Buying Inflatable Boats
As you are probably already aware of, inflatable boats are very popular today. Each distinct group
of inflatable boat is designed for a specific use and therefore equipped with different components
and equipment.
If your looking for a small boat to get you from your ship to the shore, a typical inflatable boat
is the best answer. If you are looking for a medium-sized boat for diving or swimming, there
are many choices in that area as well. For recreation or rescue work, there are large inflatable boats
available as well.
Dealers
The location of a reputable dealer is very important, as you don't want to travel too far to get an
inflatable boat. Whether you need parts, repairs, or just technical support - a close dealer can also
be a close friend. As a new boat owner, you may also have questions, need to claim your warranty,
or just need regular servicing. No matter how you look at it, a close dealer is always better
than having to travel.
Prices
Many years ago, inflatable boats were the most expensive types of boats and only a small amount ofpeople could even afford them. The reason for this, was the use of exotic materials and tthe numeroushours of hand labor that went into their construction.
Today, there are machines that do a majority of the construction work. Zodiac and its sister
company Sevylor, are the leading low cost producers today thanks to technology. You can even finance
an inflatable boat if you need to, making them available to almost everyone now.
Warranty
You may have heard claims from all competitors, with each one promising they have the best or even
the longest warranty. A few years ago, a company offered a lifetime warranty - although they soon
disappeared shortly thereafter. Many manufacturers will use an attractive warranty to substitute for
quality or even proper boat design.
In the back of your mind, you should be sure that the company you buy from will be around long enough
to deliver on their warranty. Zodiac has been building inflatable boats for over 50 years, and
offer a limited 5 year warranty on their inflatable boats. Therefore, Zodiak is one of the best you
can buy today.
With all inflatable boats, you should know which type you want before you purchase. You can always
look around and see what each dealer offer, then plan your purchase accordingly. An inflatable
boat is great to have, especially for those who own big ships and vessels. You can't go wrong with
these boats either - as they serve many different useful purposes.
