Re: Seamax
Just a side note,
It's important to have an authorized local marine dealer & repair center that will stand for warranty issues, that doen't mean that any reputable boat repair dealer, third party skilled technicians, using good quality materials, can't handle any sib brand simple repairs.
Although now a days, most sibs are assembled in China mainly to lower hand labor costs, pvc fabrics and glues are not made in China, so materials are far more durable than expected. Besides, most users only use their sib at the most 3-4 months a year and kept properly storaged when summer ends.
According to my trained in France, Zodiac technician and personal 14 years experience as user and 4 as sib/rib dealer, any inflatable well cared for, correctly inflated using a presure gauge and shaded kept when not in use, will outstand by 2 their factory warranty which is 3 years on seams 5 years on fabric. Durability will depend entirely on you.
Happy Boating
