Product Information

Other cool features include advanced safety valves that protect your boat from over-inflation, anchoring stainless steel D-rings, towing rings, soft carry handles, a splash guard, a perimeter grab rope, and an epoxy coated marine-grade wood transom. For the safety of you and your passengers and the longevity of your inflatable boat, you should never overload your boat with too much weight. Overloading can cause the boat to lose air or become less stable, resulting in tipping or sinking. Patching the Boat

The safety lines are sturdily attached and splash guards make up part of the rubbing strake protecting the sides and keeping water out of the boat. There are no safety lines or a bow handle, so carrying the boat when inflated is less natural than some of the others and it’s the second most expensive. The EU requires this certification on any recreational boat entering its waters, so it’s of note for anyone looking to take their inflatable boat with them to travel within the area.

An Inflatable Boat Buying Guide

It’s an ironic linguistic quirk that a tender should be so regularly treated without much tenderness. Even a few hours’ use on a clean slipway incurred scuffs, dings, grubby marks and a few minor tears to the carry bags. Look for a protectant spray that’s formulated to add an extra protective layer to your inflatable boat to keep its material from becoming faded and brittle. Storing When carrying your boat to the water, have enough people carry it by its handles or rope so that it’s not touching the ground. Doing so can help you avoid puncturing the boat.

This NMMA-certified (National Marine Manufacturers Association) boat is inflatable and portable, yet sturdy and long-lasting thanks to the durable Tritech™ material. The 3-ply reinforced superior-strength, high-density, UV-resistant Tritech™ material makes it strong and durable but also keeps it lightweight and flexible for excellent control and maneuverability on the water. The inflated floor is a drop stitch construction whereby thousands of fine fibers connect two pieces of durable PVC for superior strength and durability. The marine-grade plywood transom with molded motor mount can handle a 10 HP motor for high-speed cruising (motor not included). Follow this simple rule of thumb: rigid inflatable boats are suitable for rough waters. Whereas full inflatable boats tend to be more comfortable in chilly waters where you’re having a cold beverage on a hot sunny day, and simply enjoying the moment. Power And Load Capacity The safety lines are robustly attached to the hull, which is a feature that will pay dividends long-term, but adds a bit of weight.Never exceed the weight and person capacity recommendations for your boat. The manufacturer puts these restrictions in place to ensure a safe ride and operation. Exceeding these limits can cause the boat to sink or tip. If your boat has rigid pieces for its flooring, you might find it easier to install them before you fully inflate the sides. Using the Boat If you’re limited in space in your vehicle or simply prefer not to have to trailer a boat with your car, you’ll likely enjoy the portability of inflatable rafts.
