The wide range of inflatable boat models makes it difficult to choose the right option, especially if this is your first purchase. Technology has not passed by this industry. Now it is possible to choose high-quality boats Flink , which can last for decades. In order for a model to meet your needs, you need to know what to look for when buying.
Basic selection options
The purpose of the inflatable boat - this is what you need to decide first of all. This can be a recreational vehicle, an extreme swim vehicle, or a fishing boat. Depending on this, you need to pay attention to:
- lifting capacity;
- type;
- weight and size;
- material.
Load capacity is a measure of the permissible load at which the boat can be safely operated. Consider not only the number of passengers, but also the weight of the entire load including the motor. It is better that this indicator be calculated with a margin.
By type, inflatable boats are rowing, motor-rowing and motorized. For fishing on a calm river or quiet lake, it is better to take a rowing boat. If you need a vehicle for any task, then a boat with an outboard transom will be the best option. For long voyages or for strong currents, a model with a motor is suitable. There are also motor vehicles with a rigid keel - they are more durable and maneuverable. To transport such models, a trailer is required, and the high price is not affordable for everyone.
The most common material for inflatable boats is PVC. Unreinforced PVC is suitable only for a beach holiday, but reinforced PVC is very durable and reliable. Quality models are made from reinforced polyvinyl chloride. Inflatable products made of artificial rubber - neoprene - have also proven themselves well. They are durable and reliable, but their high cost is not suitable for everyone.
