From Two Wheels to No Wheels: First Adventure on Stryker LX 360 Inflatable

As an avid motorbike rider, I’m always up for adventure with new ways to get out and explore. Whether it’s cruising along the winding roads of the countryside, hilly area or taking a long ride to the beach.

I love to take the freedom that comes with being on the open road.

However, recently I thought to switch things up and try my hand at boating. I purchased an Zodiac boat Stryker LX 360 which is very reliable and versatile inflatable that offers super performance and durability.

The Stryker LX 360 is made from heavy-duty PVC material that is sturdy enough to handle any tough condition. With a length of 11.8 feet and a width of 5.4 feet, this inflatable can comfortably accommodate up to five persons and has a maximum load capacity of 1,300 pounds.

The boat design allows for easy transportation and storage, makes it an ideal choice for those who want to be a boat owner. This inflatable can be easily carried in the trunk of the car.

The boat is equipped with a well known reliable 15Hp yamaha outboard engine. Along with speed and acceleration the engine is featured with an advanced fuel injection system that maximizes the fuel consumption while minimizing emissions, making it an environmentally friendly vehicle.

Yesterday, I and some of my friends planed to take the boat out for a ride. We loaded up the boat and drove down to the Shitalakshya river, which is known for its calm waters and stunning views. Getting the boat ready took us about 20 minutes, but once we were all set, we hit the water and started our journey.

As we set off, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. This was my first time piloting a boat, and I was eager to see what it was like. The river was calm, and the sun was shining, making for perfect boating conditions. We cruised along at a leisurely pace, taking in the sights and sounds of the river.

After about an hour of boating, we stopped at a small landing state to take a break. In the mean time I was checking the engine, however i found that the spark plug was making some troubles. I got remembered that yesterday we opened the engine and unfortunately we didn’t set the spark plug properly.

While i was going to tight the spark plug, i broke it ! As it was my first ride with the boat i forgot to take spare spark plug. This lead us to a little bit problem. I went to the local market and collect the same spark plug mean while my friends were enjoying the river side and taking photos.

As we got back in the boat and fixed the spark plug issue and continued our journey, I began to feel more and more comfortable at the helm. I experimented with different speeds and steering techniques, and I started to get a feel for how the boat handled. It was an amazing feeling that I was in control of this powerful machine.

Before I knew it, three hours had passed, and it was time to head back to home. We slowly made our way back to our starting point, taking one last look at the river before we packed up the boat and headed to the home.

Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to do it again. I feel like I’ve discovered a whole new world of adventure, and I’m excited to see where it takes me. Whether I’m on two wheels or on the water, one thing is for sure – I’ll always be looking for my next great adventure.
