Our verdict

A large, heavy-duty inflatable boat for groups, with a high load rating and reinforced seams and transom. The listing leaves out hull length and motor rating, so confirm both before buying.

Overview

A multi-layer seam, a rigid transom with a stabilizer reinforcement and a hull stabilizer bar near the V-hull are the parts that define this PVC inflatable. The kit includes the hull, floor, paddle and pump.

Reinforced seams and a braced transom make it suited to a motor and a full load. The weight and the package size are large, so storage and hauling need planning. Length and motor ratings are only partly shown in the specs.

Who it's for

Boaters carrying a crew with a motor, who can handle heavy packages and a drive to the water, are the fit. Someone wanting a light, single-person craft should look at something smaller.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High listed weight capacity
  • Reinforced layered seams
  • Braced transom for outboard use
  • Hull stabilizer bar near the bow
Cons
  • Heavy, two large packages
  • Hull length not in the specs
  • Motor rating not in the specs
  • Warranty detail not given

Performance notes

Seam construction and the transom determine how the hull holds under a motor and a full load. The V-hull front and the stabilizer bar are meant to hold the structure steady and the floor in place at speed. Pressure and trim still decide ride quality on the water.
