Best pump for T38?
Hi All,
Just picked up my new Honwave T38 and Honda 20hp engine.
I need to get a decent pump that will inflate the boat up quickly at the right pressure.
Has anyone tried this pump? Or have any good recommendations?
Thanks,

A good friend has a boating / watersports business that involves blowing up big inflatables daily. He has 2 of these and rates them having gone through every other type at a rate of 1 a month. ;) ... these are in my list to get for my latest sib. At32.
A bit less via amazon ... not sure about delivery

Most of us on here run the Bravo BTP12 and use a 7ah alarm battery to power it up. The battery fits in the bravo bag to make it full of portable.
We can very easily drop into a follow my leader scenario and all of us suggest the same product, it’s good when someone throws in a curve ball like Peter has, it certainly sounds like that one has some proven use/abuse about it too
It looks a nifty pump too

Re: Best pump for T38?
I've just ordered this pump... to go with my new t32 ... and suprod wheels..which I still need to get out and use!
When I have both up and running I'll post some pics etc.
I have had 3 or 4 bravo pumps over the years. I always thought they were seconds from death each time I used them! Time for a cheaper change that I'm assured is better . With the new access to inflatable sups running at 20psi I think finally the pump market is catching up.

I was looking at a couple of Bravo's, thought they were one of the best but all I have seen from reviews is how people weren't happy with them. Now I guess that comes done to if that's the one that most people get you will see more reviews.
Thanks for posting and giving your point of view, it was a decision that I had to make today, the Bravo or this other one. So I thought I would give this other one a go.

Re: Best pump for T38?
I picked this pump up today from my local dealer. £126 all in. Pumped up my brand new T38 today to see what it was like. I must say, I'm quite impressed. Got it blown up in no time. Thanks again for the recommendation.PeterM wrote: ↑27 Jan 2022, 16:15I've just ordered this pump... to go with my new t32 ... and suprod wheels..which I still need to get out and use!

Just need to fit my launching wheels this weekend and I'm ready to go!

Re: Best pump for T38?
Dont get me wrong there is nothing ' wrong' with the bravo range . I do regret selling the ones I had - mainly when I look at the prices of even the 12v wired ones ! - let alone the ones with the built in battery ! My decathlon one still works well , but the iSUPS I have need 18psi and it only goes to 15 ( a good excuse to buy new stuff anyday !) 
I expect my new pump later today . I'm tempted to get the T32 out sunday for an initial run !

Re: Best pump for T38?
Very interesting. I'm looking to order a pump for my Honwave38 and this one looks decent. - Do you know roughly how long it took to inflate? Is yours a fully inflatable with air floor, or rigid hull?
