About buying a boat fisherman starts to care more winter or early summer. The boat is an important acquisition which should be long.
Obviously, everyone wants an inflatable boat that would last a long time
And the right inflatable boat will last a long time.
Today, for the manufacturer of inflatable boats most common materials are PVC and the hypalon.
Boats from hypalon – durable and reliable. The hypalon – type synthetic rubber that has a good waterproofing characteristics. This material is highly resistant to a variety of environmental influences. The inner surface of hypernovae boats lined neoprene, which is separated tissue layer from the main material. Thanks to the strength of the boat increases.
Boats made of PVC
Boats from PVC made from fabric covered with a PVC . These boats are very light, PVC lends itself vulcanization, which is very good for sealing joints.
If there is a choice to buy a boat made of PVC or metal, most fishermen prefer the first option. At approximately the same indicators, they are much easier to transport.
PVC is quite strong and can come in different thicknesses , but still does not change the fact that it does not repel from sunlight as great as Hypalon , but can definitely be kept in great shape a just as long lasting if well maintained and looked after. PVC fabric can be longer lasting as long as it�s properly maintained and taken care of such as covered when not being used and no spills or leakage being done around the inflatable.
PVC is a flexible and durable material, almost beyond the effects of wet environments. Such boats are not necessarily carefully dried after each fishing. However, this material is sensitive to sunlight. The longer the boat will be under the influence of sunlight, the more PVC will be destroyed. Of course, this process is quite long, and negative impacts will occur gradually. In recent years, the production of materials have advanced considerably, and we can expect PVC with a 100% resistance to sunlight, it is hard to say. Therefore, when choosing a boat PVC desirable to prefer bright colours, up to almost white. This color is more resistant to ultraviolet light, reflecting the most of it. Camouflage shades of green needed more for hunting, for fishing, they are hardly significant.
