Saturn SD385 Inflatable Boat Water Review

This boat handled the water really nicely and even though I was only using a 6hp outboard it got into plane within 10 seconds.

Guys, I recommend you to try the new version of Saturn because the seams are heat welded. They are much better to my knowledge. I bought the SD version but unfortunately it fell apart because the seams are glue welded. So the glue broke down after 4 years of use. If you want to buy a dinghy, keep away from the glue welded ones and go for the heat welded ones because they will definitely last longer especially if you live in a hot area.

I need a dinghy for my sailboat. I was looking at the deep v Jon boat. You got me to consider the inflatable. Considering the storage and the overall cost, there's nothing even close to the inflatable with the air floor. You save me a lot of money and a lot of headache. Thanks for the videos buddy.

What a perfect tranquil place to launch a boat. Very nice!

well because of your videos I ordered and will be receiving on Friday my SD365. it will have my 4hp Merc 4-stroke on it this summer. May buy the carb kit and make the motor a 6hp. Same motor as yours too! Upgrading my travel boat from a roll up 8.5 footer to the 12 footer will be nice. Now both my boats are 12 foot as I have an aluminum boat at my father in laws house

I just got mine a few days ago and I can't wait to get it on the water here in Destin Florida. I'm currently using a hangkai 4 horsepower outboard motor, but I'm eventually going up to a 25hp motor. ❤️ This boat.
Thanks

Hi Erick, I have been watching your video for a while. Looks like you had or went through several inflatable boats and motors. You are a lucky man. I have a 10.8’ inflatable boat and a Mercury 6HP. I dreamed to upgrade to a 15 or 20HP motor. After this video I decided to keep my 6 HP. Thanks for your video. Thinking of pulling the 100lbs motor from the car, lift it up to attach to the boat, I think I don’t have energy left to enjoy the boat. Good job Erick.

Привет, Эрик.Лодка очень хорошая, а вот двигатель для неё слабый.Если второй пассажир будет 100 килограммов, то мотор не справится. Я заметил, что в США всегда хорошая погода 😉

I have bought a Bark Bt-310 inflatable boat have you heard of the boat before I also have purchased a tohatsu 6hp I hope the combination will go well another fantastic video 💯💯

Great informative video! I have an older Saturn XD430, which I haven’t used very much mostly because of the limitation of hauling it around and the slower minn kota trolling motor. I have been thinking of getting it to water more often. I have been thinking of getting a 20 hp motor just so I can get some decent speed. Would it be possible to get some decent speed if I go with a 9.8 hp and make the upgrade to the propeller as you mentioned?

Hi Eric I want how durable is the bottom of the heavy duty 12ft no good videos on you tube about that and I realize your the Saturn guy to go too love yuh video's look too buy one but afraid of if I run over logs or some reef what might happen too me also would like too know if it could handle a 15hp thanks in advance

[elmermendez]

Hello Eric
I being watching your videos and thinking to get the HD385 for me. My question is do you have a video showing how to install the sun cover on the boat? Also we both live in Florida any close encounter with alligators? I live in the Orlando area, hope to see you in the water some day.

[nicholasmorris]

Hi Erick, thanks for all the informative videos. I’m on the fence as to buy the Saturn SD365 11’ or the Azzurro 11’. Looking at the specs the only real difference I see is the Azzurro tube weight is about 10 lbs. more. Is the build quality much better? Currently there’s a $300. price difference. Is it worth it? Could put that towards a motor. Thanks for your opinion.

Waiting on you to do more kaboats ...the vk380 or the sk385xl i cant deside wich to get lol

[alexopweg]

Hi man. You have a nice boat. But what about Tohatsu ??? Subscribe from Netherlands 🇳🇱 . All the best to everyone !!!

[Bing]

@erick my outboard motor is not in yet so I was wondering if I could take similar Saturn 13’ FB 385 boat out to a calm lake and use the oars that came with it in the meantime (3-4 ppl in boat) ? Or is it going to be difficult ? This is my first time owning just a heavy boat. Thanks

[ia]

Eric another qs pls, do you have any video that shows how to pull tube on inflatable please? Saturn said you cant attach to transom but need to use d rings, but the question is where to attach them. What would be the location point. Any info would appreciate!

[carloshernandez]

Awesome videos brotha, are the sections separate for this boat? Meaning do you have to load/unload the entire boat into your prius, or is the floor and other parts separate? Just wondering how heavy this would be for one person to load/unload. Thanks!
