Comparison Lisichanka L-210SUTP vs Lisichanka L-210SU

Type of transom — mountings for installing a motor — installed on a boat or supplied with it.

— Built -in. This type of transom is a vertical board in the stern of the vessel; such a board is located between the aft ledges of the cylinder and, in fact, also plays the role of a tailgate. Built-in transoms are strong and reliable, they can be used even for quite powerful and heavy engines, and therefore motor and motor-rowing boats (see "Type") are equipped exclusively with such mounts.

— Mounted. Transom in the form of a separate device, installed and removed if necessary. Transoms of this type are found exclusively in rowing boats: the motor for such a vessel is far from obligatory, and when it is not in use, the mount can also be removed to reduce weight. Usually, a mounted transom is immediately supplied with the kit, but this nuance does not hurt to clarify before buying.

— Missing. The complete absence of a transom is found exclusively in rowing boats and kayaks (see "Type"). At the same time, some of these models do not provide the installation of a motor at all, others have a “seat” for a transom and can be purchased in addition if necessary; these points for each model should be clarified separately.

— Rigid. Seats in the form of planks, usually attached to both sides across the boat. Considered more reliable than inflatables, they have a traditional flat surface and are cheaper due to their simple design. On the other hand, when folded, the hard seats take up more space, and the convenience for passengers is purely symbolic.

— Rigid sliding. The rigid bars described above with the ability to adjust the location along the boat. They allow you to change the distance between the seats, or even combine two into one.

— Inflatable. Inflatable seats are easy to use and quite comfortable. They usually do not require special fasteners, and by changing the degree of pumping, you can change the hardness, adjusting the properties of the surface to the preferences of a particular person. In addition, such seats, when deflated, take up a minimum of space. Their main disadvantage is their relatively high cost.

— Soft. A type of seat used primarily in kayaks (see "Type"). They have a rigid base covered with foam rubber or other similar material, often equipped with backs. This design provides comfort on long trips and at the same time allows you to maintain maximum control over the boat.

— None. Some boats may not come with seats at all. One of the varieties of such models is miniature rowing boats (see "T...ype"), designed for one or two people and equipped with an inflatable flat bottom (see "Bottom type"), which plays the role of a seat. The second option is multi-seat boats, for which "seats" must be purchased separately, depending on the features of the planned application.
