Sharpest dinghy on the Río Dulce! We had a Takacat that suffered complete glue failure so we upgraded to the heat seamed True Kit and were elated to find a pre-fabricated bimini available. I literally unboxed it with the TrueKit tied to the dock and was on my way in the shade in minutes. Can't imagine living without it now! It does fit into the oar lock points so if we end up rowing it'll need popped off but that'll be quick, the system to secure the bimini is great.
Quality is great. Only issue as small as it is is being offered a free hat and not supplied. Minor yes but leaves you a wee bit deflated. In today’s competitive market ts the small things that differentiate the best.
Apologies Leigh - one fabulous True Kit hat coming your way!
Definitely improved or eliminated the cavitation and splashing associated with engine. I was hoping for a little more lift from it to get on plane but maybe expecting too much from it and my 5hp 2-stroke Mercury on my Disco 2.8 with two of us on board totalling about 210 kg.
Works for me! Easy put together and put away, rows awesome, and one person can do it all in under 15 minutes. I don't have the room on my boat, so this is perfect.
Excellent stainless steel components and design. Works great. Doesnt add that much weight
It’s great, had it out on lake Keowee last weekend. I had to get a 6hp (Mercury) as I was unable to carry a 9.9. Just too heavy to get in and out of my vehicle and on to the boat. 9.9 would have been ideal for this 4.0. We love the boat, it’s everything we imagined it would be and a bit more.
Great shipping times and fantastic product
Love my true kit! Easy to set up and put away. Lightweight and love all the fishing attachments I can add on. It really has been the best choice for someone like me who doesn’t want to tow a trailer and boat.
Fast delivery, easy to unbox and setup, good pump easy to inflate, ordered with transom wheel adapter installed, works great, all seems very high quality, only thing that would make it better would be availability of chaps from True Kit but that is the case with most inflatables. Very satisfied and hope for long life.
Great quality. Well built. Disappointing performance. Powered with a Torpedo Travel XP 5 hp equivalent it won't go more than 3 mph without caveating.
Feel free to reach out to our True Kit team to help you get the best performance from your True Kit. Possibly what you are experiencing is ventilation and may be related to the Torqedo prop
I am a big guy. 6 ft 235 lbs and 72 yrs old and I can stand on a tube with out worrying. It inflates really easily and once in the water it handles great. My 3 hp electric outboard moves my wife and I along very well. And my grand kids love it!
Well made product that seems good for the use of beaching a heavier than normal dinghy like ours with a 30 hp motor. There was difficulty in mounting because the machined parts (tabs that the base mounts on) require and very flat, almost machined finish. We found the transom of our highfield dinghy was nowhere near flat. We were able to mount the wheels but the quick release does not work well due to our non-flat transom. We can remove and re-install with the quick release however it requires a hammer and is difficult. One cannot remove and install by hand with ease as advertised.
Thank you Stephen for your review. You are correct that we have designed our removable wheel system around having a flat transom. All our True Kit boats are machined to the highest standards with flat transoms but we realise that many other brands don't take the same care. Our wheels work perfectly, as advertised on an accurately built boat. We are confident that you will enjoy years of use from the wheels.
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.
Tyre failed on second outing
Feel free to contact the True Kit team directly to resolve your issue
Great landing wheels, install went smooth
