Comparing an Inflatable Dinghy with an Inflatable Kaboat

This video comes to you as a suggestion from a fellow Youtube viewer. He asks me to compare an inflatable dinghy with an inflatable kaboat. The main difference between these 2 is the size. The dinghy has the ability to carry more people and things, handle wake and waves batter whereas the kaboat is better suited for 1-3 people and to be used in rivers, lakes, intercoastal waterways, and even the ocean but preferably when the waters are calm. Hope everyone gets to enjoy this video.

The Kaboat is crazy steady even though narrow. Ive had mine around 12miles offshore on pretty nasty day, and kid you not i was killin big waves with a cinch.

I sold my kaboat 16 last fall. Great stability in low wind, i used on small river here in Cincinnati . Had it on Ohio river no problem with 8hp evinrude.
Only sold it because I needed dental work. Thanks for the comparison !

You mentioned fashioning some kind of keel from a pool noodle. It sounds doable, but I don't think I've ever seen it. According to B.T.G. this Saturn model has 4 skegs attached fore and aft on the main tubes to increase tracking stability and decrease the wind effect while on open water. That's got to be worth something when paddling kayak style as well. I want THAT kaboat. Thanks for the videos. You are a terrific, engaging advocate for the product.

A master class on the differences, thank you. I was leaning towards a kaboat, but honestly after seeing this video a dingy is the better option for me and my family...

I watched almost all your Saturn videos. They are awesome thank you. Because of you I just got my new Saturn SK470 XL in green . And a Minnkota Endurance max 55 for now

I wasn't fully thinking it through as to witch one was better out on the bay, so this video greatly helps one decide their needs in the inflatable boat category. I got a brief look at your registration numbers and letters that are required by law, I think it would be interesting to many of us how you applied the registration to the boat.

Hi Eric I had a question I like fishing the ocean here in so cal I have a 6hp outboard. Usually fish my self but also take my son with me. Which Saturn inflatable would you recommend me?

Great review brother I'm getting a Kaboat thank you

[bluedoggum]

Thx. So where would the catamarans fit into the mix? Which models are best for ocean only, meaning running into chop often but still want a very small boat. Catamarans? Thanks

[waveranger]

Eric, could a person keep the dinghy inflated and put it on a boat trailer to store and transport? Plus keeping in covered when not used.

Do you like this one or the zk380 for ocean? I plan to go mainly alone but occasionally with 1-2 more people. I’m stuck between the zk380 or the 470xl. I’m using a mercury 8hp

Good video, because of your product reviews I purchased a saturn triton 13' dinghy and very satisfied. I also keep it indoors.
I do Wonder if saturn will introduce a RIB version?
Thanks for you hard work and fun videos.

Hello, I was wondering on how was the performance of 6hp outboard in your dinghy? Will it run pretty well with 4 adults passengers? How fast can it go on calm water?

[travisrolando]

Really great info Erick! Great comparison too!

[robertharrowfield]

another great vlog Erick ! looking good old mate .

[CAMVANHA]

Hi bro i love your channel . Can i ask you a question: if i keep outboard motor on sd 470 on road with save transom so it will damage my boat ? Thank you

[alexeyakulovich]

Eric, if you have option to keep just one boat with no ocean just lakes and rivers and you choosing between Saturn SK 385XL and Zodiac Cadet 310 AIR (deck) - what will be your choice?

[maldrury]

Main advantage of the Kaboat seems to be it needs less power. Nice work on the comparison.

[edgars]

Erick what's the material on the Saturn Dinghy

[josephbutler]

How about a review on a inflatable catamaran!!
