As you will see

when you watch the video below, assembling inflatable boats takes a few neat tricks, that you would be wise to take note of. Particularly if your dinghy or sportsboat is new.

Learn from Chuck

However, what becomes evident from Chuck’s informative narrative, is that once the two tubes are semi inflated and the decking or floor has been slotted in place – look out for the time and hassle saving tip! Then most of the work is complete.

Storage

Depending on your storage space availability, will dictate how often you assemble or disassemble your boat. The less space you have, the quicker you will be come at the process!

Filling the tubes

Once you have inflated the hull to 3 PSI, then you can go onto to complete filling the tubes. It’s best to inflate each one partially, then move over to the other. This means the PVC material is not under any undue pressure.

Time for action

Now you have your inflatable boat boat for action! As you can see from the accessories below you can choose to name your boat, apply protection, or buy a protective cover for your dingy too! All in stock from West Marine – right here on this site!

Is Your Inflatable Dinghy Meeting Your Needs?Time To Meet The HP 310

Is your RIB this versatile?

Versatility is the aim of any inflatable dinghy. They are general purpose support for your boating.

They are:

“multi functional”, “compact”, “hard wearing” are phrases often heard in praise of reliable rib boats.

Materials

These days materials used in production mean longer life, better wear and value for money. The leader in the field of customer feedback led innovation wins. PVC is used because it is able to maintain high pressure inflation.

High pressure inflation means better performance. Joins in the tubes of the RIB are welded ultrasonically. Resulting in strong bonds being formed.

Design

The HP 310 has a double floor. The interior is nonstick and rigid. The exterior is a V shaped inflatable section, which means the boat handles better when planning. Which brings us to the next criteria which your inflatable boat needs to meet.

Spacious

Space is a priority. You need space. Endless trips to the jetty and back, running crew and gear around is a waste of time. This design can take four people and there is lots of space in the thirteen foot tender.

Power And Handling

Lets get down to the power and handling in the 310. With a fifteen horse engine you reach a planning speed quickly. The V shaped inflatable section of the hull means you transition onto the plane easily. The bow remains low to the water and handling improves on the plane.

You can easily stow this compact, folding tender solution. It fits neatly away for use time and again. West Marine state that if it is maintained well this dynamic craft will last at least five years.

That is the information you need buy your 310 today!
