Saturn CB290 inflatable Boats will work great for the bay, river, lake or even ocean. Once deflated, CB290 boats can be stored in your trunk, as they take up about as much space a medium luggage bag. Store it anywhere, take it anywhere. Store it in the RV, take it to the lake, or put it in the ocean. Your Saturn CB290 inflatable boat will get you closer to the surf, the fish, and the great outdoors, faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before.
Question: How to install optional keel?
Answer: While this boat was originally designed as a flat bottom boat, it is also possible to add optional DIY keel to improve performance and directional stability. It can be done by placing elongated semi-rigid structure under air floor while it deflated. There are 2 Velcro straps glued to the bottom of the boat, under air floor. These straps were designed to hold down for example foam swimming noodle, that can act as an improvised keel, or perhaps some other structure, such as shaped wooden keel for example. Easiest and simplest solution would be to purchase $3 large diameter foam swimming noodle in local retail store, such as Walmart or Target. That noodle will imitate inflatable keel when placed under air floor. It also could be possible to place PVC tubing inside that foam noodle, for additional rigidity. Two straps glued on bottom of boat, under air mat, will hold noodle down.

Quick Tip! Worried about puncturing the air floor with a fishing hook, dog claws or sharp object? Get a piece of vinyl flooring or rubber mat from your local hardware store. Cut the vinyl to fit inside the boat, over the floor and your air floor will be almost indestructible! When deflating, just roll it up along with the boat for future use.

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 the boat on plane.

This feature allows you to tailor your boating experience to your specific needs.

I've been wanting to get into boating for a while now, and the Saturn CB290 is the perfect starter boat for me. It's affordable and portable, making it perfect for someone who doesn't have a lot of storage space or money for expensive boat storage. I also love the fact that it's inflatable – no need for a trailer or heavy lifting! It's just me, the open water, and my inflatable boat.
The separate internal air chambers make this boat incredibly safe, and the front bow D-ring is a nice touch. I also appreciate the heavy-duty marine grade plywood transom for the outboard motor – it's clear that Saturn has thought of everything to make boating accessible for beginners like me. I can't wait to take my new boat out on the water again!

The Saturn CB290 is a great little boat. It has all the necessary features and accessories one could need for a day out on the water. The high-pressure drop stitch air floor is included, which adds to its rigidity and performance. The boat also comes with aluminum oars, a hand pump, a repair kit, and a seat bench, which I find to be very handy.
The separate internal air chambers are a great safety feature, and the one-way drain valve with plug makes it easy to clean. I was also surprised at how lightweight and easy to maneuver the boat is. I've taken it out several times now and it performs excellently every time.

I can't express how pleased I am with the Saturn CB290. The boat is incredibly easy to set up, and the lightweight hull performs well in the water. The aluminum seat benches are comfortable and easy to remove when needed. I used the spare rope to attach my anchor, which was a breeze.
Despite being a budget boat, the CB290 doesn't skimp on features. The safety grab line on the sides of the tubes gives me peace of mind, and the velcro straps on the bottom for the attachment of an optional non-inflatable keel add to the versatility of the boat. It's clear that Saturn has put a lot of thought into the design of this boat.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the quality and performance of the Saturn CB290. When I first purchased it, I had my reservations because of the price, but it's proven to be worth every cent. It's safe, with its separate air chambers and safety grab lines. The heat welded seams make it durable and long-lasting.
It's also super easy to transport. Just deflate it, pack it in the carry bag that came with it, and you're good to go. Plus, the boat is not only affordable, but it also saves me the costs associated with trailers, storage, and maintenance. It's a great boat for those looking for a cost-effective way to get into boating.
