Finally decided on which boat I'll be going with. I decided upon the Cadet 340 Solid, since the solid floor should perform better as a primary boat with a >10hp engine (Zodiac only recommends a 10hp...

Are you sure the Fish N Hunt is made in China with all glue? It's just an OD green version of the Bombard Typhoon. I thought Bombard wasn't a bad brand??

Edit: Nevermind, Bombard's own website...

After a little investigation i dont think that's the case. It's a Defender designed and built model. It's just too heavy for its size, and the reps over at Defender are way less helpful than the ones...

Does anyone have experience with the PVC Defender 380? It looks way better built and sportier than the 360 Fastroller. The only thing is it weighs 220lbs instead of 100lbs (slightly more than double...

^That is the *exact* same idea i had! That looks awesome. Happy to see it's an idea that actually works, there really needs to be something covering an air floor. Running it bare seems like asking...

The Seabright 380 air floor looks a little roomier than the Cadet 360, a little heavier though at 130lbs vs 97lbs for the Zodiac. How does the quality compare between the two? The Seabright is...

Well I called up a whole bunch of the dealers on Zodiac's list top performing dealers, they pretty much told me the Futura is *not* a boat that lends itself to portability and urged me to look at the...

Good to know about the Zodiac. I had a dealer tell me that the Saturn boats were just as good if not better quality than the Zodiacs he used to own/sell, which I was skeptical from the start about. I...

So you don't think I should buy the Futura if I intend to deflate it every time? Realistically, the boat will get used a max 4 times per month. And when it isn't summer, the garage is heated so it'd...

How durable are these Futuras? How many years of use can I expect to get out of it? It would just be casual use a few times per month up north in the Great Lakes. I just want to make sure that a boat...

I'm really liking the Futura MK2. I certainly would install launch wheels, I just want to be sure that a boat I'm spending $4.5k on will last me a good long time. I think the non compact version...

It seems the Futuras represent what is the most you can ever get out of an air deck floor, but darn expensive at $4-5k. Why do you recommend the MK2C over the slightly larger MK2?

The F-ribs are neat but the companies selling them don't seem to have much in the way of a support structure in the US.

Right now I'm sort of looking at the Zodiac Fastroller 360 and Azzurro Mare...

Portable 2-3 Person Boat
