Materials used in the manufacture of Russian-made inflatable boats
Just like all over the world, at Russian enterprises that manufacture inflatable boats, the main production material is PVC - polyvinyl chloride and synthetic fabrics.
Fabrics determine the elasticity of the structure, for example, polyester fabric is stiffer than polyamide. The elasticity of polyamide fabric gives it better tensile test performance.
By itself, polyvinyl chloride is a hard substance, but with the addition of polyurethane, the alloy becomes acceptable for the manufacture of strong and elastic inflatable boats.
For the manufacture of inflatable boats, a 5-7-layer sandwich made of fabric and a mixture of PVC and polyurethane is used. This material glues, cooks and vulcanizes well. By the way, a patch with glue holds better than after vulcanization.
How to choose the right Russian-made inflatable boat
Choosing a boat is easy. Decide how many people will usually be on the boat. Calculate the required motor power based on the fact that 20 kg of weight requires one hp. and search on the Internet. Whichever boat you like, buy it. But first re-read all the forums, with witness statements about the boat you have chosen.
One piece of advice. In the passenger capacity column, divide everything by two. The boat, of course, can be loaded with the number of people specified in the specifications, for example, when evacuating drowning people, but such a number will not work for fishing. Therefore, 260 cm long cannot be a boat for two fishermen.
Tuning of Russian-made inflatable boats
It means it's heavier, so don't overdo it.
However, on board it would not hurt to have a speedometer, GPS navigator, barometer, bow electric motor with remote control, windshield wipers, awning, audio system, holders for spinning rods (sacred), anchor rollers, spotlights, etc.
First of all, look at the weight. Determine what is more important to you: tuning or speed and consumption.
Inflatable boats made of PVC are stronger than rubber ones, easy to store, varied in size and durable. They are suitable for trolling, hunting in marshy areas and general lake fishing.
When choosing, look at the motor power, bottom type, brand, carrying capacity, and the number of vacationers on board. Use the filter on the left side of the screen, and our online store will select suitable PVC boat models.
Advantages and differences
Inflatable rowing, motor, motor-rowing boats are practical and easy to use due to their low weight and material features. For example, the lightweight and compact Flinc Malek 195 is suitable for fishing from the center of a small lake and overcoming light water obstacles alone. The larger Poseidon-520 is designed for 12 people and a motor of up to 50 liters - it can be used for virtually any type of water recreation.
We have compiled a general list of the advantages of such boats:
- The prices for PVC boats are among the lowest, but the quality of these watercraft is no worse than others. The rubber models are a little lower or the same cost, but they are less durable and deteriorate faster.
- There are options for both a motor and oars, or for both.
- PVC boats weigh little. They can be transported rolled up even in the trunk or in a special backpack. For example, the weight of fry 195 is only 5.5 kg - it can be easily lifted by an adult. This will save on a trailer for transportation.
PVC boats are cheaper than wooden or iron ones, but at the same time they do not rot, do not rot, do not absorb moisture, are not afraid of frost or sun (do not crack under ultraviolet radiation), do not deteriorate under the influence of microorganisms and withstand aggressive environments (gasoline, oil). Therefore, they remain in perfect condition for a very long time.
PVC inflatable floats are lightweight, inexpensive, versatile and durable. We sell models from well-known, and most importantly, time-tested Russian and foreign brands. If you have any difficulties choosing, call a consultant.

PVC boats are becoming more and more popular every day among fishermen in our country. Every fisherman at least once thought about having his own watercraft: a boat or a cutter. No one needs to explain how significantly a PVC boat expands the angler’s fishing capabilities. Owning your own boat or motorboat is not a cheap pleasure, but there is an alternative option: a PVC inflatable boat.
An inflatable boat, unlike a regular one, has large number advantages:
- An inflatable boat takes up significantly less storage space; it can be stored in a garage, utility room, even in an apartment.
- An inflatable boat is much more convenient to transport to a fishing spot; there is no need to purchase a car trailer or install a towbar.
- To launch an inflatable boat, there is no need to look for a special place; an inflatable boat weighs significantly less, so even one person can easily launch it.
- The price of an inflatable boat is several times cheaper, so a large number of people can afford to buy it.
The first inflatable boats were made of rubber; they were not very reliable in operation, but they were inexpensive; anyone could afford to buy such a boat for fishing, hunting or tourism. The basis of a rubber boat is a synthetic mesh or cotton fabric, covered on both sides with rubber for gas-tightness. Over time, manufacturing plants rubber boats improved the technology of their manufacture, began to use rubber with a high content of natural rubber, thanks to which the boats became much better and more reliable.
In the 90s, the first inflatable boats made of the new, more modern material polyvinyl chloride (PVC) appeared. PVC fabric was a nylon mesh coated on both sides with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is an elastic material that provides airtightness. PVC boats were significantly superior in performance to rubber boats, but at first they were much more expensive than rubber boats. A little later, more and more manufacturers began to appear on the market and prices for PVC boats dropped significantly. Today, PVC inflatable boats have become the most popular view boats of all.
Advantages of PVC boats
- Easy to store PVC boats. Before storage, a rubber boat must be thoroughly washed, dried thoroughly, sprinkled with talcum powder and stored, if possible, unfolded, in a partially inflated state, so that the boat does not rot or become moldy. There are no such problems with the PVC boat, I rolled it up and put it in storage until spring: in the garage, on the loggia, in the basement. The storage temperature of a PVC boat is from -40 to +50 degrees. It is advisable to store a rubber boat at temperatures from -5 to +35 degrees.
- PVC boats are more resistant to tearing and abrasion. PVC fabric is denser and rougher in structure, so it can withstand mechanical stress better. The rubberized fabric of a rubber boat does not resist longitudinal cuts well, so the rubber boat must be protected from sharp branches, snags, sharp stones and glass fragments.
- The seams of PVC boats are much stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than the seams of rubber boats. The seams are the weakest point of a rubber boat; to strengthen them, the seams are covered with special tapes, so they look much less aesthetically pleasing. And despite the reinforcement of the seams with tapes, the strength of the seams of a rubber boat is still worse than that of a PVC boat. The tensile strength of seams for a PVC boat is 3.5-4.5 kg, for the seams of a rubber boat it is 0.5 kg.
- PVC boat cylinders hold a higher pressure, their working pressure is 0.3, while rubber boats have a working pressure of 0.15. The pressure in the cylinders of a rubber boat must be carefully controlled, otherwise in the heat, the overinflated cylinders can burst; this can especially happen with an old boat that has served its owner for many years. This does not happen with a PVC boat.
- PVC boats have less weight than rubber inflatable boats. This moment becomes especially sensitive with a large inflatable boat.
- The fabric from which PVC boats are made is much more practical than rubberized fabric. It does not rot, is not exposed to fungi and bacteria, does not absorb moisture, and is not afraid of frost or ultraviolet radiation.
- PVC boats are well suited for use with a motor, since PVC fabric is not afraid of contact with petroleum products: gasoline, motor oil.
- Manufacturers of PVC fabric produce more than 20 colors and shades of their fabrics, which allows designers and constructors of PVC boats to create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing boats to suit every taste of their customers.
- PVC boats are considered safer; even if the boat cylinder is punctured, the air from the PVC boat cylinder comes out much more slowly, leaving the boat owner more time to take measures to save the boat and the property in the boat. Rubber boats sink faster.
Disadvantages of PVC boats
- PVC boats, due to the greater rigidity of the material, take up more volume when folded. A rubber boat of the same size will take up less space when folded than a boat made of PVC fabric.
- In late autumn, at sub-zero temperatures, when folding a PVC boat, difficulties often arise because the fabric of the boat becomes coarser, becomes stiff and is difficult to fold. Although speaking about this drawback, it should be noted that very few people use a boat at sub-zero temperatures; most owners use an inflatable boat at ambient temperatures above 15 degrees.
- Repairing a PVC boat is considered more difficult than repairing a rubber boat. In the early days after the appearance of the first boats made of PVC fabric, it was very difficult for the owners of such boats to find glue and a repair kit to repair their boat. Currently, along with each boat made of PVC material, glue and a set of patches are included in the kit for repairing punctures and cuts in the field. In addition, through the advertisements you can find craftsmen in your city who can qualitatively repair your PVC boat, eliminating any problems with your boat.
- A PVC boat, as a rule, costs much more than a rubber boat. Although recently the prices for PVC boats have almost become equal to the prices for rubber boats.
- The PVC fabric material can be easily burned by a cigarette or coal from a fire, so when using the boat you need to be careful and attentive, especially if you are a smoker.
Choosing a PVC boat
A person has a lot of questions when choosing an inflatable boat, especially if this is his first boat. When choosing a boat, there are several important points to consider:
- The size of the boat should match the size of the body of water where you will be fishing. The larger the size of the body of water, the larger your boat should be.
- Be sure to consider the number of people who will be on the boat with you.
- For fishing on a small body of water: a pond or a small river, a simple rowing boat designed for one, maximum two people is quite sufficient. For fishing on a large body of water: a large reservoir, a large river, a lake, it is better to purchase a PVC boat with a transom for installing an outboard outboard motor.
- Pay attention to the number of cylinders in the boat, there should be at least two, or even better, three. The more cylinders in the boat, the safer it is.
- Boats differ in the density of the PVC fabric from which they are made. The higher the density of the fabric, the thicker and stronger the fabric will be, but at the same time the weight of the boat increases. It is advisable to choose boats with a fairly high density of PVC fabric.
- The bottom of the boat may vary in design. There are boats with an inflatable bottom, as well as boats with a bottom made of plywood or even aluminum.
- If the performance of a boat and its stability on the water are of great importance to you, try to test the model of your future boat by borrowing a boat of the same model from your familiar fishermen and trying it on the water.

Fishing on the lake, rafting on the river or just a walk along the reservoir - all this can be done with comfort and safety only on one of the best PVC boats presented in this rating. Such watercraft are very convenient, because they can be lowered, disassembled and taken with you at any time, even in your hands. But here you need to keep in mind that the huge selection can easily confuse even an experienced buyer. That’s why we present you this TOP, compiled based on reviews from product owners.
Which company to choose a PVC boat
The best boat manufacturers are:
- Ark– offers a number of series of “Lotsman” products at once; he independently develops, produces, and sells them. For this, the company uses polyvinyl chloride-based fabrics made from several layers from the famous brands Mirasol and Scantarp.
- Boat Master is a Russian manufacturer of inflatable small-sized floating transport. The main office and production are located in Ufa, Russia. It was founded in 1993 and during this time it created several brands: Riviera, Aqua, Taimen and some others. She has several patents, certificates and awards for producing quality products.
- Admiral- This is another company with a selection of watercraft for traveling on a river, lake, and even going to sea; for the latter there is a special series of products. Some of them can be up to 5 m long and can accommodate more than 3 people, something you don’t see often.
- Frigate– the company released the first inflatable watercraft made of polyvinyl chloride in 1991. Today its assortment includes series for children, with NDND (inflatable bottom) of economy and premium class.
Rating of the best PVC boats
Its compilation would have been impossible without feedback from owners of such small rubber boats. When analyzing them, we took into account how convenient, safe, useful and practical this or that model is, as well as whether its quality corresponds to the established price.
Of the technical characteristics, the following were taken into account:
- Weight, width, depth, shape and length of the product;
- The height of the sides determines whether water will get inside;
- Type of stern, is it raised, as this gives additional stability;
- Maximum weight supported;
- Number of seats;
- Quality of fittings, including oars and barrels;
- Bottom type (inflatable or hard);
- Equipment;
- Strength and quality of fabric, number of layers;
- Recommended motor power;
- Number of air compartments and size of cylinders;
- Color.
Best PVC Inflatable Rowing Boats
Such models are usually not very expensive; they cost several times less than those designed for a motor. Most often, they are characterized by a simple design and small size. They are mainly used by fishermen or hunters, but for long rafting trips this is not the best option.
Pilot C-200
Let's start the review with this offer, which in our rating can be called the best for fishermen who are going to go sailing alone. This single-seat model has a non-inflatable bottom made of a thick layer of reinforced polyvinyl chloride. Therefore, it is not surprising that reviews write about the convenience of fishing even while standing. Naturally, the product is small and therefore very light, but at the same time it stays quite reliably on the water, does not tip over and feels confident when turning.
The “Lotsman C-200” model has a well-placed seat, almost in the middle. But sitting on it for a long time can be uncomfortable due to its rigidity. Since this is a rowing-type watercraft, the set includes two oars, which are considered quite comfortable for long-term use. Separately, it should be noted high quality seams placed end-to-end and reinforced with fabric, which makes the alloy even safer.
Advantages:
- Feels confident in small waves;
- Strong sidewalls;
- Maneuverability;
- Light weight;
- Strength of materials;
- There are several colors.
Flaws:
- Load capacity is below average (100 kg);
- Small oars;
- It's still cramped for two people on board.
The Pilot C-200 boat weighs just under 9 kg, which makes it easy to transport. It will always be safe and sound thanks to the included backpack.
Aqua Optima 260
This is one of the most durable and lightest models in our rating. Its owners note in reviews that the air in it is held securely, it is easy to inflate and, if necessary, deflates without problems. True, its bottom is not inflatable. The reliability of this option lies in the fact that it can stay afloat even if one of the compartments is punctured, since there are two of them.
The Aqua Optima 260 boat does not have a keel, but despite this, it handles quite well when turning. It is quite easy to control with the help of oars that come with a pump, oarlocks, and a rope. The disadvantages include hard, uncomfortable seats.
Advantages:
- Not heavy weight without equipment;
- Excellent handling;
- Quality of fittings;
- Good seam sealing;
- Budget model.
Flaws:
- There is too little space for two;
- The seats are located very close to each other;
- Oars can shift and fall off when rowing.
The length of Aqua Optima is 260 cm, which partly explains its low weight of 13 kg. It has a simplified design with a minimum number of seams, which reduce the likelihood of damage to the product. The board can carry a maximum of 220 kg. The characteristics of this model are not the best, but, as for a budget model, they are quite acceptable.
When planning a long voyage, you need to buy a good inflatable mattress in advance.
The best motor rowing boats made of polyvinyl chloride
Such options are relevant for those who plan long rafting trips on large rivers or lakes. These craft can be controlled using oars or a motor can be installed on them if there is a transom. But they all require registration with the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Admiral 280T
In this rating, this model is the golden mean between economical and expensive. According to reviews from the owners, it is quite comfortable; instead of hard seats, there are soft barrels built in on the sides, and there is an optimal distance between them. The watercraft is suitable for rafting two people, but can withstand a maximum of 210 kg. The non-inflatable bottom, on the one hand, makes swimming safer, but on the other hand, complicates the assembly of the product, just like a collapsible floor.
This model cannot boast of large dimensions; its length does not exceed 280 cm. The motor power rating is 3.5 hp. also not the most impressive, but, in general, that is why it was included in the rating of the best rowing motor boats. The manufacturer has added oars to the set, for which special holders are provided. The raised stem allows you to develop speed faster and increases the “vessel’s” resistance to water.
![](https://i2.wp.com/wpfc.ml/b.gif)
Advantages:
- Walking;
- Good side diameter;
- Overpriced feed;
- Good quality fittings;
- Excellent pump pump;
- Easy.
Flaws:
- The oarlocks squeak and need lubrication;
- Valve springs rust quickly, the product must be dried thoroughly;
- Poor bottom protection from water.
According to user reviews, the Admiral 280T is very convenient for fishermen who want to fish while standing.
Riviera 3200
This transom boat was produced by the Master Boat factory, which is quite famous in this market. It is characterized by increased stability on the water due to the built-in transom and dense inflatable keel. Its sides have optimal rigidity and height, which, in particular, made it possible to fix comfortable mobile seats for two people on them at a comfortable distance. The watercraft is really roomy, because its length is 3.2 m, and it can safely take up to 500 kg of cargo.
It is obvious that the Riviera 3200 model is designed, if not for professional use, then certainly for frequent use. Being designed for a motor with a power of up to 15 hp, it easily moves along reservoirs, rivers, and lakes. But fishermen may have some difficulties, since there is no holder for fishing rods. A collapsible plywood floor allows you to feel more comfortable on the “deck”, but at the same time increases the time for assembling the boat.
Advantages:
- Easy floor assembly;
- Quality materials;
- No unpleasant smell;
- Quite dense walls;
- Beautiful color;
- Reliable seams;
- Diameter of cylinders;
- Cockpit width.
Flaws:
- Asymmetrical gluing;
- No fabric reinforcement under the stringers;
- Unreliable fastening of the front cylinder valve cover;
- There is play at the junction of the pipes;
- The tapes that cover the gaps often come off.
Particular attention should be paid to the package: the set includes a pump, oars, and a lifeline.
This is another pretty good rowing model, designed to install a motor, but a powerful one, of course, will not fit here, up to a maximum of 2.5 hp. And again, here, like other models from this rating of the best PVC boats, the bottom is non-inflatable. But if necessary, you can use the removable option included in the kit. It is not the most spacious, its width is 1.28 m and its length is 280 cm, but due to the expansion of the stern there is room to store fishing gear.
Like most inflatable two-seater watercraft of this format, the balloon is divided into 2 parts. Thanks to this, if the integrity of the walls of a polyvinyl chloride product is damaged, it will be possible to continue to control it with the help of oars while remaining afloat. Everything would be just fine if it weren’t for the weight of 16 kg, although for two people, which is what the boat is designed for, this will not be much of a problem.
Advantages:
- Spacious;
- Durability of polyvinyl chloride fabric;
- Compact when assembled;
- Easy to transport;
- Reliable valves;
- Excellent air retention.
Flaws:
- The pump is rather weak;
- Unreliable transom fixation;
- The seats are not very good; they fall out if the boat is not fully inflated.
Judging by the reviews of the Frigate M-3, it is obvious that the manufacturer played it safe when it indicated a limit on the maximum accepted weight of 220 kg; in fact, it is slightly higher.
Which PVC boat is better to buy?
If there will be 2-3 people in one craft, then it is desirable that its length be at least 3 m. The barrels should be located at a sufficient distance so as not to touch the neighbor with oars. By the way, during a long voyage it will be very uncomfortable to sit on plastic and wooden seats. For those planning to fish while standing, it is better to give preference to options with a hard bottom.
When choosing a specific model from this TOP of the best PVC boats, you need to consider the following:
- For those who go fishing rarely and for a short time, for example, on a calm and small river, you can buy inexpensive rowing-type models - Pilot C-200 or Aqua Optima 260.
- Those who want to go rafting for several days will find it difficult to control the oars all the time. In this case, the product must have a transom for installing the motor. Then it will not be a mistake to choose the rather good option Frigate M-3.
- If 3 people plan to sail in the boat at once, as well as for professional use, for example, by rescuers, the Riviera 3200 will be relevant.
- For those who are going to fish or swim in rivers or lakes with a large number thickets, it is worth taking a closer look at the Admiral 280T model, which overcomes them perfectly.
You can buy the best PVC boat only when you have confidence in its stability, strength, practicality and safety. It was precisely these indicators that we primarily focused on when compiling this rating; we hope it will help you choose the right model for you.

Materials used in the manufacture of Russian-made inflatable boats
Just like all over the world, at Russian enterprises that manufacture inflatable boats, the main production material is PVC - polyvinyl chloride and synthetic fabrics.
Fabrics determine the elasticity of the structure, for example, polyester fabric is stiffer than polyamide. The elasticity of polyamide fabric gives it better tensile test performance.
By itself, polyvinyl chloride is a hard substance, but with the addition of polyurethane, the alloy becomes suitable for making strong and flexible inflatable boats.
How to choose the right Russian-made inflatable boat
Choosing a boat is easy. Decide how many people will usually be on the boat. Calculate the required motor power based on the fact that 20 kg of weight requires one hp. and search on the Internet. Whichever boat you like, buy it. But first re-read all the forums, with witness statements about the boat you have chosen.
Tuning of Russian-made inflatable boats
Tuning an inflatable boat means making it heavier, so don’t overdo it.
However, on board it would not hurt to have an echo sounder, speedometer, GPS navigator, barometer, bow electric motor with remote control, windshield wipers, awning, audio system, holders for spinning rods (sacred), anchor rollers, spotlights, etc.
First of all, look at the weight. Determine what is more important to you: tuning or speed and consumption.

Advantages of PVC boats
Modern boats are an excellent solution for those who prefer active recreation associated with fishing, water tourism and scuba diving.
Buying a PVC boat for fishing is the dream of many people who prefer fishing in deserted places. A swimming device made of polyvinyl chloride has many advantages compared to similar products made from other materials.
- The inflatable boat looks aesthetically pleasing. There are models of different colors, shades, plain or with a pattern.
- PVC material is high quality and reliable. It is resistant to aggressive environments, heat, ultraviolet radiation, low temperatures, and does not ignite.
- PVC rubber boats are compact and lightweight, weighing up to 11 kg when folded. They are convenient to carry over your shoulders and unfold. In addition, they do not take up much space in the trunk of the car.
- The products are wear-resistant and have good load-carrying capacity.
- They come with the necessary accessories. The standard package includes oars, a pump, a bag, an inflatable cushion, a certificate of conformity and an instruction manual.
- The PVC boat has ideal maneuverability and unsinkability. It is stable in waves, regardless of the depth of the reservoir. If obstacles arise, the product can be easily carried by hand.
- Inflatable PVC boats with a motor can withstand high pressure and are not afraid of contact with natural objects.
- They have a long service life.
- Maintaining the product is not difficult - just dry it well. Storage does not require special premises or special conditions. Polyvinyl chloride is a multi-layer fabric on a synthetic basis. It tolerates temperatures well from -40 to +700C.
Types of inflatable boats
Depending on the design features, PVC products come in 3 types:
- Rowing - designed for movement along small rivers and lakes. They are small in size, as they are designed for 1 or 2 seats, lightweight and have a simple structure. Due to the fact that the inflatable sides of the device are divided into independent sections, it will stay afloat in the event of mechanical damage to the hull. This is a good option for family leisure.
- Motor models are large in size, with extended sides and sealed compartments. To move through the water, they use an outboard motor, which is installed on the rear part of the vessel - the transom. For products made of polyvinyl chloride, transoms are made mounted, designed for low-power motors, and stationary, designed for powerful engines.
- The PVC motor rowing boat is suitable for traveling on small bodies of water and for coastal navigation. It is used for the motor and oars. The length of the device varies - from 3 to 4 m.
Buying a vessel requires a serious approach and consideration of financial capabilities. The Big Boat Ltd company offers to buy a PVC boat with benefits for buyers, taking into account their tastes and desires. Our website presents modern and inexpensive products. We offer our guests a catalog and prices with a description of the models of swimming equipment. Travel enthusiasts can buy inexpensively the option they like - with a motor or ordinary oars. The price depends on the device model and technical characteristics. Despite the fact that we have the cheapest boats, the quality of goods and service do not lose their importance.
- Our products are practical and easy to use. For the manufacture of the presented products, exclusively multi-layer reinforced fabric is used. It does not stretch and is highly resistant to punctures and breakdowns.
- Depending on the purpose of use, boats come in different sizes: the length of rowing boats varies from 2000 mm to 2800 mm, for transom models it can range from 2400 mm to 3800 mm.
- Welding of the edges of the body is carried out on a HDTV machine. Thanks to this technology, the seam is smooth and strong.
- Welded seams are specially reinforced with PVC connecting strips.
- To ensure safety, models with several independent sections of inflatable cylinders are designed.
- Our products are characterized by increased safety. They have the appropriate splash-proof side and optimal interior space.
- To create comfort while fishing, any selected vessel can be additionally equipped with floorboards in the form of a slatted sling, a full-fledged book floor and a low-pressure inflatable liner.

Before purchasing a rubber boat, you need to decide on the purpose and conditions of its use. Based on needs, inflatable boats are divided into types:
- sports;
- family;
- for hunting;
- fishing;
- for diving underwater.
PVC boats sports class They have a durable floor, a large number of inflatable compartments and a reliable transom for installing a powerful motor. For a family holiday, it is recommended to choose a rowing option that can be equipped with an engine.
If you have the opportunity to go fishing in large bodies of water, it is advisable to buy a PVC motor boat with a hard bottom in the form of a sling-book.

Boat Manufacturers
Russian boat manufacturers 50 domestic factories. Large brands and new brands of RIB, aluminum, PVC, fiberglass, inflatable rubber, etc. motor boats. Catalog 2018: official websites, addresses, contacts and prices of manufacturers and suppliers. Become a dealer, order a price list!
Russian manufacturers of inflatable and rigid frame boats, when designing and manufacturing their products, strive to take into account the extensive natural and climatic conditions of Russia, the possible conditions of reservoirs, and the operational requirements of numerous fishermen and hunters.
Software for designing sketches and final drawings, automated cutting, manufacturing of component parts and assemblies on high-precision CNC machines allow Russian factories to produce small vessels close to European quality standards.
For the production of inflatable boats (and parts) Russian factories use:
- rubberized fabric. Low price of the product, but weak strength. The disadvantage of the material is molding if storage rules are not followed, characterizes the lowest budget option floating craft.
- reinforced five-layer PVC boat fabric. Thermoplastic polymer "PolyVinyl Chloride" is obtained from petroleum and table salt. Reinforcing cord made of lavsan (polyester) provides strength and resistance to penetrating cuts and punctures. The outer polymer layer is waterproof, not destroyed by ultraviolet radiation, and resistant to salt water and fuels and lubricants. The seams can be easily and reliably welded with hot air or glued together with polymer adhesives.
- Hypolon. Airtight polymer material. Does not require pumping up the boat for 6 - 10 weeks. Stronger and more durable than PVC. The impossibility of air welding of seams requires additional special equipment.
- polyurethane. The best material for boats used in extreme conditions. Durable, plastic, reliably reinforced, easy to glue due to sufficient porosity, and resistant to abrasion.
In the manufacture of rigid-hull boats in Russia, polymer fiberglass mixtures are used, various types plywood, rolled aluminum alloy AMg5M. The good ductility of the alloy for pressing and cold stamping, strength, lightness, reliable weldability, and corrosion resistance have ensured the widespread use of the alloy in shipbuilding with the title “marine”.

Rubber boats
The oldest factories for the production of rubber boats are Ufa and Yaroslavl.
Many people know such models as “Ufimka”, “Omega”, “Nyrok”, “Chizh”, etc. But in fairness it must be said that rubberized fabric is gradually leaving the inflatable boat market.
In order to survive in the conditions of fierce competition, these factories are switching to PVC fabric. We see this in the example of the Ufa plant, which is gradually curtailing its rubber series.
Admiral
The company has become widely known relatively recently; it has been competing in the market since 2010, offering consumers not a wide, but a standard set of boats made of PVC.
It is this series that is most popular among buyers, which has allowed the company, in such a short period of time, to take a strong position in the market producing rowing boats, motor and combined.
A special place is occupied by sports models, which have a higher class and high seaworthiness, with the smallest, 2.8 m long, and the largest, 5.2 m.
Mnev and K
One of the largest domestic companies engaged in the production and sale of these products. It is distinguished from its competitors by its very large model range.
The manufacturer's assortment includes six series, which are expanded by several dozen boats each.
In addition, models from the well-known Yamaha company are produced under license from foreign manufacturers.
The popular “Cayman” series is characterized by various sizes of finished products, 2.7-4 m long, with a price starting from 24 thousand rubles.
Among the inflatable boats of this company, you can choose a budget option, for example, Catfish 270. This model will cost you 20 thousand rubles. It is made of PVC fabric and includes excellent equipment in the form of a stationary transom designed for a 5 hp motor. With.
Poseidon
The company has been on the market for more than 20 years, but initially did not produce inflatable boats, and specialists preferred the repair and tuning of inflatable products.
Having engaged in independent production, the company's management only benefited, thanks to the accumulated experience and modern technologies. With her developments, she managed to quickly conquer the market, saturating it with high-quality and inexpensive products.
Today, the Poseidon company offers an expanded range of 8 series of inflatable boats and 50 models that can satisfy the taste of any consumer.
Each model already has a transom as standard, which is very convenient.
The initial length of the smallest model is 2.8 m, the largest inflatable boat has a size of 5.2 m.
For the production of inflatable boats, the company uses high-quality PVC fabric; even the most budget model is made of polymer with a density of 750 g/m2, and for finishing the bottom the density is increased to 850 g/m2.
The pricing policy allows us to produce budget and expensive models. The simplest boats can be purchased at a price of 23 thousand rubles, and they will be equipped with several independent compartments and are designed to use a 5 liter outboard motor. With.
Rotan
The Russian company, with its head office and production facilities located in St. Petersburg, has been successfully doing business for more than 15 years.
An inflatable bottom is considered a design feature of the boats produced.
The inflatable boats of this Russian company have always been quite lightweight and compact when assembled.
On the water they are fast, have high level comfort and convenience during operation. Lightweight versions of such PVC products will please those who carefully monitor the weight of transported volumes.
The minimum length of a boat from this manufacturer ranges from 3.8 m, and the price for such a product will not exceed 41 thousand rubles. Based on these parameters, it can be classified as a full-fledged motorboat. The fabric density does not exceed 850 g/m2.
This company gained great fame thanks not to boats, but to inflatable catamarans, which remain the main product of the company. Inflatable catamarans have 8 model ranges, the length of which ranges from 3.8 to 6.6 m.
Rotan catamarans can be classified as floating vessels. Their stability is achieved by design features, and buoyancy is equal to the maximum performance of the middle class of inflatable small boats.
They have a spacious cockpit and in the production of such catamarans high-tech PVC is used, the density of which is determined by 1100 g/m2. A model with a length of 3.8 m will cost 72 thousand rubles.
Solar
The product range of this company includes boats with an inflatable bottom, and this tradition has continued since 2002, since its entry into the competitive market.
The designers completely excluded from the boat's equipment all kinds of rigid shapes and elements that weigh down the hull structure.
The model range includes PVC boats from 3.1 to 5.5 m, designed to install a motor, for which they are equipped with a transom. The smallest model in length will cost from 50 thousand rubles.
Flagship
Flagman boats are equipped with an inflatable bottom; they are in great demand among consumers not only due to this technological feature, but also due to their reasonable price.
The most inexpensive model will cost the buyer only 24 thousand rubles. At the same time, the high quality of full-fledged motor boats, represented by models with a length from 2.8 to 4.5 m, is maintained.
Rowing models are not offered to consumers; each product has a built-in transom and a keel bottom.
Frigate
The company has been presenting its products on the market for more than 20 years, and the range includes rowing and motor models, for every taste and at any price.
The bottom of some boat models, unlike competitive analogues, is equipped with several cylinders.
Some models are additionally equipped with effective bulwarks, this ensures increased rigidity of the entire structure of their PVC floating craft.
Rowing boat models with a length of 2.4 m or more will cost the buyer at least 10 thousand rubles, and for a motor - from 14 thousand rubles.
The cost of inflatable boats with a multi-balloon bottom will be 42 thousand rubles.
Boats with a bulwark will be even more expensive; they can be bought for 51 thousand rubles.

Why buy an inflatable boat?
This is far from an idle question; the answer to it will help determine the size and design of the future inflatable vessel. For example:
- Riding along the river with the family, going on picnics to little-visited places;
- Fishing in small bodies of water from time to time;
- Regular trips for fishing or hunting big rivers, reservoirs, trolling fishing predatory fish(See also: Rating of wobblers for trolling).
In the first case, you need a large (at least 3 meters) boat with a large margin of reliability and decent carrying capacity. It is desirable to have a hard floor. In the second, you can limit yourself to a relatively small (2.40 - 2.70) boat with a light motor (up to 3.5 hp), the bottom can be either rigid or Airdek (inflatable). This will slightly reduce weight, dimensions and assembly and disassembly time. In the latter case, the longer the length, the better.
Powerful motor, floorboards made of marine plywood 12 mm thick, high-quality stringers are a must. The most durable cylinders, it is better if the PVC has undergone additional processing to give the coating hardness. Then you can safely walk in shallow water, not pay attention to bushes, reed thickets, and not be afraid of protruding snags and stones covered with shells. Yes, it's a lot more expensive, but it's worth it. Particular attention should be paid to the supplied pump. The higher its performance, the faster you will be “on the water”.
Based on the above, I chose the Skat S-330 model manufactured by Mnev and K in St. Petersburg. It is designed for fishing on rivers and lakes with little excitement.
Why was she chosen? Let's start in order. First of all, I liked the shape - a pointed, raised bow (easily passes through coastal thickets), an inflatable keel (feels better on a small wave), a glued transom capable (according to the manufacturer) of carrying a motor with a power of up to 18 hp.
The cockpit is protected from flooding by two transom gussets. At one time I had the opportunity to personally see that at times this is very relevant. The cylinders are not the largest, only 40 cm, but they are connected by welding and made of PVC with a density of 1100 g/m2, and this is already an indicator. The four-section floorboard provides the necessary structural rigidity for running under the motor, especially since the two middle sections fit entirely into the aluminum stringer. And finally, the highlight of the program (for me at least) are two cans (seats) mounted in the lyktros-lykpaz system.
If you have been on boats with two or three, where there is no way to adjust the position of the seats, you will understand what I mean.
Collapsible aluminum oars complete with hinged oarlocks and fastenings for horizontal fixation - this will surprise few people now, but it’s nice. Four carrying handles and a rope railing around the cockpit provide a wide range of mooring options. In addition, they are quite suitable for attaching all sorts of useful little things: fishing cage, nets with bait when fishing in the current in the wiring. Finally, you can cool a bottle of beer on a hot day.
Despite the fact that the “Scat S-330” is considered a four-seater, external dimensions are 330/150 cm, only two people can comfortably fish in it (including equipment). The stated load capacity of 450 kg is also somewhat exaggerated. No, of course you can download it, but it’s not worth it. Overload immediately affects controllability and maneuverability. And if another motorboat passed nearby, then whoever had time to hold on. When purchasing, I was very confused by the weight of the boat (two bags weigh 55 kg), but nothing can be done about it, such is the price to pay for convenience and reliability. There were no problems with transportation to the reservoir, thanks to the same bags, one 80x65x10 cm, the other 100x60x27 cm. The boat cost more than 30 thousand rubles, but from the first time on the water the “toad” calmed down - the boat is really worth the money.
Purchase
When you come to the store, you have already basically decided on the size and manufacturer, but there is always a possibility that your preference may change. Therefore, we will speak without regard. Of course, they choose the eyes, then adjustments are made depending on financial capabilities. And here it is, your dream!
You need to start communicating with a sales consultant by studying the certificates for the products being sold, and then proceed directly to checking the product. We carefully inspect the transport bags (most likely there will be two of them). They should not show signs of careless storage and transportation. Tears, abrasions, loose seams, torn handles, damaged zippers.
When the boat is removed from the packaging, try to remember how it is folded, this will be very useful in the future, because you will have to repeat this procedure several times. Don't be shy to ask for practice and let them correct you if necessary. Carefully inspect the eye-handle, railing fastening eyes, carrying handles, oar latches and hinged “locks”. The oars themselves should also be checked for cracks, the tightness of the handles, and the reliability of the connecting unit (there should be a slight tension when connecting).
We check the functionality of the pump and the compliance of the hoses and adapters with the boat valves. We inflate and check the places where the bottom is glued to the cylinders. There should be no wrinkles, distortions, or mechanical surface defects. That's all you can check when purchasing. Time will tell the rest.
Yamaran T280
In the Petroset company’s model range, the smallest is the T-280, but at the same time it has all the necessary attributes inherent in the “big brothers”. The shape of the sides is U-shaped, the ends are conical. An inflatable keel and a rigid floor, reinforced with stringers, provide good stability in small waves. The boat is assembled from PVC with a density of 950 g/m2. Recommended for use with a 3 HP motor.
A good option for fishing and walking along small rivers and lakes (although not very budget-friendly). The two cans are secured with screws. External dimensions 280x153, weight 51, load capacity 330 kg.
Silverado 30F
The index F in the name of the boat, presented by the Petroset Bolshoi company, means the Family subseries. It is equipped with a four-section floor with aluminum stringers. A large supply of buoyancy is provided by an inflatable keelson (between the floor and the bottom) and three separate sections of the main cylinder.
Equipped with a transom capable of carrying a motor up to 4.5 hp. Two cans are fixed permanently, there is a railing (along the oars) and handles for carrying (closer to the stern). The total weight of the boat is 54 kg with a carrying capacity of 425 kg. External dimensions – 298/151 cm. Refers to four-seater vessels, but the ideal option is two people and a small cargo. Designed for use on small rivers and lakes with weak waves.
Nordik 360
One of the most popular models of the Petroset Bolshoi company is the mid-size station wagon model Nordik 360. Even the basic version allows you to use a boat with a motor of up to 15 hp, and the upgraded (reinforced) Hardy model can be equipped with a 25 hp motor. The bottom is made of 12 mm waterproof plywood, fastened with aluminum profiles, and reinforced with stringers. The railing is small, but the abundance of tape handles and four transport handles completely compensate for this. The basic model is equipped with two non-adjustable banks on tape seats, and on the Hardy modification - on a lyctros. Boat dimensions 365/173 cm. Diameter of cylinders 46 cm. Weight – 61 kg. Load capacity 540 kg.
Nissamaran
Special series of motor rowing boats Tornado and Musson were developed specifically for operating conditions in Russia. The customer is NISSAMARAN Co ltd. Japan, it also exercises strict control at all stages of production. All seams are glued “overlapping” using a modern welding method, and then additionally glued on top with the same material. The density of PVC used for the manufacture of cylinders is 1100 g/m2, the bottom is 1400 g/m2. Toward the nose, the diameter of the cylinders increases slightly. Starting from a length of 270 cm, all boats are equipped with standard bags located under the seats and a bow locker bag.
Nissamaran Tornado 360
This model is equipped with a collapsible aluminum floor with stringers of a new design, a reinforced transom and increased in height, which allows the use of powerful outboard motors. The bottom received additional protection, the keel was reinforced with a rubber seal, and the lower part of the cylinders (all along) was glued with an additional layer of PVC. Dimensions 360/168, cylinders with a diameter of 45 cm, weight 65, load capacity up to 689 kg. Can be used with a 20-horsepower four-stroke engine and carry five people and cargo.
Admiral 375S
For the production of boats of the Admiral series, PVC with a density of 750 g/m2 produced in Germany (Heytex, Mexler) is used. Bostic glue (French) was used during assembly. The cylinders, 40 cm in diameter, are divided into five sealed compartments. Inflatable keel. The five-section laminated floor is reinforced with stringers. The cans are attached using the lyktros-likpaz system. Dimensions 375/145cm. Weight 44.5 kg. Load capacity 500 kg. Refers to four-seater, medium-sized motor-rowing vessels.

On vessels larger than 4 m, motors with a power of 30 hp or more are installed. and weighing from 60 kg.
Important rules for choosing a PVC boat correctly
Choosing inflatable PVC boats, you need to pay attention to:
- length: for single swimming, a size of 220-240 cm is sufficient, and for a group of fishermen, hunters of 2-3 persons, models from 300 cm are the best option;
- presence of transom: suspended or glued transom;
- bottom design: inflatable bottom or hard flooring;
- shape, modification and other parameters.
When they are selected PVC boats for fishing, then many take into account not only the thickness, but also the color of the material. The diameter of the tanks, the type of nose and other nuances are of no small importance. Contacting our specialists guarantees qualified advice and right choice in each specific case!
Types by bottom type
The most common option is an inflatable bottom, which provides a lighter weight of the product, ease of storage and sufficient load capacity along with optimal performance, which makes it easier to go on planing. By inflating modern (low-pressure inflatable bottom) or models with a high-pressure bottom to a pressure of 1 atmosphere, you can stand on them as confidently as on a hard floor.
Many fishermen, hunters and water recreation enthusiasts choose PVC payol boats with a folding or hard bottom. Hard flooring is made in the form of a collapsible or solid bottom made of wood or aluminum treated with moisture-resistant impregnation and is most often used on keel models. The hard bottom ensures comfort on board, creating maximum stability and safety. The disadvantages of a hard bottom include the large weight of the structure, the difficulty of transportation using it, and the need for storage space.
