Product Information

The USCG more commonly certifies RIBs and traditional rafts rather than regular inflatable rafts, but some inflatables are heavy-duty enough for recognition by the USCG’s certification standards. The Sea Eagle 9 Inflatable Boat is a lightweight, affordable fishing boat that can hold up to 4 people. It’s made by a reputable company and has been around for over twenty years. This inflatable boat is perfect for those who enjoy fishing or just lounging on the lake by themselves with their friends.

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. The SD330 is constructed from an advanced Korean-made 1100 Denier PVC fabric with reinforced polyester layers for increased tear, puncture, and abrasion resistance. It’s built around three separate air chambers, with a special drop stitch floor that can handle 9 psi of pressure, making for sturdy rigid floor. This floor keeps the boat lightweight and boot performance, and makes it easier to assemble and deflate too. Although you can damage a traditional boat, it’s much more difficult to puncture one than it is an inflatable boat. Columbia Drainmaker III Trail Shoe: This trail shoe is perfect for rugged terrain near water sources. It features Omni-Grip wet traction technology which will help keep your child’s foot planted on whatever surface they are walking on. It also has a Techlite midsole which provides superior cushioning and energy We mentioned a bit about semi-rigid and inflatable floors earlier. Still, here we will provide you with a more thorough look. That’s because we want to give you a clarified vision of what your perfect inflatable boat looks like.The Bestway Hydro Force Mirovia Pro isn’t just a blow-up boat for larking around on the lake in. It’s a professional boat that offers serious performance, comfort, luxury, and fun. It’s more expensive than many others on this list, but it’s actually a small price for the amount of boat that you get. Occasionally cleaning your inflatable boat with a cleaner designed for its material will ensure that no buildup stays on long enough to damage the boat. When it comes to choosing an inflatable boat, you need to pay attention to the size. They can be quite large, and depending on your needs, bigger isn’t necessarily better. For example, a larger raft will require more hands to paddle it. A larger dinghy may require a larger (and more expensive) motor to power it. And of course, the larger a boat is, the harder it is to assemble, deflate, and store. An inflatable boat may not last past the 10-year mark, especially if you don’t stay on top of regular inspections and maintenance or use it outside of its recommended operation. Inflatable Boat Certifications An inflatable boat or raft is usually one of the lowest-priced and smallest inflatable rafts, commonly holding up to four people.

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. Excellent Stability On the lower end of the budget for inflatable rafts is the roll-up floor version. These rafts come with slatted floors that roll up when not in use, making them convenient for storage purposes. Inflatable boat usage is mostly self-explanatory, but it’s necessary to understand how to inflate it, use it properly, and repair it before stepping inside. Inflatable sports rafts with inflatable floors function similarly to small sports rafts, except that their outer rim and floor are inflatable. Like roll-up floor rafts, these sports rafts can also roll up for easy storage in your trunk to and from the water. Let’s start with the full inflatable boats. As you already know, they are suitable for chilly waters and tend to be more comfortable. Moreover, they are even cheaper than semi-rigid boats. Yet, keep in mind that the full inflatable boats tend to perform less and are also less durable compared to the semi-rigid boats. That’s why if you’re regularly visiting the lake, the river, or the sea, and you’re fishing more often than not, then you should turn your attention on the semi-rigid boats.This boat is 8.8-feet long, with room for four adults inside and a maximum weight capacity of 1070 pounds. You’ll also find carrying handles, aluminum oar holders, and an aluminum bench seat for comfort while riding.
