mercury inflatables
anyone have experience with them. wife just bought me one on sale at the boat show
thanks |
How big?
|
the 340, 10' 6"
|
I would put a 9.9HP and call it a day! That is a very nice inflatable rig!
Would be perfect for fishing! |
i got a 55 lbs thrust electric that will be powering it for now
|
I have an inflatable and also the 55lb minnkota.... works perfect! I recommend 2 battarrys in serial! 3 days worth of life!
|
cool thanks for the advice, what size and make is your inflatable?

anyone have experience with these boats?

My seaman 320 (10.5ft) just came in yesterday.:sHa_shakeshout: I watched many video oN YouTube. Looks like a 30lb trolling motor will do really great job as well.
Now I am thinking to install a rod holder... How and where to install it? |
yeah im pretty pumped for mine, 55 lbs used to push my aluminum 14 ft boat which was pretty heavy due to a live well and carpetted floors and what not so im thinking i should get some good zip with this. planning on taking er on the nsr for some sturgeon
|
seems noone has experience with these boats tho, gonna have to do a review after i get some use in
|
On my intex mariner 4 I have the 30lb minn kota and it works perfectly
|
noone has experience with mercury inflatables though??

I have tooken my boat down the bow yes! also had the trolling motor on... but never used it unless I wanted to get to shore... this of coarse was out side city limits!
|
brohymn2: those transom wheels are gigantic. Is your boat 11ft?
I've ordered a 9ft inflatable from salter which should be here first thing next week. I didn't get transom wheels but hoping to get a buddy to custom build me a pair of them for cheap. |

i am getting an inflatable soon as well. would you mind telling me where you got the wheels & how much.?? you can p.m. if you like appreciate it. thanks orv. |
boat is 10.5 feet, ya i thought the wheels were smaller and had a bit of a shock when i picked it up this morning
|
congrats! You installed the wheel by yourself or the seller did? Looks like the seller installed for you.
Now I am thinking to install some rod holder on the inflatable. But still haven't got any good idea yet. Let me know your idea when possible. Billie showed me his idea. But looks a little too heavy rig for me.... |
what was his idea? the guy at the dealership told me he has guys glueing rod holders to the tubes with pvc glue, was thinking bout doing that with the fish finder transducer so i didnt have to drill into the transom
|
the dealer installed it
|
My inflatable is the same size and I have the exact same wheels...you will love them. Very handy.
|
ya i cant wait for the open water season
