My notes on researching inflatable boats started in 2006-and continuing. This blog tracks my observations during my search for a dive inflatable. I also turned on AdSense for a trial period so there may be related advertising shown on my pages, we'll see how it goes and decide later to remove it or keep it.

Why I created this blog?

Yes, this is NOT my boat. I'll repost the real picture later. It's just my dream boat.

I've been researching a replacement for my Yukon Sportboat 14 inflatable for my fishing and scuba diving use. Since 2-3 years ago the inflatable market has changed quite a bit. The China manufacturing influence now comes into play. The materials the inflatable boat is made of now has changed to a type of PVC as opposed to Hypalon. The RIB with fiberglass or aluminum bottoms are getting cheaper to make but still expensive to ship.

All of my experiences and notes on what I found will be logged into this blog. It's not my intention to ask anyone for help, but if you want to comment on anything I put here, please do.
