2. PREPARING YOUR QUICKBOAT
FOR YOUR ADVENTURE
In this chapter you will learn how to assemble your Quick-
boat, attach an outboard motor, pack away your Quickboat
and keep your Quickboat beautiful.
2.1 ASSEMBLING YOUR QUICKBOAT
The easiest way to learn how to assemble your Quickboat
is to watch James’ assembly guide on YouTube. You can
nd it at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=3LbFQybP38E
or
just Google “How to assemble your Quickboat”.
Please note that the foredeck assembly has changed since
the video was developed. Please follow the instructions in
this guide to build the foredeck section of your Quickboat.
IMAGE 1. The Quickboat is packed in two bags; the long
bag with the hull and the short bag with the other pieces
that make up your Quickboat.
IMAGE 2. Open the short Quickboat bag and lay each
piece of your Quickboat out as if you are building the boat
without the hull. Keep the black padding aside to use when
you are packing the boat away.
IMAGE 3. Lay the pieces in the following order:
1. Motor plate
2. Transom
3. 2 x power transfer poles
4. Skipper’s seat (the one with the Quickboat logo on it)
5. Extender bar
6. Crew member’s seat
7. Cross brace
8. Nose cone
9. Foredeck plate
IMAGE 4. Open your Quickboat hull bag (the long one)
and place the hull next to the other pieces of the boat.
Before you start to build your Quickboat, you need to
assemble the foredeck and the skipper’s seat.
Assemble the foredeck
The foredeck is asembled from three parts: the cross
brace, the foredeck plate and the nose cone.
IMAGE 5. Unfold the foredeck. Slot the triangular shaped
foredeck neatly into the groove on the cross brace.
IMAGE 6. Pick up the nose cone and slot the groove of the
nose cone into place onto the foredeck.
IMAGE 7. To complete the structure, thread the white strap
through both loops of high tensile strap. Secure this strap
by threading through both metal rings, passing back over
the rst ring and threading through the second. Pull down
rmly to ensure the foredeck is secure (IMAGE 8 a-c).
Image 5. Place foredeck plate in the cross brace
Image 6. Place the nose cone on top of the foredeck

Assemble the Skipper´s Seat
IMAGE 9 a-c. The skipper´s seat has two holes and two
power transfer poles. Lock each of the power transfer
poles into the holes on the edge of the skipper´s seat by
inserting a pole into the hole and twisting clockwise. They
are locked into place when the white tongue sits rmly
within the blue groove.
IMAGE 10 a-c. Now you are ready to assemble your
Quickboat. Open the hull. Place one end of the extender
bar gently into the extender bar padding located under the
gunnel (the top rim of the boat) in the middle of the hull.
Gently pull the hull apart and secure it open by placing the
other end of the extender bar into the extender bar padding
on the opposite side of the hull.
Always assemble your Quickboat starting in the following
order:
• Transom
• Motor plate
• Skipper´s seat with power transfer poles
• Crew member’s seat
• Foredeck with cross brace and nose cone

IMAGE 11A. You start with the transom on the back of the
Quickboat. You will notice two ´T-Pivots´ on either side of
the transom. The two ´T-Pivots´ make a bayonet tting with
the ´blue´ holes at the rear of the hull.
IMAGE 11b. Gently slot each side into place at the holes.
You must do this with the transom at around a 90 degree
angle. You will need to gently push one of the side panels
out slightly to get each ‘T-pivot’ into the holes in the side
panels.
IMAGE 11c. Once in place the transom will begin to pivot.
There are two locking mechanisms for the transom:
• A stainless steel mechanism on the base of the hull
that locks into another stainless steel part on the base
of the transom;
• The white clips that lock over the stainless steel
mechanism.

IMAGE 12 a. Holding the white catches up, allow the tran-
som to pivot down until the stainless steel catches lock into
place. To ensure the lock is secure don’t be afraid to give
the transom a good nudge in, by pulling it back towards you
as you stand behind the boat.
IMAGE 12 b-c. Now click the white catches down so they
lock over the stainless steel. You will hear a clear ‘click’ as
they lock into place.
IMAGE 13 a-b. Fold the white membrane over the transom
and secure with the velcro.
IMAGE 14. Now place the blue motor plate over the two
blue catches. Ensure the shorter edge of the motor plate
is on the inside of the boat.

IMAGE 15 a-b. Pick up the skipper´s seat with the
locked-in power transfer poles and place the power
transfer poles over the blue catches protruding above
the motor plate.
IMAGE 16 a-c Gently allow the seat to pivot down and
lock it into place by ‘clicking’ all four of the white seat
catches into place.

IMAGE 17 a-c. Next, click and lock the crew member’s seat
into place as you did the skipper´s seat – ensuring
all four clips are properly inserted and locked into place.
As you do this you will notice the extender bar becomes
slack as the boat becomes rigid. You can now remove
the extender bar and pack this back into the boat bag.
IMAGE 18a. Take the foredeck over to the boat and line the
nose cone up with the ‘bullets’ at the end of each gunnel
(image 18a). Slip the nose cone over each of the ‘bullets’.
Ensure the cross brace clip ‘tongues’ are on the inside of
the hull when slipping the nose cone over the ‘bullets’.
IMAGE 18 b-c. Once the nose cone is secured over
the ‘bullets’, click the clips on each side panel into place
attaching the foredeck to the hull.
IMAGE 19. And there you have your Quickboat. Ready
to have some fun!!
