I respect all youtubers who do reviews especially on not so mainstream popular items. This is a real global community service. Thank you for helping boaters out there.
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you watching!!!
Your boat is a beast! I should’ve gotten that one as well but I went with the smaller BRIS 12.5’ Fish Hunter. They look identical. If it wasn’t for your video it would’ve taken me forever to put it together as their instructions are horrible. So thank you so much for taking the time 😎
This vid should have more views. The author is articulate and does good editing. Bob
Thank you so much for watching the video! I cannot express how humbled I am to see your comment and extremely appreciative thank you very much!
Mi Agee I bleave if he lifted the boat up amd showed the bottom of the keel and how it’s had a thick layer on the bottom of it as alot of us wjamt also to see the bott of the boat to the keel Al l that everything else was explain great tho
Looks good, I definitely need one of those. Cheaper than a boat and easier to transport. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I finally finished everything with my new Saturn 14’ inflatable. It’s very similar to a Briss with a few differences. Can’t wait to take it out and do a video!
Thank you for watching. Congratulations on your boat you in for tons of fun. Send me a link when you do a video I would love to see it!!!
Love the boat. But with all the renters on our local lakes, it would need to be neon orange to prevent being run down within the first 10 mins.
Thanks for take some of your time and make this demonstrate how easy is and reliable !! Thanks to you I'm clear all my doubts am really ready for buy one ! Thanks
Nicely done. My next boat for the family. Thanks.
Rxonmymind Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video and awesome boat. Im looking to get one myself but still a beginner with all of this.
Thank you for watching! Inflatable boats are extremely fun I would just have to say with my honest opinion I would suggest you go with a different brand which many of them are the same cost but you will receive a better product. I hope you enjoy your new journey and adventure!
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 which brands would you recommend? How long did this boat last you and did you have significant issues?
Australia here - I have the 3.8. 2 years old, been awesome so far, no issues, using merc 25 2 stroke.
Matt how would a 4.7 go on a calm day on open ocean? Only talking about 500-800m from shore.
That size should go to bamhas big portal gas tank😅
Thanks for this video bro, just got the same exact boat, this helped alot for my first assembly. Peace!
Jim Wilson thank you for watching. Have tons of fun!!!
Would love for you to do a video of the take down and how you folded it up!
Hopefully I can get one done soon but I do beI have a video of my Kayak boat with video of it being folded up small but same concept.
Thank you!
Excellent review. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for this video its helping make a decision on getting one of these or a aluminum jon boat

I am thinking about buying the 15.4 Bris. I’ve been looking at your videos. Do you still like that boat and has it been holding up for you? All I’m going to use it for is on the lakes for now. Any suggestions for me? Thanks
Incredibly helpful.
Great video my friend thank you
Nice video 🙂
With an 50 HP motor it should be possible to do some waterskiing or wakeboard?
Ive heard that black fabric is cool as ice on a sunny day. :)
I met a gentleman in the summer with a all black inflatable and from the touch of hand it was no hotter then my gray inflatable. Only real concern that comes in during the summer months are the bench seats and that's an easy fix with bench seat cushions/covers.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 well your own opinion on the matter might be more reliable. Lol. Cheers. I enjoy your vids. Good work
You got some cool videos yourself I just checked out your page I like your rigs!!
Don’t trust those one way drain valves , put the bung in unless draining
Thanks for sharing, very helpful! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Not gonna lie I always thought you put these together once, and then leave it put together forever unless something went wrong. I’ve always seen them decked out and left on a trailer with a cover.
That’s what I eventually did but I was limited on space at my last home.
czcams.com/video/dpByVH5xYoQ/video.html
If you're gonna put these together everytime you go on water, 270cm/9feet & 6hp is the upper limit for portability.
Above that size, you end up either selling the boat or buying a trailer.
thank you - great review !
Excellent video! thk u!.
Great video! What do you think about putting a 50hp yamaha 20" shaft outboard on it? asking for a friend.
Master 50 hp. With jet outbard
Did it come with those black covers to hold the boat and parts?
Nice Bro.. keep up these informative videos..
Thank you Bro!!
Thank you! I've had this thing in my shopping cart for over 2 years. I have a wakeboarding boat but I live in the San Francisco bay area and my wakeboarding boat isn's as stable as my friends 11' west marine inflatable when we go fishing on the bay. Did you end up doing all the add-ons you mentioned?
Yes if you look through my videos I have a video of the modifications made. Thanks for watching!
how much trouble do you think is is unpacking and packing for each use, I currently dont have a location to keep a boat inflated so I was going to go the inflatable route but I wonder if one this big makes it much harder for the unpack/pack cycle. It just seems so aluring to have all the extra space to move around with a couple of people on the boat
It is an absolute nightmare to be honest. Thats why I ended up putting it on a trailer. The weight and odd shape makes it very hard to maneuver, even with wheels and two people. The extra room is great but at a huge sacrifice. I would not purchase one this large unless I was trailering it. Thanks for watching!!!
If you are planning to pack&unpack for each use, never go beyond 270 or 300cm , and definitely buy an airdeck model if you are not fishing. Your 6hp will push a 270 airdeck with 2 people at 20kmph /13mph unless you are both heavyweight.
I have a 14 foot stryker with a 25 hp four stroke and assemble and disassemble it every time by myself. It's not a big deal at all. You get the hang of it and it's simple.
Great video, by the way!
Another question,
Do you take your inflatable boat out in the ocean?
How would you maintain the boat and motor from corrosion form the salt water?
I'd like to start taking mine out for some ocean fishing.
Thank you for watching the video! Sorry I overlooked this car bit you can definitely take it to the ocean just make sure you wash and rinse it properly after every use. I personally do not take mine to the ocean but have seen several people do it.
I have a 6hp Mercury outboard, do you think it could push this around ok? As a side note I see your newer videos show a smaller boat, did you downsize or get another boat and if so why?
Thank you for watching the video. A 6 hp motor might get you 5 to 6 mph in this size boat more of a trolling speed. A 10 hp motor can move this boat but it is going to be somewhat slow the minimum I would put on here is a 15 and preferably a 20. I ended up getting rid of all my inflatable boats at one point I was concentrating more on my JetSki‘s but when I decided to get back in the game I definitely wanted to go with something light weight. Also I was looking for something economical as all of these other companies have drastically increased their prices. The majority of these boats are pretty much made very similar to each other so I cannot see the justification for almost double the price for certain boats.
Great video ! Very knowledgeable on how to build it , I am looking at buying a 14,6 foot would a 15 hp 4 stroke Yamaha be enough power ?
Thank you for watching. Yes a 15 hp four stroke would be sufficient for that size rig. You might feel a little under powered depending on how fast do you want to go so I would suggest at least a 20 hp so you don’t have to upgrade later.

Good video. . Thanks! I'm awaiting shipment of my 15.4 and I need to know the dimension from the the transom back to the tips of the cones . . . I need this to know how long to extend the trailer tongue and still fit inside my garage. . . . Thanks for helping if you will!
Luke Wood
Thank you for watching the video. Unfortunately I no longer have the boat so I would not be able to give you correct dimensions. I have another video with the modifications I made on a standard harbor freight trailer that might help you out a bit. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your inflatable boat they are extremely fun!
Do you happen to have any Stake Bracket from a Harbor Freight trailer you don't have a need for? I notice you did not use them with your Bris Build video . . . HF sells them for $1.50 each but back ordered, etc... Let me know if you can help me out to finish my trailer . . .
Hey man love the video question for you I'm looking at a jet propulsion engine I have shallow rivers where I live and was wondering if a 20" long shaft work?
You would probably have to use a jack plate.
I am thinking to purchase the exact same boat. Can you tell me how is it holding so far? Any issues or regrets?
Holding up great and I would consider it my second favorite inflatable boat.
Thank you for your video, lots of information I was looking for before I purchased this boat. I have one question, how long did it take to deflated the boat?
Ouraphet Thanavadee it takes about 5 mins to deflate and roll up the boat. What brand are you going to buy?
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 thank you! I like the black bsa470, I was also lining towards the Saturn sd470 but probably going to buy the bris.
Ouraphet Thanavadee I would definitely go with the Saturn in my honest opinion. I have owned both Saturn and Bris and feel Saturn is better quality and craftsmanship. As many have complained the shape of the Bris 15 ft is cut uneven which makes for an uneven floor and the floorboards have already severely started to fall apart. Last the bag has ripped to shreds. Now the Bris 10ft and Bris Catamaran have held up fine but the 15ft to be honest has been a disappointment. Don’t get me wrong it has its pluses but for the price tag, I couldn’t in good conscious recommend this particular model.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 wow thank you very much for the update on your bris again, I will give it a 2nd thought.
Appreciate the honest review. I just purchased a Saturn Heavy duty model myself, and waiting on delivery.
Just came across your video, had a couple of questions for you.
When storing your boat, do you keep it inflated or will you deflate it?
I ask because I have an older Avon 8ft inflatable that I recently took out of my storage unit. Been checking it for leaks, it has 2 chambers, cant seem to find any leaks, however within a few hours, the smaller chamber seems to deflate.
At my last house, I kept the boat fully inflated, hoisted and covered to the side of my garage where the sun wouldn't hit it, still the boat would eventually deflate.
Is it common for an inflatable boat to lose air after a while?
It’s always best to keep them inflated partially which will help reduce having any leaks. But I do roll my boats up when I have to store them for long periods of time. Sorry it took so long for such a response.
I ended upgrading my 8ft Avon to a 12.5ft Bris.. Its been great..
With that aluminum floor, do you have to worry about puncturing the boat?
Thank you for watching the video. No you will have no worries whatsoever about the aluminum floor puncturing the boat.
Did it come with paper work to register it ?
How much did this boat cost you?
Before all the chaos they were $1600
Hi!! I just got the bris BSA 380, and I just wanted to get your opinion on something. I found that rear end of the keel is not completely connected to transom, about a foot of the keel is not glued or anything..is that something needs to be taken care of?? Or it's ok if just place the floor on top of it .
I can see that there is like a small pocket at the bottom of the transom where it can be fits in..
Any tips would help...Thanks in Advance 🙏
Thank you for watching the video! I am very sorry it has taken me so long to respond the craftsmanship of the boat is not very good I had many repairs that I had to make right out of the box. I would suggest using some type of PVC glue to make sure everything is connected properly and definitely contact the seller. I hope you have already figured out the repair to your problem but if not please feel free to contact me. As I love inflatable boat and would have no problem with helping you out.
How do you still about this boat now having it for couple years
Thank you for watching. I actually ended up selling the boat but the gentleman that has it still has it in use.
Love this boat with a surface drive mud motor for the river i live on. But sadly i can only afford the Bris BSK430
Or mini tug boat
Great video. I bought one and it got delivered the other day. But the floor boards were NOT included! Is that a separate purchase?
If it is a Bris boat the floor comes with the boat. Same with other manufacturers. You should contact them.
wow. you definitely got short-changed. all should absolutely come WITH the floor.
The floor ships in a separate box, not shipped together
Had issue installing my 2022. My floor boards were different then yours. It’s. 15.4 rivets were up. Tried downward but wouldn’t lock. I zoomed into your floor boards totally different maybe upgraded. Not sure
Great video’s. I just got a 15.4. My floor boards and stringers are different too. Can’t seem
To get the side braces in. No room at all to slide them in. I can see they are different in shape than previous versions in videos. Any tips learned with the newer style?
Can you hook a pole arch to these floors without fish ripping them out? Like if I hook into a tuna or sailfish
Thank you for watching. I could be wrong but I don’t think the floor would be strong enough.
Great Review! Thank you! So, going off the one gentleman’s question as for shaft length. This boat requires a short 15” shaft? I can’t find this info anywhere in the specs.
Buen video hermano 👍 cuánto te costó ese bote? nesecito uno a si mismo para el canal.... Saludos desde República Dominicana 🇩🇴👍🐟🦈🐬
Pesca Épica RD This particular boat runs anywhere between 1500 and $1700 for the 15 footer. Thank you for watching the video I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 gracias
In what country producing this boat?....thanks for answers...
Thank you for watching! I do believe these bolts were being made in China.
On this 15.4 Bris , How do you install the Bimini top and blue transport wheels?
Liquid Joey thank you for watching they sell mounts you glue onto the sides. I will try to find the link and post it. If you buy a top from a company who sells inflatable boats they will provide them for you but if you buy an actual boat top they are a little hard to find. For the wheels you simply screw a bracket into the transom and use two cotter pins to rotate the wheels up and down in a lock position.
Thank you . I got the wheels in the Mail today and the boat "15.4" will be here Thursday :)
I also grabbed a 6.5 Hp motor and a 65lb trolling motor since I will be using it mostly in lakes here in Washington state. Do you think the 6.5 will be enough?
Great job with the videos!
Liquid Joey The 6.5 is going to be somewhat sluggish on a 15 foot inflatable I originally had a 9.8 on there and could not get it on plane unless I had one person. With a 15 hp I could barely get up on plane with two people and a load. If you purchased a Bris boat upon receiving the boat make sure you thoroughly inspect it because the particular boat I had had many imperfections including a leaking drain valve when I originally purchased it not to mention the boat was cut incorrectly which made it very difficult to put the floor in.
I just bought one. Where do I get an electric pump lik you have.
What size transom is it? Can it take a jet?
Put mine together today. So what PSI does each tube get? Came with zero info. Also, how does it work in the sun?
Do you leave it pumped to the suggested psi or let air out? In water and transporting on trailer.
Johnny Valencia thanks for watching!! 3 psi is were I inflate my boats if it is winter I might go 3.2 psi. If you decide to leave the boat inflated all of the time leave about 2 psi when not using and fully inflate when ready.
Boat is doing great but have an issue when I go too fast
It’s like an air bubble that starts in the front and makes its way to the back causing the boat to jump. From what I read, it can be crooked keel chamber or it’s under inflated. I know you said 3psi for tubes, but what about the keel? I remember you responding to another person saying it should be 5psi.
Just want to confirm that is correct psi for the keel
And
Have you experienced this?
Thanks
Johnny Valencia yes 5 psi is correct. What size boat and do you have the air floor or aluminum? You will feel a ripple under the air floor but it should not make the boat jump. As far as the keel if is a little off center that should not be a problem. It might if it is really off. You could always remove it and re glue but be careful. I would actually have the company you bought it from repair or replace the boat if it keeps happening.
Infinite Outdoor Adventures
I have the 15.4
If it’s 5 psi then I definitely have not been inflating to right psi
I’m gonna take floor off today and make sure it’s lined up right
Hi, How long did it take to inflate the boat? Is it also Heat Welded seams?
Thank you for watching. I no longer have the boat boat if I remember correctly with an electric pump it took all the 10 minutes on the high side.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 Ok ty. Did you sell it or did the seams fell off?
@@LEVIAHAN i would also like to know this
S o your promotion of the Bris boat how good and great and strong it is but in a comment your telling a guy to go with a Saturn boat as these Bris 15 ft 4 on Amazon are horrible amd no good tho
Alot of people in the comments have had bad experiences so what brand would you guys recommend?
omgawall222 thank you for watching. I would go with the Saturn/Mars brand, Mercury or if you have access to the Honwave brand I hear those are excellent. They are all made out of the same material it just comes down to craftsmanship
I have this modal and the left rear chamber is leaking air inside lower corner against the transome where the transome plastic, floor and tube cone together in the seem. It will be hard to get a patch in area. Any ideas what to use? I was thinking Staybond or g-flex epoxy.
Chris M I would try H66 vinyl cement www.amazon.com/HH-66-PVC-Vinyl-Cement-Brush/dp/B005LL3ZXW
Or you could try Loctite Marine adhesive. The H66 will look cleaner and it should hold. You also have Stabond but I have never personally used it. shop.inflatableboatparts.com/product/stabond-adhesive-for-pvc-hypalon/
I hope this help. Also if the boat is under 3 years it should be covered under the warranty.
I was told to stuff would work.
rivergear.com/product/system-6-urethane-coating-for-pvc-boats-material/
You painted on to the thickness of a credit card. But I've never used it. I do have a can of hh-66.
Chris M I would try using the H66 first and then applying the product you just showed me on top of it I would think that would work. I have done a lot of research on repairing transoms and it isn’t the easiest thing to do sometimes you have to replace the bottom completely to get a seal. I’ll try to find those videos and send you the link. Are you past the Warranty?
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240
Yeah I am outside warranty.
So the areas in the crease of the tube I can't get a patch in there so should I just apply brush in some hh-66?
what the model number of the trim tabs
I wish California wasn't so windy to be able to use inflatable boats
Inflatable yaghts. 50 foot plus rsbge
I use mine in the wind in California all the time and have no problem
I have the same boat and I want to buy a bimini top, do you know what the indicated size would be?
Let me look for the link of the one I ordered it was from Amazon

@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 thanks you !!
Hi Body! I am looking to buy a bris same as yours can you help me with address of the company or shop ..and what.s the price for that..Thank you
Thank you for watching. They sell them on Amazon and Ebay, I think they run $1800-$2000 now.
I know they are selling in the amszon and ebay but are different person different company..the question is which one and who???
Sir how much of this bris your type size? If from Malaysia how get it ,some places dont have access shipping to country worlwide
does the black floor inflate?
m1 Thank you for watching. Yes there’s an inflatable keel in the middle inflates to about 5 psi.
So the sides are 3 psi and the keel is 5 psi?
Man I'm at 4 hrs trying to pack it back up.
Can you attach a ski pole to that?
What very happened to this boat ?
I ended up selling this one.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 if you don’t mind why’d you sell ?
is it v keel?
Yes
What air pump is that please? Thanks.
Lorne Duncan it is a nadala sold on Amazon but I believe there are better out there. This is the second one after the 1st broke and then this one broke but I managed to make it work but not completely as it should. The high-pressure functions should completely shut the pump down when it reaches the desired psi mine just reverts back to the first stage pump which is OK But not worth the money I paid.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 Are you sure you have that name right? I can't find it on amazon.
Lorne Duncan sorry I miss spelled the name here is the link. www.amazon.com/NALANDA-Electric-Quick-Fill-Inflatable-Kayaks/dp/B07FKJ6JYK
Do you need to register the Bris inflatable?
Shari Schulman In the state of Nevada as long as you have any type of motor electric or gas you have to register it but if you’re just using the paddles no
Any issues with registration for this craft?
No they come with MSO’s to register them.
I want to get one but my fear is some jealous bozos cutting it while I'm a sleep in my motel on a trip
that's why you have it rolled nice and compact for travelling.
Hi.. How much please?
Thank you for watching! These boats normally run around $1600 or may be a little bit less but I would highly suggest looking into a different brand.
@@infiniteoutdooradventures2240 thanks for your answer
$ ?
They sell for $1700-$2000. There a lot of nicer boats for that price in my opinion.
Get a stryker!!
Bad quality, the boat falls apart, stay away!
Seriously I like to buy one thik it's worth it ?
