This is my third inflatable boat and I have used my True Kit around a dozen time since new

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

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

Only used for a 4 day camping trip

Only used for a 4 day camping trip, but lightweight, and foregivable when my kids were running it up and down the bay.

Great upgrade for my engine

Does exactly what I needed. Increased performance, and reduced prop cavitation.

Works great on my mercury 6hp

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.

Very high quality but a tad clunky to assemble

They work great

Stowaway Dinghy

The perfect dinghy for folks with a small cruising boat such as my wife (74) and I (89) on a 22' C-Dory. Good quality material, strong. Clever design, mildly pontoon shaped, stable, soft seat for passenger on back end tube. Higher pressure insert floor makes boat rigid, stepping in like on a hard bottom. Better oar locks that really lock and hold oars securely in a spill. Good rowing position. Can carry even 3 smaller persons well on flat water. Easy to in- and deflate, light enough for old folks to put on cabin top and take down without sprains. Great little boat!

330 Discovery

This is an amazing small boat .
I am an older individual who had to change to a boat that is portable yet stable and easy to board.
I am so impressed with the quality of the boat and even more impressed with the support of the seller.
Every question was promptly answered and the shipping was fast.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Well made, sturdy wheels that were easy to install. Only problem was the screws provided were too short and I had to get screws that were an inch and a half longer. It seems like the screws provided, are for a very thin transom. My transom is about an inch and a quarter thick.

Quick response. Very impressed with the quality of the boat.

These Folks are on to something

What a good design. Bought as a second, small back-up tender and powering with a 2.5hp Yamaha

Love the “‘landing craft” front — our older German Shepherd had an easy time boarding from beaches— the main reason for the purchase — secondary reason: shallow water access better than our 14 ft RIB.

Excellent and stable

We're happy with this boat. It's very stable, safe, and sails very well.

Have had 3 tenders. So far the best!!!!

Perfect 👍

Good utility..

It’s great!

Makes moving the boat really easy

Nice kit

Professional build, great tender for the tropics!

Horrible to install

Impossible to install , tolerances too tight and ss mounting plate is too thin.
Slightest warpage keeps lock mech from working. Bolts are too short !
I’m am totally frustrated
I need a thick mounting plate that won’t warp so easy. None of the inflatables have totally flat plane on transom as the have overlapping pvc fabric
I want a phone number for someone to talk to

Dumbfounded

I was towing your TrueKit 280 in rough conditions, 8-10 ft seas blowing 20 knots,(I should not do this) and it nose dived on me and nearly stopped my boat(it makes a great drogue by the way). But what I couldn’t believe was two D rings held while I worked for 15 minutes retrieving it. I’d have lost big money on that bet. I gotta say, you built a hell of a strong boat!!!! Bravo!!

First looks

Just unwrapped it once. Aired up fine. Will be using car air pump for future use. Foot pump is tedious.
Have not had it in the water as of yet, as weather conditions have not been kind here in South Carolina lately.
Will save that for future update.

4.0 discovery

Very nice boat

Solid boat

First day out was on 4 and 5ft waves. The boat took it like a champ. Super stable! Great platform to spearfish from.
