Inflatable Boats

Coleman Boats  |  RST Boats  |  Sevylor Boats

Inflatable boats are practical, fun, tough and versatile. That they are used so widely in Antarctica is a testament to their qualities.

An extra advantage, not usually so important in warmer waters is that they are resistant to hitting pieces of floating ice! They are pushed in at the impact point to immediately spring back again rather than the ice breaking through the hull.

Whether you're boating around icy waters or somewhere distinctly more tropical, the freedom of an outboard powered inflatable boat gives you a feeling like your first car did. Go where you want, when you want.

Launch from the beach or jetty or use your inflatable boat as a yacht tender, whatever the purpose, you'll love the versatility and extra freedom and flexibility that the boat gives you.

AND - at the end of the season, it can be deflated and stored in a much smaller space, so you don't have it taking up room, looking out of place and getting battered by the weather.

Outboard powered inflatables are great for fishing, diving, leisure trips, or just getting ashore and using as a run-around in harbor.

Sports Inflatable Boats for Outboard Engines

Sea Eagle 14SRS 8 man inflatable boatSea Eagle 14SRS 8 man inflatable boat

Built for speed and strength, the Sea Eagle 14 SR can take a 40 hp engine and 8 adults, making it ideal for diving, fishing, or general boating.

The 14SR is equipped with the same rugged polyethylene floorboard system as the other Transom Boats, so this roomy boat can still fit in a car trunk. It also features a transom brace, which allow it to handle new four stroke motors which can often weigh 40% more than their two stroke predecessors.

Best selling transom boat, the 12.6 SR is a great family boat. It can take a 30 hp engine go 20 MPH plus and handle rough seas with ease.

The large 18" pontoons allow this boat to easily support six large men and gear and provide greater rigidity to the boat hull. The 7" inflatable keel cuts through waves and provides excellent turning performance.

At 134 lbs, the 10.6 SR is light enough for two adults to cartop and carry to that ideal fishing spot. It will take a 15 HP engine, but performs great with far less power. With today's gas prices, that saves a lot of money!

This boat will travel at 25 knots and handle rough seas with ease. The 6" inflatable keel cuts through waves and provides excellent turning performance. The large 15.5" inflatable tubes provide incredible buoyancy and greater rigidity. Best of all, the interlocking polyethylene floorboards provide great standing stability and long-term durability with virtually no maintenance or upkeep.

Our 9.6 FT Fisher/Tender is great in either role - small fishing boat or yacht tender. It will hold four adults or 1000 lbs, and take up to an 8 HP engine.  

This 9' 6" transom boat was designed with both the yachtsman and the sportsman in mind. Using only three plastic floorboards and no inflatable keel, this model is very lightweight and easy to put together.

Because the 9.6 FT weighs just 99 lbs. with floorboards, and takes less than ten minutes to inflate and assemble, this model provides easy access to remote ponds and lakes for fishermen who want to get to where the fish really are.

8.6 FT Fisher/Tender Roll Up Boat8.6 FT Fisher/Tender Roll Up Boat

The roll up wooden slat floor on the 8.6 FT makes it our easiest transom boat to inflate - just 8 minutes from the bag to the water. The slatted floorboard design permits the boat to be packed in one small bag and inflated in a confined space - such as the deck of a boat or a crowded launch area.  

Designed for people on the move, the new Sea Eagle 8.6 FT features unique slatted floorboards. An ideal boat for RV enthusiasts, the 8.6 FT can be tucked away in a small space. In less than 15 minutes you can be on the water. Just unroll and inflate, it's that simple. With our MB-100 high pressure electric pump, it's even faster.
