Inflatable Boats- Not Just Dinghies

Many boat buyers see inflatable boats as just dinghies and move on, but there are inflatable boats for all applications.
There are inflatable boats you can use in the rivers
Such as high quality Achilles River Boats

There are inflatable boats you can use with you RV
Such as the Zodiac Cadet Compact and Achilles HB300FX
Both have a folding transom and stow fairly flat making them ideal for motor homes and RVs, but if you need something that folds up even smaller you can get boats such as
Zodiac Fastroller ACTI-V and the Achilles LSI Models

A great weekend boat or tender is an Inflatable with wooden or aluminum floor boards, the floor boards provide better rigidity than an air floor boat (when properly inflated) but the boat will still break down to stow in a relatively small space some of the models you may consider are
Zodiac Cadet , Achilles SPD, and Achilles LEX

Looking for a Rigid Hull Tender (RIB) for your boat or to use in the lake, you can choose from models
Like these
Achilles HB Series Boats, Zodiac Cadet RIB Series Boats and Caribe C Series Boats

But most people know about those models and what you can do with them, people want to know about bigger boats ones you can fish from, pull someone on a tube in, relax and sunbathe in and use as a main family boat
You could look to these models to fill those needs
Zodiac Pro Series Boats
Zodiac Pro Open Series Boats
Zodiac Bay Runner Series Boats

Inflatable boats also serve as commercial use boats world wide in everything from Swift Water Rescue to transport boats. Companies and individuals turn to the stability of inflatable boats when they want the safest boats. Inflatable boats are more buoyant than aluminum boats that are often used in the same applications.

Zodiac Pro Series Boats

Today I want to talk to you about a versatile RIB (rigid inflatable boat), the Zodiac Pro Series Boats offer a range of sizes, 2 color choices in one fabric choice and one color choice in the other fabric choice. In addition they also offer the boats in a host of ways ranging from open with no seating for use with a tiller steer motor to fully rigged with many seating configurations and power options.

The boats also feature a removable tube set making them ideal for people in commercial settings, it allows them to purchase and extra tube set that can be put on the boat if the original is punctured and in need of repair. This keeps them working while the tube set is being repaired.

This boat is now offered in a series called the Bayrunner which provides a different seating style to make it a family friendly Bay style boat. Zodiac Pro Series boats start at 13'9" and go up to 20'8".

Triad Marine will be happy to talk to you about your options when choosing a Zodiac Pro Series boat and how to make it the perfect boat for your application.

Other advantages of the inflatable boats are the stability , buoyancy, and weight. The lighter weigh will allow you to use a smaller tow vehicle as well as make it more manageable in the long run. Inflatable boats can be used anywhere you would use a fiberglass or aluminum boat. Just remember to care for them properly and run them inflated to the proper pressure.

Come and see the Zodiac Pro 500 boat at Triad Marine we have the open models here leaving all of the options up to you! The Pro 500 is 15'5" in length and can take a maximum of a 70 horse power motor. Let us help you decide which way the Pro 500 will work best for whatever you do on the water.
