Quick Tip! Worried about the heavy weight of a hard floored boat? Don't break your back! Get a foldable hand cart from any retail store to carry the folded boat around. Even inexpensive dolly movers will work great for transporting a folded or fully inflated boat. Get dinghy dolly wheels to easily move the inflated boat across the shore and into the water.

Note: Specifications and accessories are subject to change without notice. Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor that can be safely used to plane the boat loaded to the maximum capacity at normal water surface conditions. Please exercise common sense and caution when using maximum motor capacity. Do not jump from wave to wave as new 4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide extra strain on the transom. Under normal circumstances, with half the maximum persons/load capacity, 50% of maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put boat on plane.

Took this boat on a 250 mile trip. It’s definitely made of good material. It will haul as much as you can fit in it. I put 1,200 lbs without loading it down at all. However the 15hp motor was not powerful enough to reliable get on plane. If we could plane 12mph top speed otherwise 6mph.

We hit lots of rock, sandbars, sticks and sweeps. I don’t think the boat is sinkable. I did put a good golf ball size hole in the bottom but the one way valves at the rear could keep the water down until we could repair it. I don’t blame the boat. Hit a pointed rock hard! If I was in an aluminum boat I’d have probably sank.

Only complaint is those same valves in the transom often let lots of water in while the nose was up and the boat was trying to plane. I felt that extra weight of incoming water is what kept us from getting planed out. As soon as we could get into some choppy water the boat would usually break free, get on top and the water would drain out.

---- comment from BoatsToGo:
15HP might not be enough to plane heavy boat with person sitting in rear. That is why we offer planning tabs in our Accessory section.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing the SATURN INFLATABLE BOAT HD430, and I must say, it has far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I unboxed it, I was struck by the quality of the German PVC material. It's clear that this isn't your average inflatable boat; it's a premium product designed with durability and longevity in mind.

One of the standout features for me is the heat-welded seams. They're a testament to the thought and care that has gone into the construction of this boat. I've taken it out on the water several times already, and it's held up beautifully, even in less than ideal conditions. The five air chambers in the hull provide an added layer of safety and buoyancy, which gives me peace of mind when I'm out on the water.

The cargo area on top of the tubes is a game-changer. I love to fish, and this feature allows me to bring along all my gear without feeling cramped or cluttered. It's a simple, yet ingenious design feature that has made my boating experience so much more enjoyable.

The SATURN HD430 is also surprisingly easy to handle. Despite its robust construction, it's nimble on the water and easy to maneuver. It can accommodate up to a maximum of 7 persons, which makes it perfect for family outings or trips with friends. However, it also planes easily with a smaller 15-25 HP outboard, which is great when I want to go out solo.

The HD430 inflatable boat does not come with fishing rod holders as standard, but this minor setback can easily be resolved by purchasing optional rod holders separately. Rest assured, the boat's design and features, such as the multiple D-rings and cargo area on top of the tubes, provide ample opportunities for securing and organizing your fishing equipment. Get ready to reel in the big catch with the HD430!
