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

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.

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

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 !

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?
