Selection of boat and motor

Pictures:

It is important to know how to choose a boat correctly. It is not only operational safety measures, high quality and reliability of a boat that matter but also specific requirements a motor boat should conform to. You can find below the essential parameters of choice. Load carrying capacity is a significant feature of certain models. Remember about it in order not to have a vessel turned upside down. Allowed weight value indicated in technical documents does not guarantee fair speed. In order to resolve this issue you should rely on expert advice and experience. Speed and maneuvering performance can at times decline.

Professionals recommend to load a boat up to 1,4 – 1,5 time less than an allowed weight value. Rubber boats with soft bottom and portable transom, rigged with 2-3 hp motor, can go 7 – 10 km per hour with full load. Those who prefer high speed will like keeled inflatable boats of hard structure. They are more stable at cornering. It is hardly possible to turn it upside down. While choosing a “BARK” boat you are strongly advised to follow one rule: choose a keeled boat if you have a powerful motor, get a flatboat if you prefer a small-power motor.

Transom is an essential component of motor boat’s design. Make sure that the mounting accessories are robust. Pay attention to the following characteristics of transom:

  • thickness;
  • gradient;
  • paint coating;
  • safety protection.

The selection of motor is based upon preferences and financial muscle of a customer. Medium-power motors are most popular. You can learn about our assortment of boats and motors from our dealers. We also offer state-of-the-art and efficient accessories for inflatable boats.
