CUSTOMER'S REVIEW ABOUT SATURN SD470 INFLATABLE BOAT:

"I use my boat to go offshore fishing and take it 20 miles offshore on calm days to fish. When I bring all my fish into the boat ramp and clean them people constantly ask me about the boat. I attached some photos to show you the fishing success I have had on the boat. I just think the amount of miles I put on the boat are far more then most of your customers. Like I said before I take the boat 20 miles off shore and with trolling in between. I probably put 60 miles round trip on the boat most times I take it out. The positive part is I can travel all those miles and use only 5 gallons of gas." Adam M. Florida

Transportation and storage are a breeze with the SD470's convenient foldable design. Deflated, it conveniently fits into the back of your SUV or minivan, a spacious closet, or your garage, ready for your next expedition at a moment's notice.

With double layers of fabric at the bottom of the tubes and a rub-strake protector along the keel, the SD470 offers unmatched defense against sharp rocks and abrasive sand, ensuring a worry-free journey every time.

New features further improve inflatable boats durability and practicality:

• Air valves have been moved toward the inside of boat's tubes and away from direct exposure to the elements. This will allow easier inflation from inside the boat and will minimize damage caused by sun and rain while the boat is stored uncovered for prolonged periods of time. Rain water will not accumulate inside the valves.
• Triangular symmetrical splash guards were installed on the transom corners to provide the sensitive transom of an uncovered boat with additional protection and shade from the elements throughout extended periods in Tropical environments.

Aluminum Floor Installation Instructions:

1. Review Installation Steps: For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the aluminum floor installation guide.
2. Inflating Boat Tubes and Keel: Before operating your boat in choppy waters, ensure that the boat tubes and keel are fully inflated to the maximum recommended pressure to prevent damage to the floorboards. For more information on air pressure, please consult this FAQ section. Underinflated tubes and keel can lead to aluminum floor cracking. Please see different FAQ for more info on that.
3. Preparing to Install Stringers: When installing the stringers, position the oars beneath the bottom of the boat to elevate the edges of the floorboards off the ground.
4. Installing Stringers: Stringers are designed to connect two adjacent main floorboards. Each main floorboard consists of smaller sections that are joined by C-channels at the edges. For optimal alignment, ensure the spaces between adjacent stringers do not line up with the joint lines between the smaller sections of each floorboard.

Quick Tip! Worried about the weight of a hard-floored boat? No need to strain your back! Pick up a foldable hand cart from any retail store to easily transport your folded boat. Even budget-friendly dolly movers work wonders for both folded and fully inflated boats. For extra ease, consider our dinghy dolly wheels—perfect for rolling your inflated boat across the shore and right into the water!
