Overview
On the deck of a larger boat, a tender like this Shark inflates from a carry bag and builds up with an aluminum floor and side rails. Heat-welded PVC forms the tubes, and the kit includes a bench seat with a cushion and two oars.
The reason to buy is a complete tender in one bag, with a rigid floor for standing and the oars, pump and repair patches included. The limitation is weight and setup effort, since the boat is heavy for an inflatable and must be pumped and assembled each time.
Who it's for
Cruiser owners who need a shore tender for several people will use the floor and the capacity. Paddlers wanting a light packable raft, or anyone needing a larger motor rating, should look at other boats.
Pros and cons
- Aluminum floor with side rails
- Seat, oars and pump included
- Repair patches in the kit
- Heat-welded UV-resistant PVC
- Heavy for an inflatable
- Needs pumping and assembly
- Motor use limited to the stated size
- Flotation class is buoyancy aid
Performance notes
A rigid floor spreads weight and helps the hull hold its shape, which makes it track and stand more stably than a soft-floor raft. Heat-welded seams avoid glue failure. Wind and chop affect an inflatable more than a rigid hull, so load carefully.
