Despite the rowing type of an inflatable boat, the PVC from which the cylinders are made is quite dense and reliable (36 cm in diameter). There are two hard seats and a handrail cable.

Another successful model of an inflatable PVC boat, from a well-known St. Petersburg manufacturer, the Hunterboat company.

Video - overview

Three-seater motor-rowing PVC boat Leader Taiga T-320 is of high quality, which is confirmed by the official manufacturer's warranty for the material (3 years) and adhesive seams (24 months). The inflatable boat is very convenient for fishing thanks to the spacious cockpit 2.22 X 0.66 m and a rigid floorboard 9 mm thick - you can easily spin in it while standing. The built-in transom provided in this model is designed for a 10 hp engine. with., which allows you to move through still water at a speed of up to 30 km / h (provided that there are two passengers in the boat).

Excellent speed characteristics and handling are also confirmed in the reviews of many owners. The opportunity to bring the boat to full readiness in the shortest possible time is also positively assessed - everything takes no more than 10-15 minutes. The Taiga T-320 inflatable boat is characterized by increased safety and comfort. The mobile seats are durable, made of multi-layer plywood, resistant to moisture. The only drawback that the owners noticed was the absence of a valve on the transom for the possibility of removing water from the cockpit.

Large cylinder diameter of 53 cm and an inflatable keel allow this PVC boat to be used for fishing (walking) on ​​the sea or navigable rivers. A decent width of the roomy cockpit (80 cm) allows you to easily accommodate 6-7 people (carrying capacity is 820 kg). The transom is laminated with plastic and has a drain valve. The presence of an aluminum floorboard (collapsible design) allows several passengers to stand quietly in the boat at the same time. Provided on the Badger Heavy Duty 370 AL are oarlocks with oars and holders (everything is included). In a boat of this level, it is not surprising that there is an anchor eye, there is also a lifeline and, of course, stringers for payols.

Judging by the reviews, it is not at all necessary to install the most powerful engine (25 hp) - it is quite possible to get by with 20 “horses”. The exceptional strength of the inflatable boat has been tested in different conditions (according to the owners, sometimes very harsh). We can safely say that it does not require regular pumping, even with temperature fluctuations and daily operation for two weeks. The Badger Heavy Duty inflatable boat is durable, has good endurance and stability even on a big wave.

Rejecting any attempts to become a small vessel for a leisurely river cruise, the Fregat M-430 PVC boat takes pride of place in the ranking. While not showing outstanding results in terms of basic performance, it boasts exceptional reliability, since it is based on the use of reinforcement of the base material. The maximum load capacity of the 425 cm model is 900 kilograms, and therefore it can easily withstand up to six people on board.

User reviews, in general, are complementary, but there is a nuance to which they pay special attention. The use of reinforcing inserts negatively affected the gravity of the vessel, and with, in fact, smaller dimensions, its mass “went” to the region of 100 kilograms. Fortunately, no one forces you to drag the boat (or on yourself, as is the case with 1- and 2-seater models) - the manufacturers carefully included a set of wheels for installation on the transom in the set.

PVC boat Mercury Adventure Standard 3 with a capacity of up to 5 people is characterized by increased comfort and optimal equipment. The oversized bladders and the strong, armored marine plywood bottom provide maximum comfort. To protect the inflatable structure from high pressure, sand-proof blast valves are provided.

The model is equipped with a stationary transom, designed to install a powerful 20 hp motor. With.

The four-seat ZODIAC Cadet Compact 300 features a rigid body and anti-slip flooring for enhanced durability and puncture resistance. The boat with a carrying capacity of 450 kg is made of durable 1100 g / m2 PVC, the edges of the cylinders are reinforced, splash guards are provided. The presence of a folding stationary transom allows the use of a motor (up to 10 hp).

For the convenience of passengers, handles on the cylinders are provided, there is a towing eye, and water that has got into the cockpit is conveniently removed through a special valve. The model demonstrates the best accelerating dynamics and seaworthiness. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the unregulated fastening of the bench.

PVC boat with a low pressure inflatable bottom (LPND) has a fairly spacious cockpit. Its dimensions are 2.3 X 0.68, which is ideal for fishing or hunting groups of 3-4 people. At the same time, NDND provides better stability on the water, and easy access to gliding - the boat quickly picks up speed and keeps the set course well. The cylinders are divided into three compartments, which increases safety in case of damage.

The owners of this boat speak positively about their choice.It is practical and unpretentious in operation, and during transportation it is compact and light - the weight is only 31 kg. The use of five-layer PVC gives good strength and resistance to minor damage. The transom perfectly holds the engine up to 10 hp. s., which, judging by the reviews, is quite enough for this inflatable boat even with the maximum possible load (no more than 400 kg).

This inflatable boat has quite a few advantages, and the most important of them is the high density of PVC from which the cylinders are made (900 g/m²). Thanks to this, you can not be afraid of the branches of flooded trees and other objects that can be found on the water surface or on the shore - it will not be easy to pierce it. In addition, the Aqua 3400 NDND has an inflatable bottom, which will add convenience. At the same time, it will not take much of the depth of the cockpit, because the diameter of the cylinders is prudently made larger - 42 cm. In addition, the low pressure design is close in strength to hard plastic (plywood) flooring, which provides huge advantages.

The owners, who preferred the Aqua 3400 NDND, explain their choice not only due to the affordable price (this inflatable boat has the best price in this category). Positive ratings in the reviews deserve such characteristics of the boat as handling, lightness (32 kg), and good equipment. It includes a life line, a water drain valve, oarlocks and oars, as well as a repair kit, and, of course, a pump. In addition, there is a PVC fender along the perimeter of the inflatable boat, which only adds to the reliability.

This model from Solar is rather strange. On the one hand, its cost is quite high, which guarantees excellent quality. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. On the other hand, some elementary details are missing here, such as a valve for draining water. And this is a little discouraging, given that the leader of the rating at a cost of almost 20 thousand less, has the same dimensions, good quality and many useful "goodies".

But the Solar 380 has one, but very important for some, advantage - the ability to quickly accelerate. High speed became possible thanks to the inflatable keel, which provides gliding. Also, we must not forget about the possibility of installing a motor with a power of up to 30 hp. In general, a great model for lovers of speed. But if you mostly sit quietly waiting for the next fish, check out the next model.

Already the color of this boat betrays its main purpose - hunting and fishing. And there is everything for this. There is enough space - according to the passport up to 5 people, but during fishing, 2-3 people will most comfortably accommodate. Carrying capacity is the best in the class - 689 kg. There are small storage niches, as well as bow and parking awnings, providing easy storage and comfort. Also, they did not forget about very useful little things, such as an anchor eye and a valve for draining water. The latter is extremely necessary, because the weight of the boat is almost 57 kg, so it will be hard to simply turn the boat over. Yes, and the valve is simply more convenient.

By the way, weight is one of the main problems of this boat. Every now and then you come across reviews where users complain about high weight.Also worth noting is the flimsy bag for carrying the boat - it can break on the first use.
