To ensure I knew all about how to setup the 385ft FastTrack Kayak I used my living room to check things out. I was waiting on my electric pump to arrive so I used the foot air bellows. I partially filled the sides to around 75% then ensured the drop-stitched floor was tucked into base of the side pontoons and inflated the floor. I then pumped the side pontoons to full pressure. This took no more than 10 mins for my first try. The Kayak hull weighs 32 lbs and is easily moved by one person. It's 12.5 feet long and will fit nicely on top of our new 2018 R-27/OB with some of it overhanging the cockpit canopy. I'll use Kayak carrier brackets to secure the Kayak to the cross bars and will install it right side up. The Kayak has two drain ports near its stern so this can be left open when underway to drain and rain or sea water. To unload the Kayak my thoughts are that I would release it from the Kayak carrier brackets and slide it forward to the foredeck and then launch it overboard. If I wanted to stow this Kayak when deflated it will go into its bag 25"x18"x8" and be placed behind the transom door on the stern platform. The build quality of this FastTrack is excellent. I'll leave the FastTrack inflated in my living room for maybe a week to make sure there are no leaks. I will then deflate it and take to the R-27 to see how well it will install on the R-27's cabin top on the port side.
