Catamaran SUP Connector Frame

Inflatable Platform to Connect Two SUPs into a Catamaran.

Convert Two Paddle Boards into an Electric Catamaran!

Turn Your Paddle Boards into a Catamaran with Our Inflatable Platform!

Elevate your water adventures by converting two SUP paddle boards into a powerful, electric catamaran. Our upgraded inflatable drop-stitch platform replaces the old aluminum frame, offering quicker assembly and disassembly without sacrificing functionality.

Perfect for leisurely cruising or fishing, this inflatable platform is designed to seamlessly join two paddle boards, creating a stable, catamaran-style vessel. It's incredibly easy to inflate, install, and deflate, and comes equipped with a folding plywood transom to accommodate an electric trolling motor. Can work with inflatable and non-inflatable paddle boards or even some kayaks.

Key Features:

• Stability & Capacity: Ideal for two people, yet capable of supporting up to four, thanks to the impressive buoyancy of the combined paddle boards and platform. Once fully assembled, it’s nearly impossible to flip over and extremely rigid.
• Secure Attachment: The platform attaches to the paddle boards using provided tie-down straps, which run under the hulls and secure to D-rings on the platform. 
• Customization Options: Install an electric trolling motor (up to 1HP) on the motor mount, and secure a cooler or battery in the middle using optional tie-downs or bungee cords.
• Detachable back rests: Sit back and unwind with the included backrests, or easily remove them and secure your own beach chair using the optional lashing tie-downs, which thread through side grommets for added convenience.

Whether you're seeking a relaxing cruise or a sturdy fishing platform, this inflatable platform transforms your paddle boards into the ultimate catamaran experience.

Assembly Instructions

Start by inflating both the SUPs and the platform to the recommended pressure. Once inflated, place the platform over the paddle boards, ensuring it is centered.

Next, secure the platform by running the four provided straps under the hulls of the SUPs and attaching them to the four lashing tie-down locks on the platform. Pull the straps tightly to firmly attach the platform to the boards, and double-check that the locks are fully engaged. Step on platform for tighter fit.

Unfold the motor mount and adjust the lashing tie-down to ensure it is fixed vertical. Position the trolling motor so that its shaft rests on the outer edge of the platform, keeping the propeller clear of the inflatable SUP surfaces. Operate trolling motor tiller handle to move forward and steer. Hold motor firmly for reverse, as it can flip backward.

Always remember to wear Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) when using the platform. Follow common sense and marine regulations.

If needed, you can adjust the backrest by releasing some air to increase the recline angle. The backrest doesn't need to be as firm as the platform, so a softer setting may provide additional comfort.

QUICK TIPS: 

For better tracking:

• Do not install SUP fins that usually comes with paddle boards. Catamaran will not track well with fins installed.

For optimal rigidity:

• Option 1: Install the platform on top of the SUPs while they are slightly under-inflated. Once the platform is secured, fully inflate the SUPs. The boards will expand, creating a highly rigid structure.
• Option 2: Alternatively, install the slightly under-inflated platform on fully inflated SUPs, secure the straps, and then add more air to the platform. This will allow the platform to expand further, enhancing rigidity.

For motor mounted in front:

• To configure the electric trolling motor for front-mounted operation, remove the supplied inflatable backrests and secure optional beach chairs to the side grommets using lashing tie-downs. Rotate the platform to position the motor mount at the front instead of the rear. Detach the outboard motor head housing by removing the securing screw, rotate the housing 180 degrees, and reinstall the screw. This modification enables forward operation of the electric motor tiller.

For heavier loads and better durability:

• Replace the supplied light-duty plastic strap sliders with stainless steel sliders, which can be sourced from Amazon, for enhanced durability and strength.
