lot of fish on it.
Not boring mate your just getting prepared to send it to some islands can't wait!
Great new addition even if it is temporary. To get your maximum speed you should go both directions. Do a 180° turn on the second run and then average the two runs 🤙🏼
The thrusters caught my eye. Let's see that video!!!

Those Merc's are great. I think you will love it
I agree, kid totally got it!
Always get excited when I see you post a video. Thank you as always!
I thought you were putting together an RC boat I was surprised when you pulled a full sized boat out of the box :)
This boat is perfect, I need this exact set up.
I love your channel the solo island camping and fishing to bad I don’t have islands like you do can’t wait to see your new boat and what new adventurous content your will create

The "in-between" boat looks absolutely awesome mate.
Bright shiny color, that boat. Fish will see ya coming a mile away. No stealth here. 😃
Haha, but it’s all black on the bottom 😊👍
@@rokkitkit you should paint a school of little bait fishes on the boat bottom. Nobody would notice but still wonder how the heck you seem to be attracting so many fish. Fish psychology, see. 😜

Haha, I think the Contender might be a little more then I can swing😅 but what’s coming is pretty awesome too👍
Sweet rig! Just as I was thinking a Permatrim would help you keep the bow down (especially at moderate speeds), you said the same thing. lol
Loving the new boat.
What's with the pop in picture at 02:47 of the guy in gold clapping his hands 🤣
Bro, get a tiller extension and drive standing up! I did and it is better than a jet ski! Don't forget the lanyard!!
It's insane how easy it was to put together!
Hey mate not sure if your still running this but that mercury outboard on a cold start pull that primer and push it in 3 times then pull to the first click to start, adjust the idle by turning that same primer knob 🤙
Waiting on my boat as well! Won't be anytime soon though sadly. Grats on the new boat and the incoming one.
