Dinghy style Inflatables were the original
inflatable dinghies. They have an inflatable transom and minimal floor
supports. |
|
 |
Roll-Up style - meaning that the floor of the
inflatable rolls up inside the boat when deflated and stored. This floor
can be simply slats, narrow hinged panels, or the newest type, the high
pressure air floor. These boats, will have inflatable keels (except for
the slat floor). |
 |
Foldable style - meaning that the floor of the
inflatable must be removed from the boat when deflated and stored. This
floor is made up of large panels, which can be of wood, plastic, or
fiberglass. All of these boats have inflatable keels. |
 |
Basic RIB style - meaning that the inflatable
has a one piece rigid hull. These boats cannot be folded. The air can be
let out and the tubes pulled inboard to reduce the size for storage.
Most of today's RIBS are of fiberglass, however, aluminum is also
available. |
 |
Any of the above type Inflatables package with an outboard motor. |
 |
DELUXE RIB style - This is a RIB with steering
console and seating. Many of the newer designs will have built-in fuel
tanks. These boats are comparable to the fiberglass runabouts, except
they are more stable, lighter, and in most cases have more seating room. |
 |
A Deluxe Rib packaged with a Motor rigged and ready to go. |
 |
This is a Deluxe RIB as above, but with an inboard
JET or Inboard Outboard for power. Gas or Diesel power is available. |
 |
Any Inflatable Boat or Package that was designed for use
commercially, generally heavy duty units. |
 |
A unit design specifically for life saving, not general use. |
 |
Simply a 2-stroke outboard (uses an oil gas mix, oil injection) |
 |
Simply a 4-stroke outboard (uses straight gas, oil is in crank case) |
