Does anyone else on here have one? I've had mine for awhile. Much more enjoyable than a kayak. I've got a fishfinder and a 2hp 24v trolling motor on it.
I removed the wood slat bench seats and added a swivel seat with pedestal as well. It's an inflatable but packs up real small. Seems to be quite durable. It's stable enough to stand up in.

Nice setup
I never heard of! but looks real cool...always thought about inflatable...But I had too many flat tires in my Day and I SKERD...I will keep my eyes wide open though
oh yea them Lou Swampers are multiplying like crazy...Guess they like it in Deep Freez at 72Deg when its 100deg outside
I saw one for sale locally for $500 and included a 6hp Evinrude. Wish I would have picked it up. I have a 1648 for rivers/lakes at home but thought the Kaboat would be awesome to take down to the beach and use in the ocean early in the morning. I have a little 9.5 Evinrude I would have tried on it which probably would have made it scoot pretty good.
You ever tried an outboard on yours?
CVA the boat is quite durable, but I did make the mistake of dropping some white perch on the floor. That punctured the removable air floor with pinholes. Now I dont go slinging perch around in it anymore. Plus I added a piece of marine carpet over the air floor just in case. Riding around lakes, hitting rocks, and scooting it a little on the ramp has done no real damage to the hull. In a lake I think it will last for years.Quote:

Everyone else, i've not tried an outboard on it. My 2hp electric pushes it at 5hp. I think it rates out at 3hp max for my particular kaboat, which is a bris brand 12 footer. The saturn kaboats can handle higher HP outboards.
that is a cool looking boat , i have thought about getting an inflatable a few times , and there are some really nice varieties to choose from...but i was always afraid i would poke a hole in it , or my dog would tear a hole in it with his sharp claws....
