Pilot M-330

Comment: So the first tests on the water took place, today, despite the non-flying weather, we got out to a nearby river with a friend, the weather was raging gusty wind clouds almost zero air temperature all said that we shouldn’t go out to the water today, but since there was no way back , quickly collected the sled in a slightly inflated boat, pumped the cylinders (it is worth noting that the pump from the kit turned out to be quite easy and quick to pump up the boat) threw things and went to run around the boat at the oars, and then we were covered first with cold pouring rain, and then also a hail, thank God, small as sunflower seeds but unpleasant.
In general, even though we were sailing heavily and trying to press us to the shore with a wind, the boat on the oars quite easily let us go further, which we did get to the first stop at the reeds (barely protruding from the water's edge). It turned out that the paddles will not be able to be inserted into the latches for the paddles, as if rubber, but from the cold they became hard as plastic made the decision to lay the paddles on the cylinders as they were.
Tests on the stability of the water the boat was a great success. What we just did not get up in it - the boat was rooted to the spot in spite of the gusting wind standing to its full height it was just great to throw the whole surrounding water area with a spinning boat or wind it. The impression was that you were standing on the pier, not in the boat.
There was plenty of room for two adult spinningists, even things that occupied the whole place on the nasal section of the floor did not in the least interfere. The boat is very maneuverable, sometimes sailed past pieces of ice, to bypass them turned out to be very easy. Paddles in the keys sit confidently and easily allow them to manage nothing bites, the keys are working their job at 100%.
Further rowed both downwind and upwind. It feels like the oars, though they look narrow, but row with terrible force. So my fears were not justified and the family paddles are quite suitable for the intended use.
As for the boat - in spite of the absolutely not pumped-up carina, they forgot about it still on the shore, and in the process there was not even a need to swing it, the boat remained maneuverable and it did not twist on the water from side to side. Fully responsive management, for motor I think the keel will still have to swing, without it in any way. In total, we arrived on the water for about 6 hours, going ashore did not experience discomfort in the legs, because the seats are very high and the legs are quite comfortable (with my height of 185 cm), and the place allows you to stretch out again if you like. I repeat the boat in my opinion is ideal for fishing 2 people (of any build), even while sitting at least standing, you can take the third and even the fourth passenger, but this is more for walking purposes and preferably with a motor. paddling with 4 passengers on board will not be convenient to row.
According to the results of the day spent in the boat, you can confidently say Pilot M330 is ideal for fishing together, for walking purposes this boat also proved itself well, for my family there is enough space for everyone! Visually and to the touch, the seams are reliably soldered / glued without any traces of glue leaks. Everything is done perfectly! I recommend to purchase! And lastly, the handles on the cylinders are very convenient for carrying over land, and we had to carry the boat assembled in a steep mountain and with a side wind, I repeat everything was done conscientiously!
