Never Mind The Yachts, Inflatable Boats Are More Practical.

By Wyatt Crouch

I am sure you are saying what the? Inflatable Boats are impressive? Yes they are, they are much better than I remember from the last one I had 10 years ago.

Now I know some of you are saying what can possibly be so impressive about a Dinghy, but have you taken a look at them recently?

They now come in various sizes are made really well, they can go pretty much anywhere and the cost is really affordable. Can you imagine that you can actually puncture a bunch of holes in them and they will not loose their air and sink? Its true. They had a demonstration that showed how they are made with air chambers so if one chamber gets punctured the cells next to the one with the hole will not loose air.

The warranty of the better Inflatable Boats is up to 5 years against defects. If you are looking for one as a Life Raft for your Cruiser, these Inflatables can be stored in areas that are comparable to the trunk of a compact car.

Try walking on the bottom of these boats now. I remember a Dinghy I bought about 15 years ago that you could not even stand in because it was like trying to walk on a balloon. These Inflatable Boats now have rigid bottoms that are as solid as walking on the floor of your living room.

When I got back from the show I went right on to the internet to check out the prices so I could compare them to the prices at the show. I found that I can actually get an even better price online that I could at the show. I have given you a few links below so you can get the same deal I did.

I bought one online and it took about a week for it to get to my house and I saved about $100 from the show price. When I was at the show there were many companies there as I am sure you can imagine, but some of them were charging extra for a warranty. Who the heck would but an Inflatable Boat with no warranty? The one I picked up had a 5 year warranty right off the bat. The way I see it the companies that charge extra for the warranty are just doing that to pad their pockets. If the boat is good enough to have a 5 year warranty, but you choose to sell it without a warranty and want to charge me more to get the warranty thats not right.

If you are looking to go into marshes or anywhere else that it would be a challenge for a regular boat, do yourself a favor and look into the Inflatables. You can take them into water that has so many weeds you can not see into it 6 inches. Then when you get to where you want to go you can just pull the boat out and put it on the shore with no problem.

They are great for hunting, fishing, birding or just sightseeing. I don't know about you but whenever I have gone hunting, birding a traditional boat like a canoe is a major undertaking. You can be sure that this fall I will be bringing my new Inflatable Boat with me and leaving the canoe at home.
