We went to the boat show in Newport, RI in September with the intent of getting a faster, rigid bottom inflatable. After all these seasons, I am only going to replace the motor with a faster one and keep my SD that still looks new!
I bought the SD two years ago and love it!! This boat replaced a Zodiac inflatable I had for over 20 years this is a case where the motor outlasted the boat. The Saturn is easy to inflate and use, The hand pump works well and with the one-way valves pressure does not escape when you remove the air hose.
Powered by a Mercury 25XD we fly at We covered the air floor with marine carpet, used 2 sided velcro to attach the boat registration to the side and used stencil and permanent marker for the registration numbers. I found that using an extension handle on the tiller handle helps move body weight further up reducing time to plane.
I already had a fin on the motor , We bought the optional wheels and makes easy transport from the garage to the lake. Easy to pack in the minivan with motor on top. We took the boat out to the Wisconsin Dells and boated on the upper and lower dells, lots of compliments from people in the Duck Boats,.
Wow fantastic thanks for fast service! I purchased my SD 3 years ago from you and have been extremely pleased. We have fished in the little boat from the far northern lakes of Northern Saskatchewan to the Sea of Cortez off Baja. I have a 9. I have a short shaft outboard but I added about a 1 inch strip to the top of the transom as I found the leg of the engine with the hydrofoil on was running too deep in the water at a plane.
It helped to get the boat to plane easier. Our little boat has been portaged over Beaver Dams, run rapids in rivers, dragged across beaches in Mexico and only a few scratches. The only leak was in the air floor from a dropped fishing knife, no big deal to fix. I would strongly recommend your product to anyone who is looking for a good all round boat for all conditions.
The boat arrived a couple of days ago and it looks fantastic. I just tried it in a swimming pool and I love it.
I already have the Saturn Proangler but this one is so much better with the oar rig and the transom. I will be able to do everything I want with this one. It's very hot in Dubai at the moment.
If I do manage to get out some early morning I will take a picture and send it to you. Once again thank you for an excellent product and an amazing customer service. I have a 12ft. And I go crazy in it I love it! I have jumped off boat wake in the bay behind my house: took it to Costa Rica and had it in the ocean with like 10 ft surf Beach launched for spear fishing But now the boat is still in Costa Rica and it is time for a new one. I have put that one thru hell.
And one last thing, I don't think anyone has put your boats thru the things that I have. I have jumped it so high that I hit bottom and sear the motor mount clamp off. And I still haven't had a problem with it falling apart yet, besides a little delamination in the transom: and when I drive my boat I drive it to go as fast as I can I recently purchased a 12 ft.
Saturn inflatable boat model SD This was an internet purchase, sight unseen. I pondered, shopped, and fretted for a month before taking the plunge. Specifically, I wanted an inflatable dinghy for my 36 ft. Mainship, which had no tender davit or even a really good place for one. The ability to bring the inflatable boat aboard, somehow, was very attractive from an operational standpoint.
I've learned through several boat purchases over my lifespan that any boat you own only gets smaller with use. The maximum size that would not exceed the beam of my Mainship was the 12 ft. I can single handedly roll this baby lbs. Launching the darling from this setup is as easy as untying your shoe. Initially I tried a 3. Fine, if you want ultimate portability and only want to run from anchor to the shore several times.
Not fine, if you want to take your dink down the bayou Biloxi, MS to a dockside restaurant and back. Upped it to a 9. Much better, except now I have to use a motor hoist instead of just doing it strong arm style.
Always a tradeoff, yes? With the 9. I like that. High speed performance with two aboard is adequate. I would have to guess Maybe It's a guess. A rigid bottom would provide higher top speeds, but at a significant price and weight penalty. Hey, it's a dink!! I imagine a 15 hp motor would provide thoroughly satisfying top speed with two aboard. I just couldn't go the extra weight lbs. As with anything this light, passenger placement can have fairly dramatic effects. After a few experiments, and affirmations to my passenger regarding her dietary success, I found the correct configuration for both planning and cruise.
The seaworthiness of the Saturn inflatable boat design has altered my thinking to the point that I'm certain I'll use her for fishing the offshore islands.
Towing her behind my Mainship or on the swim platform should be a no-brainer. The BP oil spill will doubtless test her ability to withstand petroleum products. An update will follow once she's been exposed to that environment.
I'm probably in for some kind of warranty breach there, I'm sure. Furthermore, I'm convinced that this thing just will not flip.
YOU might fly out, so make sure that you wear your engine shut-off lanyard. When fun time is over and she has to get out of the pool, I've learned to open the valves, get off, and then I can haul her onto my back deck by hand. Please consider that I am 55 yrs. The fact that I can do it repeatedly, without going to the hospital, is a true testament to the portability of the design.
I usually sit down for a cocktail shortly afterwards. I like to savor my accomplishments. And don't leave my inflatable boat in water for more than a week Wise choice.

Top Stacer Dinghy Great reliable used for fishing. Of the boats in use, some of the lightest hulls we saw flexed in the flat areas of the bottom where the scantlings are too light. Aluminum dinghies are tough but also carry a price premium. No one we spoke to with a fiberglass hull had ever had a rock hole their dinghy. As a buyer, you must be cautious, because within these two fabric lines there are significant variations in the formulation, thickness, and underlying cloth.
From our attempt to understand the fabric selection it became clear that only an experienced inflatable-boat dealer with boat repair experience could effectively guide us through the information. Some high grades and compounds of PVC are stronger and longer-lasting than some lower grades of Hypalon. Hypalon has a strong and loyal following in the cruising community. It is generally more resistant to UV radiation and to fuel, and it is a heavier and tougher fabric. On the other hand, it must be constructed with hand-glued seams.
These two factors make a Hypalon boat a little heavier about 5 pounds and a lot more expensive. The hand-glued seams of a Hypalon boat are not perfectly airtight either: it will be necessary to top off the air weekly.
PVC tubes, on the other hand, may not be as resistant to UV, but the seams are welded and they do not leak. For seasonal cruisers whose boats are stored in the winter, PVC may be the best choice in boat fabric. Many cruisers fit their boats with chaps�fitted canvas tube covers that provide protection from UV light and from abrasion, cuts and scrapes. For long-term cruisers who use their boats every day and spend much of the year in the tropics, chaps provide valuable protection for the tubes.
We were planning to add chaps to our next dinghy regardless of the tube fabric choice, and the exceptional air-holding capability of PVC at a lighter weight with significantly lower cost 25 to 30 percent cheaper than Hypalon was attractive. Most cruisers are adamant their dinghy should be able to plane when fully loaded.
But we met no one who wished they had a smaller outboard. Some carry a lightweight outboard for harbor duty where being on plane is not important and have a larger engine for the many times that they want to be able to cover greater distances on plane. We learned that an 8hp two-stroke or a 9. The first RIB dinghy we looked at had a folding transom. In some respects, it was similar to the air floor dinghy we had used for so many years.
First, you take the motor off and put it away. Then you hoist the dinghy with a halyard, which requires two people. Then you lay it upside down on the deck and strap it in place. When you anchor in the evening, reverse the process. A davit system can be operated by one person in a fraction of the time, and the outboard can be left on the dinghy so long as it is diagonally strapped for rough weather.
For our cruising, we needed a dinghy lift or davit system. RIBs are heavier than inflatable dinghies. The equipment to lift, store and deploy the RIB can be as big an expense as the dinghy and motor. We had learned the hard way that ease of retrieval would add years of life to our dinghy. A stern arch is a handy place to lift the dinghy, mount solar panels and mount antennas.
More cruisers are installing them, but they come with a steep price. Dinghy davits do much of the same for a lot less cost. Since we have solar panels on the bimini top, we elected to go with stainless steel davits.
With the dinghy storage question now settled, we set about finding a dinghy to fit our other parameters. The next detail of the decision process was the matter of weight. The purchase ratio on the davits reminded us to pay close attention to the total weight of the dinghy and its motor.
As we worked through a variety of models from several manufacturers, we found the weights varied as much as 80 pounds and that the published boat weights were not always correct. We finally resorted to physically lifting the dinghies to get a truer sense of their weight. We headed south last fall with a 10ft fiberglass rib with chaps covering PVC tubes and a 9. The dinghy was securely diagonally strapped to the new stainless steel stern davits.
Over the winter we made a few changes to the dinghy equipment. We replaced the 6-gallon fuel tank with a pair of 3-gallon tanks so that the fuel is more frequently turned over and replaced. That and a good inline filter prevented us from having any fuel-related problems.
We also found that a dinghy anchor is a simple solution to securing the dinghy for a walk on the beach, rather than carrying the boat up above the tide line. By the time we returned home the following spring the dinghy had traveled almost 5, miles. It had been used almost days and had been deployed and retrieved a hundred times.
