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 you may think what can be so remarkable about a glorified inner tube, but have you taken a look at Inflatable lately?

They come in all kinds of sizes, they are really sturdy and the while they are not giving them away, they certainly are affordable. Can you believe that some of the Inflatable Boats out there can have a bunch of holes in them and still not sink? Would not want to try that with a regular boat.

They stand behind them too. Some of the companies that make them offer a 5 year warranty if the boat has any defects. If you own one of those big boats and are looking for a Life Boat, you have to see the Inflatables. You can store in under a bench in your boat with no problem.

The floors are even pretty sturdy now too. On some of the models, the bottoms are rigid, just like walking on the floor of your house. I had a Dinghy that I bought about 15 years ago and you could not stand up in that thing, no how.

After I came home after the Boat Show I went onto the computer so I could check out the prices of the Inflatables to compare them to what I saw at the show and I found an ever better deal online than was at the show check out the links below.

Yes, I did order one and it took 6 days to get to me and I saved about $100 off of the Boat Show sale price and it came with the 5 year warranty. Just want to give you a heads up here, if you are looking into an Inflatable Boat, some companies will charge you a lower price and then stick it to you with the warranty. The way I see it is if you have a quality product you should not be afraid to offer the 5 year warranty and you should not be charging extra for it.

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.

What ever you are into whether it is just for fun, or hunting, fishing, birding whatever, you will be pleased with an Inflatable Boat. I know I plan on taking my Inflatable hunting with me this year and leaving the canoe behind.
