Thanks for your insights..

Most inflatables have duckbill self bailers, if you fit one make sure its at least 2", the 1" will take forever to drain. I've been swamped once with heavy load, water just flows over transom, biggest worry is wave drowning motor as power head is just above water. If boat had better self bailers probably wouldn't haven't got swamped. I've owned inflatables and current RIB(ridge hull Inflatable boat) for 35yrs. Being able to deflate to transport or store an inflatable is only plus in every other regards RIBs are far better boats. RIBs ( glass or alloy hull) can use standard boat trailer with rollers, they need lot less water to launch and retrieve. Contact/ wear points are all against hard hull, tow eyelet is also attach to hull not fabric that will tear with high use. Having ridge hulls with deeper V means makes for softer ride and can result in higher top end speed. Once you start leaving inflatable on trailer maintenance problems begin. Transporting motor on transom results in lot stress where transom attaches to pontoons. Sand, small stones and bait/fish bits will get trapped under floor and between floorboards and pontoons. If you don't remove floor on regular basis and clean it out, sand and stones will wear fabric, get puncture here and boat is scrap. Inflated pontoons provide boats structure strength, puncture one and you are in for slow ride home in floppy boat. With RIB its just case of transferring weight to inflatable pontoon, been there done that. RIBs tend to have a drier ride especially in beam sea as spray is defected down under pontoons as hull gives more lift. Easy to mod a rigid hull, ie glue or weld extras to it. With either boat keeping them out of sun is best thing you can do to extend life of pontoons. Cover or garage.

I skip the trailer. Roof top transport. Had an inflatable, and put it away for a 12 Ft Alluminum starcraft. Cartoped it for 1000's miles by myself. Twice the space with about the same weight and size. Today 12 Ft poly boats an option

We had an inflatable hot tub that the mice got after so what we did the next year was when we stored the inflatable hot tub we put chlorine tablets in the box of the inflatable hot tub and we had no problem after that.

Wondering what type of motor you use? I am thinking using a electric one, but some told me the electric power is not enough. Thoughts?

Nice educational video. Nice work!

Where did you bye your seat cover?

you did an awesome job my friend!

Nice boat 🚢. I subscribe from Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Do you ever take this in the ocean? Nice boat.

How has it worked out 2 years later?

Hey Phil, great video. I ended up moving my oil tank under the stairway to gain space. Consider, waiting to summer when tank oil level is low and jack up oil tank to shift it to gain 6" of space. It's worth the insulating properly. Great suggestion on tube gun. Did you also do the floor with InSoFast panels? How did that work out? I put electric radiant under my flooring. That was before I knew about InSoFast. Thanks.

Thanks for the great video. What kind of screws did you use for these?

Hello did you have to waterproofing your walls before install the insofast

This was super helpful to see the product and how you're using it in real life. (in case this is helpful feedback: I got a bit motion sick when you were moving the camera around quickly while talking)

Thank you for this video! It's always nice to see someone's honest opinion, not just a paid promotion. 👍🏼

I found that you really need to hold the panels up against the wall until the sealant cures, even on what looks like dead flat walls. I ended up using ladders, 2x4s, and all sorts of leaning things, but it worked! I also had a Milwaukee battery powered sealant gun (bare tool version), which was a great investment! Made the sealant application so easy.

Thank you so much for this video! I am not a experienced person when it comes to construction etc. so I’ve been looking for different alternatives so I can start my man cave! Would love to see finished project

Hello Philip. I am also considering installing this system in my home in Maine.. Did you do any crack filling and repair? I ordered a sample kit. Why did you choose the 2.5 inch panel vs the2.0 inch panel? Would love to connect..

Thank you for an honest review about our product. Also the caulk gun is a great tip, you never go wrong buying better tools. The top of the wall and ordering the right amount of product is always a little confusing. I liked your explanation.

Did you use nails or screws to help hold it to the wall also.

I'd really like to see the finished walls. What was your experience with attaching drywall to the panels if you did?
