I bought the Navigator 250 for use as a dinghy for my Nordic Tug 39 which I single hand most of the time. At 53 lbs it is easily handled by one person, is built from the finest materials and rows extremely well. Very impressed with the boat and company. Highly recommend
The only complaint i have is the template holes were drilled too small.
The threads on bolts dragged through and messed up 2 bolts.
Should be a clearance hole and tight fit
I'm out catching fish in my true kit along side the $30000.00 bass boats. Lots of fun!
The good: lighter, much more stable to get into than my hard chine fiberglass dinghy, carries more weight than my hard dinghy.
The not so good: low bow makes it a wet ride in chop, loose screw in oarlock keeps coming out (despite my repeatedly fixing it), delivered missing 4 black plugs on starboard transom.
This really helped with the cavitation issue I was having while having my jack plate high.
The Quicklok wheels work great, on and off in seconds!! They are made to last for a long time with quality parts!!
What an amazing boat! I used my discovery to explore Lake Powell for a week.I fished off of it and did some spearfishing as well. I love the design and how small it packs up. Quality is top-notch! Super fun boat!
Everything was received promptly. It is easy to assemble and use. Excellent customer service when there is an issue.
Great landing wheels, install went smooth
Yes, I’m very happy with my 330 Discovery- it is very well made and I like the different attachments on it!! I had it out on a trout lake in Northern Minnesota last week and had a lot of fun with the 330!! I need you to send me one of your rod holder’s!! If you have to call me my cell number is ( [****] ) Thanks, Ralph Furtman!!!
Great layout with notably more room than a traditional bow RIB/SIB. PVC is highest quality I’ve seen outside of Hypalon or TPU. Transom is more than heavy duty enough for the 20hp Tohatsu pull-start motor I installed. Surprisingly dry (even in 2-3ft chop).
Also love the included accessories (seats, oars & oar locks, pump, etc). The optional accessories are equally quality. Overall a great package.
Only downside, is I noticed it is very sensitive to trim and weight distribution. Can go from a great ride to complete hog w/ventilation by moving 80lbs one meter fore/aft
Excellent quality and workmanship.
GREAT way to have a bit of cover out on the water. Easy to put together, pop in, tension up, and go. Very solid, easily withstands folks grabbing on and holding as they enter/exit. Still solid at full throttle with a 15hp outboard.
Just took it out this morning and it handled great !
Just inflated it for the first time today. We were waiting on davits so we wouldn’t have to store in the water or tow it. Much easier to inflate than I anticipated, under twenty minutes from roll out to splash. Quality is good, design seems good, very pleased.
The best. Awesome product. Even better customer service
This is my third inflatable boat and I have used my True Kit around a dozen time since new.
Pros:
Best packing inflatable ever. Just grab and go.
Rows extremely well even in the wind.
Best air floor of any inflatable. It also makes for a fun float board.
Cons:
The material is not for heavy regular use. By my sixth trip I had a slow tube leak. After using soapy water I found a slight scrape that was letting air out. I am very careful with the boat and never drag or abuse it. I have had two very minor scrapes of less than half an inch that leaked air. This is why it's a light, easy to pack boat. But I feel the material is to thin for the cost and for heavy fishing use.
I can recomend it for others just be aware it's a bit fragile.
I love the way they work, however installation on my dinghy was not easy.
We had to get longer bolts, because the transom is about 1.5 inches thick.
It was also not possible for me to drill exactly straight enough to get all of the mounting pieces to fit like they are supposed to.
Thanks for your review Tom. While we always try to satisfy every customer, we cannot know in advance the thickness of everyones transom. Most dinghy wheel producers supply no hardware at all, while we supply hardware that will fit many transoms, although not all. Sometimes hardware will need to be picked up from your local marine or hardware store. We are sure you will get many years of use from your Quicklok Dinghy Wheels. Thanks again
It is so well made !! Sets up in no time. Provides a lot of shade
Only used for a 4 day camping trip, but lightweight, and foregivable when my kids were running it up and down the bay.
Does exactly what I needed. Increased performance, and reduced prop cavitation.
Works great on my mercury 6hp, on a true kit 330. I moved the trim from all the way to the transom to 3 holes up. 20 mph by gps.
