Load capacity

The maximum weight of cargo that the boat is normally designed to carry. The cargo in this case includes both passengers and their luggage, as well as the engine and various additional equipment.

The carrying capacity stated in the characteristics clearly cannot be exceeded: although most inflatable boats are able to stay afloat even with severe overload, in such conditions controllability and stability noticeably deteriorate, wear increases and the likelihood of damage to the bottom or cylinder increases. We also note that there is no strict connection between the carrying capacity and the number of seats (see above): models with the same number of seats can differ significantly in permissible load. And it is important to take boats with a large carrying capacity if necessary, because this affects the density of materials, overall weight and price.

Balloon diameter

The diameter of the boat's balloon — the inflatable shell that forms the sides — in a fully inflated state. This parameter primarily affects the dimensions of the cockpit (see below): with the same dimensions of the boat, a thicker cylinder leaves less space in the cockpit. Also, the carrying capacity is somewhat related to the diameter — a large cylinder usually holds more air and gives more buoyancy; however, in fact, the possibilities for transporting goods are also highly dependent on the characteristics of the bottom and the overall strength of the structure.

Dimensions (LxW)

The dimensions of the inflated boat in length and width, along the outer edges (excluding oars, motor, etc.). This parameter allows you to estimate how much space the vessel will occupy in the working position. In addition, the first size value — length — indicates other parameters: the larger it is, the better the boat is suitable for gliding and, usually, its capacity is greater (see "Number of seats").

Dimensions (folded)

Dimensions of the boat when fully deflated and collapsed. The more compact the folded boat, the more convenient it will be in storage and transportation; at the same time, too small, in comparison with analogues, dimensions can indicate a small thickness of the shell and relatively low reliability.

Weight

The total weight of the boat with oars and decking (if any), but excluding the motor and additional attachments. The lighter the boat, the more convenient it is to carry, however, a small weight can affect either the price or the quality (compared to analogues). Weight also affects speed characteristics — a lighter boat is easier to accelerate to high speed with the same motor power; however, do not forget that these characteristics also depend on the material, the shape of the bottom and many other parameters.
