Aft inflatable boat: advantages, types, how to choose

Specialization - boating, fishing, hunting (extraction of crabs, sea cucumber, scallop and other underwater fish), exercise (sports, scuba diving).

Fishing is best to choose camouflage or inconspicuous color. When do you plan to sail a long distance, preference is given to models with motors. Rowing models do an excellent job with small distances.

If you have to dive into the water, used boats, equipped with tanks, holding her afloat, preventing overturning when exiting the water. The choice of products is dependent on the purpose and place of use. If the agent will float on a small pond, river or lake, the suitable model with a flat bottom of a light material.

pros

• stably holds water;
• security and reliability;
• it is easily transported;
• heavy-duty;
• simple possession;
• quick assembly and disassembly;
• reasonable price.

Types eight-inflatable boats

Row

Product structure is simple and secure. In case of damage to the side members, the tool will surely keep afloat and move. Since the side consist of separate compartments. The bottom is rigid and inflatable.

Design features - tight jars, which increase the reliability of the housing.

Scope - fishing, hunting, hiking for short distances.

Benefits:

• safety and security;
• economical option;
• Easy transportation;
• a small area of ​​storage space.

On the territory of swimming with a strong current recommended product with outboard transom.

Rowing inflatable model will serve as a worthy while swimming on quiet waters, diving lesson, and in more extreme conditions. Waves up to 30 cm are overcome without problems. For greater reliability, requires an enlarged diameter index cylinders. It will improve the buoyancy, stability.

motor

Boats, calculated on the outboard installation, can be quite different in design, depending on the power and expected operating conditions.

The main difference from the propeller means, represented a tough transom, where the motor is mounted. Engine power causes transom strength and fastening elements.

Cruising Mode - alter, glossiruyuschy. Since the sizes of boats up to 8 people, can not be small, the engine power has values ​​of 20, 35, 40, 60, 90, 150 horsepower.

The product is not so easy to transport, need the help of several people, as the engines weigh 10 - 12 kg.

By European standards, the length of the bottom - more than 3 meters, and the size of the inflation up to 8 people from 4200 to 5200 cm.

pros

• up to 90 km per hour;
• without the possibility of movement of rowing;
• the reliability of the hard bottom;
• swimming over long distances and on the waves;
• simple transport.

How to choose the eight-seat inflatable boat

Size and weight

One of the specific properties of the articles protrudes small-sized transportation in the assembled state. To transport goods in the car or on the shoulder. Therefore, to select a boat provides a means of further transportation to its destination.

Weight without equipment and motor starting from 65 kg (options - 95, 115, 140). With the engine and the complete gear to 220 kg, given for other additional parameters.

Capacity

Inflatable model of 8 seats withstand the load from 790 to 1150, 1250 kg. The upper figure does not mean that you need to load the tool to the limit value. Since even at high engine power, the course of the boat lost speed and limited access to hydroplaning.

Requires reserve duty in half.

Slany keel

Models with soft bottom keel usually equipped for increasing stability when cornering maneuvers on the wave at high wind. The course is directed at the same time the stroke of oars, if you make only one oar stroke direction knock. Kiel prevent deviation from the course of action is similar to the motor.

Most severity of the keel, reduces vibration and pitching, cutting wave does not help planing. For this process, preferably flat bottom. Therefore keel products fit motors with high power.

Keel V-, U-shape provides a smooth ascent to the wave. It needs gliding effect for the flat-bottomed boats with a small capacity engine, or without it.

Transom

Provides security and reliability, therefore, must be durable. It should be taken into account: the thickness, slope, painting, protection.

The thickness of the transom in powerful boats - from 35 mm with a slope of 4-7 degrees for orientation, movement of goods, control of the motor tilt legs. Since the screw is screwed into the water in the horizontal position at maximum speed.

This property ensures a good abutment, ensures a stable operation and efficiency of the engine. The topsheet transom covered with paint, which is composed of an epoxy resin. Such coating reliable than enamel paints. The upper part is protected PVC profile, for protection of plywood, which is a transom.

For solid installation on the transom mounted bolts that are used to tug, riding on the turntables, water skiing.

bottom ceiling

Flooring represented rigid or inflatable bottom.

Hard floor is released in two versions: aluminum sectional waterproof or laminated plywood. Thickness 12mm plywood, consisting of 5 sections which are joined tongue-and-grooves.

Bottom ceiling plywood noiseless compared with aluminum, because during fishing undesirable noise. Bottom ceiling fixed stringer or aluminum profiles, heavy-duty three-layer taped seams PVC.

Inflator bottom consists of individual elements. The shape of the bottom V-shaped, flat floor. When the components are pumped sausage comes out the bottom. This type of bottom ceiling reduces water resistance during the course of the air, increases the ease of control and planing. A armored polyurethane tape will provide the power and reliability.

Cylinders and the size of the cockpit

cylinder parameters affect the seaworthiness of the product.

Important strength cylinders, since on it depends on the swinging property of water. Nominal 240 -250 mbar pressure, and at a value less than this, stability is violated transom outboard motor equipment in planing mode. On the balloons are set to improve the safety valves.

The diameter of the funds depends on navigability. By increasing the size of the balloon decreases cockpit, regardless of the type of boat. For small reservoirs, small wave allowed decrease the volume of the cockpit. When will sail on large bodies of water, the reduction is not allowed.

stitches

Execution of the joints is responsible for the quality, reliability in product use. They should be glued, preferably twice, under conditions: room humidity 30%, temperature of 21 -22 degrees.

The best performance is added to the expensive curing, two-component adhesive. Check this is not possible, it is better to carry out an external inspection of welds. Value sufficient pressure -250 mbar. Welding seams will be more reliable.

Choosing a boat, test bottles its own weight, so they do not prominaetsya.

Features of performance

Colors

Color options are not limited to black or white, camouflage colors, green is also quite popular. There are models with combined inserts. Under the order, you can purchase a yellow, green, red, blue, white product.

Seat

Banks move. For the convenience of passengers to accommodate two or three conventional banks can add one more to the steering console or as a seat. Bank consists of waterproof plywood, installed inside the boat is regulated as required. On the bank attaches a soft lining and a special sealed bag.

paddles

Aluminum, disassembled for easy transport.

Other add-ons:

• bags for carrying boats, bottom ceiling to cover the stringer;
• plastic nose;
• duck mooring;
• remote control plastic bracket;
• locker;
• universal side platform for an awning, sounder, downrigging;
• Anchor ring with a roller;
• Playground under the battery.

Material

The composition contains the majority of boats PVC (polyvinyl chloride with various additives) or reinforced rubber.

rubber cloth

The structure includes a cord twisted synthetic or cotton fabric coated with rubber. Less material is insufficient strength, fracture probability instability seawater. Erasure occurs, rot, mold. A huge advantage - low prices.

PVC

There are two types of materials: welded and glued seam. In most tissues are composed of five layers from top to be covered with polyvinyl chloride.

Material durable, resistant to punctures, cuts, and the influence of the external environment.

Care

• After returning from a voyage, wash the bottom of the boat inside the cold water, then the outer sides. Be sure the sand is washed with a sponge, as it balances harm the surface. Dry goods in the shadow of turning it.
• When storing should not be too tightly packed in the bag of a boat, this creates tension material causes creases.
• Do not stack up with the boat anchor objects that will damage the integrity of the boat.
• When transporting, storing, do not put the product of heavy objects.
• Boat washed with detergent, and kept away from rodents.

malfunctions

Have burned or pierced hook

The hole is closed patch. At the edge of the hole to degrease the surface on the patch applied special glue. Wait 10 minutes. Repeat the application of adhesive, again given time to dry. After 5 minutes the patch adhered to a surface of the article. to release air bubbles.

Torn hole

repair principle is the same. However, the patch is placed on the outside and inside, to increase the reliability need to paste another over the outer patch.

cut the bottom

To correct this fault is more difficult, since the bottom of the first stitched with special thread. And only then carried sealing patches in the above scheme.
