Everything is explained by the fact that motor vehicles made in these countries have the most modern and perfect characteristics, even if they are motors from China.

PVC boats are a special type of water transport and have their own specific requirements.

• The first is the basis of the craft, the engine. In the modern motorcycle market, 2 types of motors are especially in demand. These are 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboard motors.They set benchmarks for criteria such as practicality, service life, safety and reliability. In addition, if we talk about 4-stroke engines, they are considered very environmentally friendly. Both of these types of engines are very easy to mount on inflatable boats. Therefore, you can choose the best unit for yourself from these samples. It should also be said that these types of motors are endowed with very good power parameters, which in some cases reaches 300 hp. C. It is worth adding that if you choose a single boat, then you do not need to buy a very powerful engine for it, a motor up to 3.5 liters is enough. C. For 2-seat boats, engines up to 5 hp are best suited. And in 3-seater, you can install a 10-liter engine. FROM.
• The next fundamental characteristic is the mount for the motor of your boat (transom). It can be mounted, like a motor for a ship, that is, it goes separately from the watercraft and needs additional installation. In addition, there are PVC boats with a fixed or, in other words, with a built-in transom. It is quite handy to mount a boat engine of almost any power and design to it. Actually, in this regard, when choosing a PVC boat for an outboard engine, you should opt for a fixed-mounted version for the engine.
• An essential role in the selection of a boat for the engine is played by the bottom. There are several types of bottoms, the most common of which are hard and NDND. And there are recommendations here too. When purchasing NDND, choose a more stable and durable structure. On this bottom, you can stand quite freely. Additionally, a boat with a low-pressure inflatable bottom can be covered with linoleum or some similar material.Such a bottom will be even more comfortable and practical.
• It is extremely important how the PVC boat was produced. There is a welded method when all seams are welded to each other. The second method is called glue. In this case, all seams of the swimming facility are simply glued together. With the glue method, all seams are 2 times denser and larger. Which makes the whole structure of the boat stronger and more durable.
• It is of great importance from what exactly the swimming facility is made. Chances are, most of you are aware that PVC is a very common boat material these days. Boats made of this material are often called PVC boats. This material is produced unreinforced or reinforced. Knowledgeable people are advised to choose reinforced material. It is more practical.
