Been having fun yesterday and today with this thing. I opted for a small
engine, (it will take up to a 15 horse) and have been dutifully following
the break-in proceedure. Today I finally had enough time on it that I
could
"open it up".

Little sucker surprised me. Got up on a plane and zipped right along.

This is my first inflatable, and it's a blast.

Hoist system works awesome. All I do is let up on the bow line and the
forward stringer and push the boat out at an angle in the slip. It leaves
plenty of room to launch the inflatable between the boat and the dock.

If that is an air floor powered by a 6hp it should reach a nice
planing speed.

When we had our Achilles inflatable (rigid wood floor) we ran it with
a small OB with an internal tank and always carried a portable 1
gallon plastic gas tank on board in case we ever ran out of fuel.
