Weight
The total weight of the boat with oars and decking (if any), but excluding the motor and additional attachments. The lighter the boat, the more convenient it is to carry, however, a small weight can affect either the price or the quality (compared to analogues). Weight also affects speed characteristics — a
lighter boat is easier to accelerate to high speed with the same motor power; however, do not forget that these characteristics also depend on the material, the shape of the bottom and many other parameters.
Paddles
Oars can be equipped with all types of boats - even motor ones. The convenience of such a configuration (in relation to
boats without oars) lies primarily in the fact that the “native” oars are optimally suited to the boat in terms of size and design features.
Pump
The pump for pumping the boat with air is usually the simplest hand or foot pump. Note that there are also faster and more convenient pumping methods - for example, using a compressor; however, these methods are not always available, while the complete pump is small, can be transported with the boat, and usually does not depend on external power.
Repair kit
Boat inflatable shell repair kit. The minimum composition of the
repair kit is patches and a composition for fixing them (another option is self-adhesive or even “liquid” patches). In addition, the kit may include sealant, gasoline for degreasing repaired surfaces and other items. Of course, serious damage with the help of a repair kit is unlikely to be patched, however, with small holes, cuts, etc. it might come in handy.
