West Marine RIB 310 Top Speed Test With A 15HP Motor!!! Unboxing + Review

Today we unbox and review a brand new West Marine rigid hard bottom inflatable dinghy. This little boat tender gets a 15hp motor strapped on the back and then we find out how fast it can go.

exactly what i bought last summer... i put the flat form and a seat close to middle.. used shot extension for motor.. seat very comfortable .. pair with 6hp... with a wood i put in the boat flat to build in a chair... Man it's very nice cruising around hours for fishing... i love this boat... do you.. ???😂😂

Nice change of pace. I love seeing boat videos, especially top speed runs 😎 thanks for sharing Ben.

Impressive speed for an inflatable dinghy!

I have a 15hp 2 stroke on mine I get 25mph. You must be a new boater using the tiller right handed

Thank you very much.
I was waiting for a thorough review with all the specifications.

I have this boat with a 2021 merc 9.9 and a 15hp carb from iBoats and it does 28mph and the motor is only 82lbs. It's a great tender for my 39 Silverton

Awesome setup. just bought this same boat used really nice for $450. One of the lucky winter deals. I need a bigger outboard motor though I just have the 3.5 mercury.

Great video! Have a new 20hp suzuki and am considering the same boat. Good info and testing. Thanks for your opinion.👍

That’s awesome! You convinced me, I have a 310 highfield with a Honda 15 that has a 4 blade prop with a little ding in it and have been looking to buy a 3 blade with more pitch but wasn’t sure how much it would help on such a small motor but damn. I’ve gotten 24mph on a glassy lake so excited to see what I can get this summer!

[joeschmoe]

This a GREAT video. Straight, to the point and, VERY informative. 👌

Nice video! It looked like you could pick that motor up without too much trouble, yeah? I'm looking to upgrade from a 45 lb 5 HP to a 95 lb 15 HP, but I've been hesitant due to the weight. I have to carry the motor and attach it to my RIB because I transport the RIB on the roof of my SUV.

Hey man, nice boat! 29 Mph top speed on a 10ft small rib boat is impressive! Btw you can get a tiller extension for a motor and then seat in the middle of boat to counterweight heavy motor in the back. I also strap my fuel tank at nose of a boat, there is a special strap mount build in on my WM 310 rib with folding transom. Overall nice video, I liked it very much!

[RSADYNAMICS]

Hay how's the k24 Porsche ? is the engine holding up ? do you have any plans to upload any new videos 😀

[maxmoo]

Try putting the fuel tank up in the bow with a longer fuel make it handle better at speed.

[Ledfoot]

I had that combo and it was perfect, but my kids got too big, currently use a 3.8 and a 15hp, I need a 20hp.

[joeyo]

Thanks for the video! What shaft length was your Suzuki? Manual says nothing about it that I could find.

[nicka]

How do you tie the boat down in the truck bed? I've tried it your way before but felt the boat was very back heavy with the motor on and was worried it was too much weight.

[heheboi-orex]

hey can i ask do you lock your tilting mechanism ?

[donaldmartin]

Always have 2 people one in the front so you can get on plane amd ride smoother tho

[MultiDilldozer]

What prop did you go with and where did you get it
