  1. Because I will be moving with the trailer a sailer from harbor to harbor regularly to do filming of adventure and fishing missions and also doing a lot of land-based documentaries and interviews about places like campgrounds etc. and with people of interest I will not be full-time sailing and boating for the whole summer. My main concern with the two boats the 2 m and the 3.35 m inflatable's, both will have to be inflated and deflated regularly. I don't have as much experience with inflatable boats as you guys so could you please give me the heads up about whether or these boats can be inflate

  3. YUP, Thanks for all the advice, the trailer sailer seems the best fit for adventure projects as it is easy to tow between harbors and certainly more core effective without all the red tape that comes with a keelboat. 20ft Pelin Caribou 15hp Hidea Yamaha clone outboard with long shaft high thrust prop Aircat 335 inflatable with Suzuki 8hp and I just purchased a 1.8m PVC tender with oars.
  4. I ended up getting an 8hp for the inflatable and a 15hp with a high thrust prop for the Trailer sailer. I have been out in some good blows and was very happy with the extra power of the 15 even though it weighs nearly 100lb, luckily it doesn't seem to upset the balance of the boat. And the economy is just amazing. I visited Every harbor except the Manukau from Auckland Northward. Had a fabulous time and met quality people every day. I'm looking forward to Shooting many YouTube adventures on my return to NZ in October.
  5. I Parked My 20ft Trailer Sailer at Whangaroa at my friends orchard on Saturday morning then drove to Auckland and said farewell to family, on Sunday I parked My Camper in Albany then flew from Auckland to Shanghai overnight, then took the fast train arriving at Guangzhou midnight Monday and got home 1am on Tuesday. Fresh as can be today haha.
  6. Perhaps this 8hp motor would be okay for the sailboat but an underpowered compromise for the inflatable, still it a short shaft.
  7. I need to buy an outboard for my new OLD Pelin Caribou 20 trailersailer which has an adjustable outboard mounting bracket. The last owner had a 9.9hp Johnson but it was left in his garage and got flooded a few months back in the bad weather. I would ideally prefer to get a short shaft 15hp so I could swap it between the yacht and my 3.3m inflatable. As I am living in a motorhome I don't want to carry 2 outboards around everywhere. Can the 20 trailer boat function with a short shaft and will the 40 kg motor greatly impact the sailing performance? opinions and advice wo
