WHICH FLOOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
High Pressure Air or Aluminum??
High Pressure Air Deck
Floor - Positives
- boats with air decks lighter than those
with the aluminum floor
- the high pressure air decks are a stable,
stiff platform when inflated. Stand on it, walk on it, jump
on it! It's only slightly less stiff than our aluminum floor
- effortless setup and takedown-just inflate
and go, deflate and stow!
- planes faster and more easily than comparable
aluminum floor boats due to its light weight and rigidity
- air decks absorbs vibration better and
is more comfortable to kneel on compared to aluminum.
Aluminum Floor - Positives
- boats with aluminum floors are heavier
than those with air deck floors but lighter than the wood floors.
- makes the boat a bit stiffer and less flexible.
- highly recommended for all models larger
(and including) the SD330, especially if you wish to "plane"
your boat at higher speeds
- floor can't be punctured, torn or ripped
Conclusion:
- We recommend the High Pressure Air
deck:
- If you planning to inflate and deflate
your boat often
- If you are concerned about overall boat
weight
- If you are looking to be "mobile", the
Air Deck is lighter, deflates and folds compactly.
- We recommend the Aluminum Floor:
- If you are concerned about overall boat
weight but want the features of the air deck floors.
- if you will regularly have sharp objects
on the floor of the boat (to include large dogs!)
- if you will keep your boat inflated most
of the time
