Great video, nice to see the Honwave going through a tidal race, not many videos online like this, I've got a simillar video on my channel going out from Exmouth on an incoming spring tide.

Do you have your transducer near the front? Loving the swirl and how well our Honwave handles it. Thanks for sharing this. Ray K UK 🇬🇧 YNWA.

Hi Ray. The transducer is attached to the pole you can see in the video. It was an experiment and moved it to the rear again 👍 A bit bumpy 😂

@@raykeogh1972 The best place was strapped to the rear on the tube but a bit of a faf on my own. I’ve got it attached to my launching wheels which is fine but at speed it gives me a water spout but no big deal. You can still easily run aground even with a transducer. Just keep an eye on the chart plotter to make sure your not drifting into the shallows 😳

The floor Is stable with that sea or does It flex with every wave? I'm not sure if buying a full inflatable

The floor is very stable as long as it’s the correct pressure. These sibs are great in my opinion. Don’t be tempted to get one with an alloy floor. A faf to put together and add to much weight to the boat..

What I do some times is follow a bigger boat ,they flatten out the sea a fair bit. I don't like the feeling when you get picked up by waves

We could have gone round this bit of rough sea but it’s a bit of fun testing out the sib and myself 😳😂 Yes I often follow a bigger boat for a smooth run

@@theinflatableboatownersnet5684 I think the most worrying thing is being swamped by a following wave and watching all my gear float off. It won’t sink but there’s also a chance of capsize as well. I deliberately headed towards that tidal flow to see how the sib handled and myself too…
