Seats

Rigid. Seats in the form of planks, usually attached to both sides across the boat. Considered more reliable than inflatables, they have a traditional flat surface and are cheaper due to their simple design. On the other hand, when folded, the hard seats take up more space, and the convenience for passengers is purely symbolic.

Rigid sliding. The rigid bars described above with the ability to adjust the location along the boat. They allow you to change the distance between the seats, or even combine two into one.

Inflatable. Inflatable seats are easy to use and quite comfortable. They usually do not require special fasteners, and by changing the degree of pumping, you can change the hardness, adjusting the properties of the surface to the preferences of a particular person. In addition, such seats, when deflated, take up a minimum of space. Their main disadvantage is their relatively high cost.

Soft. A type of seat used primarily in kayaks (see "Type"). They have a rigid base covered with foam rubber or other similar material, often equipped with backs. This design provides comfort on long trips and at the same time allows you to maintain maximum control over the boat.

— None. Some boats may not come with seats at all. One of the varieties of such models is miniature rowing boats (see "T...ype"), designed for one or two people and equipped with an inflatable flat bottom (see "Bottom type"), which plays the role of a seat. The second option is multi-seat boats, for which "seats" must be purchased separately, depending on the features of the planned application.

Balloon diameter

The diameter of the boat's balloon — the inflatable shell that forms the sides — in a fully inflated state. This parameter primarily affects the dimensions of the cockpit (see below): with the same dimensions of the boat, a thicker cylinder leaves less space in the cockpit. Also, the carrying capacity is somewhat related to the diameter — a large cylinder usually holds more air and gives more buoyancy; however, in fact, the possibilities for transporting goods are also highly dependent on the characteristics of the bottom and the overall strength of the structure.

Dimensions (LxW)

The dimensions of the inflated boat in length and width, along the outer edges (excluding oars, motor, etc.). This parameter allows you to estimate how much space the vessel will occupy in the working position. In addition, the first size value — length — indicates other parameters: the larger it is, the better the boat is suitable for gliding and, usually, its capacity is greater (see "Number of seats").

Cockpit dimensions (LxW)

The dimensions of the cockpit — the internal space of the boat, which accommodates passengers and cargo. The larger these dimensions, the more spacious the vessel, however, its overall dimensions (see above) increase accordingly. The length of the cockpit is measured from bow to stern, the width is measured by the greatest distance between port and starboard.

Dimensions (folded)

Dimensions of the boat when fully deflated and collapsed. The more compact the folded boat, the more convenient it will be in storage and transportation; at the same time, too small, in comparison with analogues, dimensions can indicate a small thickness of the shell and relatively low reliability.

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.
