Hello,
I am looking into purchasing a new boat for the summer. I currently have an Achilles 16' w/40ph merc SS tiler. The boat is a 1984, I think that it is getting tired and that it is time to replace it. I will be using the motor and trailer that I already have for the new boat.
I was thinking about the Saturn SD430. http://boatstogo.com/inflatable_boat_sd430.aspDoes anyone have any personal experience with these boats? If so what are your thoughts.
If not the saturn then I was looking at a boat at www.coastalinflatableboats.com The model there that I was looking at is the XHD430. Does anyone have anyexperience with them as well.
Looking for a general consensus of what people think. I am new to the inflatable world. I will be using the boat for scuba diving. Also what are the thoughts of the wood vs alum floor, pro's and con's? I have a trailer that I will be keeping the boat on. I will not be inflating and deflating. One the boat is aired up it will stay that way.
