Hi - great video on how the 4x4 handles the beach. We are looking to buy one and went for a test drive today. The noise coming from the electric sliding door was significant. We are unsure if that is because it is a display model and people have been using it incorrectly. Have you had any issues with the electric sliding door? regards
@NuMoonvl49364 ай бұрын
No issues. Less noise than what we call sliders or backpacker type vans as they slam as will.

Hi guys, I enjoyed your video, what is the draft of your boat? did you run into any depth issues?
@NuMoonvl49364 ай бұрын
Hi draft is about 750mm with outboard down. 300mm up. We had a good depth sounder and had no problems. We needed a good sounder to find a clear bottom to drop anchor.
@ScoutingwithDigger4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm planning a trip this year and have a draft of about 450mm. You've given me a bit more confidence in making it! I will invest in a good sounder. Any other advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. @@NuMoonvl4936
