Super easy to work with. Usually answer email pretty quickly. Got 12 foot saturn boat and put 15 hp merc 2 stroke on it, and boat fly like a jet ski. Nice quality. At this price I was kind of expecting some lower quality boat, but was really impressed with materials and heavy duty stuff. Boat looks really good and so far I am happy boater.

BoatsToGo is just what I was looking for. They have a wide selection of sizes and types of inflatable boats. I wanted a lightweight boat that would be easy to pack into out Sprinter travel van, but still large enough to handle large bodies of water. I ended up choosing the 12' Mars budget model, because it only weighs 90 lbs, yet is rated for a 25 Hp motor.
The photos & YouTube videos looked good, but I was still slightly skeptical that it might not be sturdy enough. I needed to order a motor, but held off before deciding which size to buy, until the boat arrived. It arrived in 3 days, which impressed me for a 100+ lb package from Miami to Charlotte. The boat seemed sturdy enough IMO that I decided to order a 20 Hp outboard for it. That's the largest Hp rating under 100 lbs. The one I got is supposed to be 94.5 lbs. It will be here in a couple of days. I'm excited to get it out on the lake for a test run.
I was lucky and purchased during Black Friday and saved about $100. 🙂

I also ordered a bimini top for it, but had to get it from another source because I wanted it in a color besides gray. Not sure why BTG only sells them in gray.
I can't wait to see how fast the little 12' boat will run with 20 Hp. I expect it will fly!
I had a little trouble with one of the valves. I twisted the seal loose inside it. BTG includes a special wrench for unscrewing the valve assembly and even a spare valve. I'd just turned the valve too much and caused a seal to come off the groove. It was a breeze to fix, and I was actually happy to see how simple they are to service.
So far I'm a very happy customer.

I have a 14' kaboat and wanted to tell you how much I like it and some of the modifications I've made.It packs an unpacks very easily in the carry bag, it's a one-person operation from start to finish. While I'm putting on my dive gear, I have the boat hooked up to an electric pump and by the time I'm done dressing, I only have to top it up with the hand pump. Deflating is even faster, just open the valves and roll from the transom to the bow, it's all wrapped up in a couple minutes.I bought an old Evinrude Light Twin 4hp engine for $100, and with just me aboard it'll plane at about 15mph. With two people the performance drops to 6.5mph, but this is two big guys with wetsuits, weight belts, etc. I put the gas tank under the bow cover and run a long fuel line back.I don't often use the seats that came with the boat. The rear seat is too close to the engine and the middle seat is too far, so I just sit on the tubes. I have a 42 qt cooler I use in the middle of the boat, it's pinched gently in place by the tubes and stays in place. I use the cooler for storage and it makes a convenient middle seat for a passenger. I can move the cooler where I want to better balance the boat.One thing I've modified is to use a 2-piece marine plywood floor, I laminated the bow section so it follows the same curvature as the boat. The floor is very solid under foot, distributes the load better along the full length of the boat, makes the boat more stable, and improves handling. Thanks for a great product!
