Honwave t35ae

Hi to everyone, I am pretty much decided on getting a new honwave t35ae to go with my 15hp four stroke outboard. Was wondering if anyone has this setup or had it and can give me some feedback on your thoughts. Thanks

I have the same Honwave but with a Honda 20 and it certainly moves along.

Big tip... Inflate the floor to the recommended pressure, it makes the world of a difference.

Ive got a T38 and sometimes my battery operated pump doesnt fully inflate the airdeck

Anyone know of a good manual pump with a built in pressure gauge to "finish off" the floor?

Surely the T35ae is an aluminum floor ?

Aluminium floor

Yeah the t35ae is ally floor. Need it for fishing so will choose ally floor to aid standing up.

Correct, I should've said inflate the KEEL to recommended pressure.

But I'm sure he knows what I meant though.

Bravo 4 kite, comes with pressure gauge, or Bravo 4 Alum, comes without gauge, will need to buy appart. It's same as of Bravo 4 kite, but less pricey. Pump is a double action one, if extenous to inflate a complete deflated sib, can remove inside upper piston ring and just use lower ring, pump will inflate just when stroking down...

Happy Boating

I've had a T35AE for the past 18mths or so. Very impressed overall, great value for money. I use a Mariner 15 2-stroke.

My only gripe is that its weight is plenty at 160lbs... about 45lbs more than a similar length wood floor Zodiac. The Honwave is very stable though.

Thanks

Thanks to all for comments. Doesn't seem to be much negative so will purchase in the next month or so and set up ready for spring/summer.
