I just bought the same boat from Costco and it looks exactly like that one only it come with a drop-strich inflatable floor. I would have rather had the aluminum floor like yours.
They dropped the production of aluminum floor the year after I bought it. But I have a friend that has this inflatable floor and theyvare happy. But I do understand, I think it is better with hard floor.
Hiya there, I’ve only just discovered this model of boat over here in the UK. Would you please tell me if your long term experience with the boat. Did it stay together? Does the quality of manufacturing feel good and have you had any issues with the boat. Thanks in advance. 🍻👍🏻
@@Outdoor_WandererOk cool, thank you for your speedy reply my friend. The boats I’m looking at are all quite similar in design. Aluminium deck would be my preference. Take care and stay safe. 🍻👍🏻👊🏻🎣
If you are referring to the minkota trolling motor it had reverse and forward. Check my other fishing videos and you can see the fishing setup and also you can see the boat on the water but with the 5.5 engine.
I just got this and built it up. Not sure about the bench seats, they have a couple notches in the plastic part that attaches to the seatbelt material on the bladders - do you have any idea what these notches are for??
How long does it take you to do the setup, now that you've had it for awhile? Nvm.. seen your other video, you have a trailer meaning you never deflate it..
I keep it inflated even during the winter and stored up in the garage and just lower the pressure. During the summer stays on the trailer. It is more complicated if you need to put back the floor. Inflation is fast.
I sold mine but the year after I bought mine they dropped the hard bottom. I have a friend that bought one like you and he is happy. That hard bottom is in high demand and I sold mine over what I paid.
Yes, now I got a 9.9. Is good, electric start from the battery, gas tank on the floor next to it. More power to push the boat with 3 people. I should make an update on the boat.
Hi, what shaft length of trolling motor should I buy? here's what I have in mind: Newport Vessel NV Series 55Lb Thrust . A 30 Inch Shaft. Will this work for this boat?
Where did you buy the motor for the boat and what kind is suitable for us, 2 adult and 2 kids. We will used it most weekend just for a ride on lakes. Is it legal to use motor boats on most lakes? Im from Alberta. Thanks
The motor I had it but the 25 one will push slow. Since then I got a 45 one from kijiji and is better. I think a Minolta 55 will do good. Last year at the end I got a gas Johnson 9.9 but that one is heavier and harder to transport. Some lakes are posted with no gas motors signs but electric should be fine.
It is a pretty good setup. It is in 3rd season and holding up like new. Now I have a Johnson 9.9 on it and it is good. I would say 3 people for fishing is a little crowded. But for regular boating 3 is fine. And this not from the safety point but from the space point.
I have a 24 group battery from Costco and 45lbs trust motor. Now more the battery the better but I get more than 4 hours on mine. The motor is not going to be much faster from 30 lbs to 45 lbs but depends on how much you are carrying in your boat. Bigger load, more lbs trust will move you easier. But I ended up buying a gas motor to get faster where I want to go.
There is a really good review of this boat by someone who has used it at sea. Apparently, quote "The Tobin Sports inflatable or Mirovia pro is well designed and well made bit of class C boat. Not D but class C so it’s designed and manufactured to a to deal with harsher water conditions. It is also legally certified to US coast guard standards, not just a CE stamp. Category C - Inshore: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2m may be experienced.

Hi, I am new in this world. I want to have this fun in these coming days . I saw then in Costco want to buy one soon. My question is where can use them ? If I take them any special locations like windermere etc, do I need to have any licence for it? Is there any fee to use them anywhere? I am totally new , please guide me . Thanks a lot Shaz
You can use it anywhere you can put the boat in the water. Just make sure about the weather. Boat is very stable but rough waves is not that fun. I use it on any local lake in Ontario. I put a 9.9 hp motor and fish finder.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer thanks Marius. But do we need any kind of permission or licence for it? I am looking forward to go to windermere lakes also plz let me know where to buy life jackets and which ones are best.
No license for the boat as long as you don't use a motor of 10hp or higher. But you need a operator license. It is around 40$ and you need to pass a test online. That is for Canada.
While it might handle it, longevity will suffer I suspect. That transom is glued to the tubes and not attached to the floor. It might just end up ripping apart at some point under full throttle.
It is coming back in August. Check Costco Canada website for this item. It is very popular because of price quality. Same boat you can pay more than 1000$ same quality.
Just bought a similar boat. Thanks for your videos on this stuff.
Thank you very much for sharing the video. Bought one from COSTCO and very excited to have the first try soon
Thank you for watching.
thanks very much for making this tutorial☺ just bought one of these, and assembly will go easy having watched this👍
You are welcome.

Are they the same size? Can we buy aluminum floor separately?

Excellent boat all around. If you have the 3 piece alum bottom even better. Put a 10hp motor in it and it is good.

Q: With the troller, do you set FWD to take you in reverse? Or you just turn it in reverse? Like to see this on the water, specifically for fishing.
If you are referring to the minkota trolling motor it had reverse and forward. Check my other fishing videos and you can see the fishing setup and also you can see the boat on the water but with the 5.5 engine.

I will have to check mine. I didn't see those yet.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer got it thanks..
Awesome video I just acquired the same dinghy that you have but it doesn’t have the aluminum bottom like in your video do you still have it?
I sold mine but the year after I bought mine they dropped the hard bottom. I have a friend that bought one like you and he is happy. That hard bottom is in high demand and I sold mine over what I paid.
You have a 9.9 Johnson gas outboard in it? How is it? Where do you put the gas can/tank? Just on the floor beside your feet? Thanks!
Yes, now I got a 9.9. Is good, electric start from the battery, gas tank on the floor next to it. More power to push the boat with 3 people. I should make an update on the boat.
Hi, what shaft length of trolling motor should I buy? here's what I have in mind: Newport Vessel NV Series 55Lb Thrust . A 30 Inch Shaft. Will this work for this boat?
30 inch might be a little too short. Mine is 36. But I am not sure.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer thanks!
Hi there i'd prob buy one for fishing purpose too.. but i'd like to know how is the boat for you after 2 years?
Sold the boat and bought a 17ft one. For the 2 years that I had it it was great. I also had a 9.9hp Johnson on it.
Thank you for the setup tutorial. Do you suggest buying this boat? How is the quality?
We had 5 fishing trips already and the boat is really good, I am very happy with it. For the price, 699 it is amazing and I do recommend it.
It is really helpful. Thanks!

Hi , how do u like that zodiac , how much person can u sit to be safe . And how good is the material??

@@Outdoor_Wanderer put two guys with some gear its good ?
Hi Marius, what is your recommendation for the battery size & model? Same for the electrical motor?. Thank you!
I have a 24 group battery from Costco and 45lbs trust motor. Now more the battery the better but I get more than 4 hours on mine. The motor is not going to be much faster from 30 lbs to 45 lbs but depends on how much you are carrying in your boat. Bigger load, more lbs trust will move you easier.

Any idea of the material thickness in mils?
You can tell me how to put the baterry to the air pump for the display?
Unscrew the top, next to the screen and then insert 2 batteries.
Please, could you inform the dimensios of the bag? Do you think It is sturdy enough to be checked in a flight? Thank you.
The bag is sturdy but the boat is heavy. It weights 136 lbs. Dimensions I think it will be close to the box dimensions.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer Thank you.

You mean the electric one? No adaptor, just inflate for a while and top off with the supplied pump.
where can I find the serial number for boat registration?
On the plate on the transom.
Hi all. Do you know if the canvas thickness is it 1.2 mm thick or 0.9 mm thick?
Sorry I have no idea.
Does it have a label for ISO 6185 certification
I don't know, sorry.

Well
Hard bottom this boat can handle 20HP!
Up to 15hp says in the manual.
While it might handle it, longevity will suffer I suspect. That transom is glued to the tubes and not attached to the floor. It might just end up ripping apart at some point under full throttle.
Do you know how wide from side to side?
In the manual that comes with the boat is says 1.6m wide. That is 5.2 ft.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer thank you
Is it bonnet ready
Always wondered what you meant.
please may you tell me the dimensions of the box
Sorry but I don't have the box anymore.
where did you purchase it? why I can not see the boat in my local costco?
It is coming back in August. Check Costco Canada website for this item. It is very popular because of price quality. Same boat you can pay more than 1000$ same quality.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer May I ask how much is it on Costco website?
@@felixhoo7961 699 CAD.
I see these boats and no one wants to seem to tell how long they are I don't understand does anyone know how long they are 😎
10.1ft.
Hi Marius. What pressure is the Inflating Keel supposed to be?
3.5 the same as the other sections.
@@Outdoor_Wanderer Thanks Marius. Is the Inflating Floor the same pressure, as the manual is unclear.
I made it the same.
me and my friend bought it month ago，and the order has been canceled，sigh……
Big demand for this boat because of price - quality.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🚣🚣🎣🎣
I sold it in the end with more than I got it for. Now I have a bigger 17ft bowrider.
What size motor Short or Long shaft ?
Long shaft.
You don't need the manual what kind of man are you 😎😁🤣
I learned my lesson so many times.
