subject: Questions To Consider When Purchasing Inflatable Boats [print this page] For years it was thought that only the wealthy or those who are truly passionate about boating could own a boat. There have always been high costs and worries associated with regular boats such as; how will I transport it? Where will I store it? What are the limits what I can do with it? These questions can easily be answered when considering the purchase of an inflatable boat. These boats are durable, safe, affordable, and extremely versatile. However, there are many types of inflatable boats on the market today. Therefore, there are questions that should be considered when planning to purchase such a vessel.
One of the first things to consider is what and where it will primarily be used. Some are made for more sport related activities, like kayaks. Others can be versatile enough to be used for a variety of things. Before purchasing, one should verify if it will be an adventure boat, or will it be for leisure activities such as fishing and simply being out on the water? Considering these questions help to determine what style of boat to buy as well as the extra features that may be sought after for the boat.
Another question to ask is how many people will be on the boat? Some boats are small enough for only one person to use. Others are large enough to handle quite a few people. For example, it may not to wise to purchase a single person kayak when friends and family may want to take the boat out for a good time. Likewise, a large boat with many features may not be needed by a single person who plans on going it alone.
Portability and storage are also important factors to consider when thinking about such a purchase. Purely inflatable boats are easy enough to store considering the fact that they simply need to be deflated and then folded up. These can even be transported in a car trunk without the requirement of special mounting equipment. Storage is equally easy. Since it can be folded up, it can be kept in a garage, storage shed, or basement between uses.
Last, but certainly not least, is the question of price. Budget is almost always a factor in determining what can and can't be purchased. Fortunately, inflatable boats cost far less than a standard boat. Therefore, a nice boat with numerous features can be bought at a fraction of the cost of a solid boat.
Overall, the choice is ultimately up to whoever is buying the boat.
