Definiție
The Aquafarer AirDeck 360 is a 12' (360 cm) inflatable boat with a drop-stitch air deck floor, rated for up to 15 hp outboard engines.
Problemă
You need a portable boat that packs small for yacht storage or car transport. Slat-floor boats take time to assemble; roll-up floors lack rigidity.
Cum funcționează
The air deck inflates to form a rigid flat platform without assembly. Triple-layer PVC provides durability at 35 kg weight. Three independent air chambers provide redundancy. The transom is rated for 15 hp.
Soluție
Inflate tubes first, then air deck. The high-pressure air deck creates a rigid, comfortable floor. The boat rolls up for compact storage.

Întrebări frecvente
How does the air deck compare to an aluminum floor? ▼
Air decks are more comfortable, lighter, and pack smaller. Aluminum floors provide a more rigid platform for planing at higher speeds.
Can I stand and fish on the AirDeck 360? ▼
Yes, the air deck provides a stable platform for standing. The 160 cm beam provides stability.
What size engine do I need? ▼
6-10 hp provides good planing with 1-2 passengers. Up to 15 hp for maximum speed.
How long to inflate? ▼
Approximately 10-15 minutes with the included pump. An electric pump reduces time to 5 minutes.
