Honda Honwave T32-IE3 Inflatable Boat – 3.2m, Air V-Floor, Inflatable Keel, 4-Person Capacity

The Honda Honwave T32-IE3 is one of the most popular models in the range because it manages to deliver space and performance similar to that of 3m rigid-floor boats, but in a package that remains easily portable. At 3.2m long yet under 40kg in weight, the T32-IE3 appeals to those who want a larger boat for family outings or more serious fishing without dealing with trailers or storage hassles. The inflatable floor and V-keel give this model excellent seakeeping – it rides smoothly and tracks straight like a much bigger vessel.

With a payload of 735 kg, the Honwave T32-IE3 comfortably carries 4 adults and their gear, making it perfect for full-day excursions or even multi-day expeditions on big lakes and rivers. The interior space is extended (2.29 m internal length), allowing the crew to distribute gear and sit comfortably. When it comes to stability, the inflatable keel shapes a pronounced V-hull that cuts through water efficiently, reducing pounding in waves. Because of the air floor, the boat also benefits from natural shock absorption – vibrations are minimized, which is especially appreciated during longer cruises.

The quality of the Honwave T32-IE3 shines in its resilience to use. The boat is built to last – from the tough PVC fabric to the reinforced edges. The protective rub rail around the tubes guards against knocks during docking, and the solid transom holds motors up to 15 HP securely. Honda’s engineers have ensured the outboard mount is positioned low (for short shaft engines), which improves the center of gravity and gives better stability at speed.

At the maximum 15 HP, the T32-IE3 becomes a real rocket on the water – it planes easily with 4 people and can reach speeds suitable for quick crossings or towing fun. At the same time, if you prefer a more relaxed ride, even with an 8–10 HP engine this boat will perform confidently and sip fuel. Handling remains excellent – you can navigate narrow waterways or beach up on shore with surprising ease for a boat of this size.

Like every Honwave, the T32-IE3 comes ready for action – with an included pump, pressure gauge, repair kit, oars, and carry bag. This allows you to set it up and pack it away quickly. For many campers and adventurers, this model is the “gold standard” – big enough to do any job on the water, yet small enough to travel with them anywhere on land.

Recommended Uses and Tips:

• Family holidays and long cruises – plenty of room for 4 people and gear, ideal for exploring large lakes, wide rivers, or coastal waters during vacations
• Serious fishing – a stable platform for four anglers, with enough room for tackle, coolers, and the catch; the boat can move between spots quickly, saving time
• Group sports and snorkeling – can be used for snorkeling outings or water fun; with a higher-powered engine, it’s capable of towing small inflatables (e.g. a two-person tube)
• Waterway expeditions and camping – great for travelers navigating various waterways (rivers, canals) with camping gear; the boat is comfortable for multi-day journeys with stopovers
• Recommended engine: 10–15 HP (max 15 HP) – at 15 HP the boat achieves maximum performance and speed; 10 HP provides an excellent balance of power and economy when less loaded
