Went to a boat show in Portland, Maine yesterday which was very uninteresting except for the inflatables by Coastal Inflatable Boats. Very impressive and great prices! Can't remember the owner's name but he works for the Post Office and was looking for something to retire into so he went to Korea and worked a deal to have inflatable boats made to his specifications. Some of the impressive features include:
"New generation PVC" Outer layer contains additives designed to eliminate the "brown & sticky" issues Marine grade plywood transom Deep V hull Rub guards to protect the tube bottoms An extra layer of fabric on the bottom to protect against chafe A rubbing strake on the bottom to help protect again abrasions when dragging the boat onto a sandy beach 2 stern carrying handles located on tubes outside boat but near transom Inflatable or aluminum floor
The prices are incredible: 7'7" $699 8'6" 849 9'6" 949 10'10" 1049 12" 1189 12'7" 1359 15'5" 1659
Aluminum floor is extra
This will be my next inflatable.
