    Just curios if with the smallest 12 foot KABOAT could you get away using a higher HP outboard? The specs say 2.5 but could you push the mark with a faster one without tearing up the transom?

  4. I like the …
    I like the background music. It sounds like the turn of the century. In those modern days when people were rich in a ballroom, wait or when the revolution of automobiles were popular and the rich people were smoking in their cars. Like Alcapone, or rich ladies with the nets that covered their face from thier hat. Or something relevant to that. regardless, I’m deeply touched by the music in this video.

    Well, that is because we tried those boats when weather was nice, who would want to go on water when weather is bad :) . But, we did run Kaboat over waves produced by large boats, and we had no problems with that. In general, it is recommended to stay away from water when small boat advisory is issued, or weather is not very pleasant.

    Thanks for the reply, your videos always seem to have such nice weather I wondered how they would handle rougher water.

    I would say 1- 2′, you have to cross waves under 45 degree angle, and slow down when going up on wave. But in general, this boat is inflatable, that is why Navy Seals are using inflatables, because it is not easy to sink boat filled with air.
