The 14 feet SD430 is the largest SATURN Inflatable boat available.
It is a heavy-duty workboat, great for water rescue, diving or day
trips almost anywhere. SATURN SD430 boats
have been used by many
Fire-Rescue and Emergency departments across the country.
14' SATURN SD430 boats are made with premium quality
materials, and can handle up to a maximum of 7 persons.
Heavy-duty SD430 takes up to a maximum 40 HP outboard motor, but
will run nicely with a 25 HP motor. As reported by our
customers, even with a 15 HP outboard motor and 2 people this
boat can plane nice and easy.
SD430 inflatable boats are made of 1,100
Dtex PVC fabric with polyester support has excellent
resistance to tearing, tension and breaking. The heavy-duty outer layer,
protects the boat against UV rays, ozone
and abrasion, and inner layers provides
perfect strength and adhesion. Click here
to find out more about our PVC fabric.
Double layers of
fabric at the bottom of the tubes and rub-strake protector
along the keel provide extra protection from sharp rocks and abrasive sand.
The safety valve
will prevent excessive air pressure in the boats chambers.
14'
Saturn inflatable boats come standard with a 5 section
heavy-duty marine grade plywood floor covered with gray resin. Click here
for installation steps.
The SD430 boat is a marine rescue/dive boat, and
needs to be customized to fit end-user requirements. A central
console and/or coolers can be installed directly on the hard floor to
provide comfortable seating and easy means of navigation. We
recommend our adjustable
seating frames for customization projects.

* Specifications and
accessories are subject to change without notice. Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor
that can be safely used to plane the boat loaded to the
maximum capacity at normal water surface conditions.
Please exercise common sense and caution when using maximum
motor capacity. Do not jump from wave to wave as new
4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide
extra strain on the transom. Under normal circumstances,
with half the maximum persons/load capacity, 50% of
maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put boat on
plane.

SATURN SD430
inflatable boat
reviews by our recent customers.
|

"Okay,
it's been two years since I purchased my SD430,
the 14 foot inflatable. The first year I had it, I
worried because I didn't have a trailer and
couldn't afford one. I was worried that once I got
to put it in the water I'd have problems and the
warranty would be expired or something. At this
price, I expected lesser quality than a actually
got..." |

"Dear
BoatsToGo, I am writing to let you know that I am very pleased with my recent
purchase of the SD430. I have to admit that given the low price, I was
expecting to find something wrong with the boat; however, try as I may, I
could not find anything wrong with this boat! This is an excellent boat
at a fantastic price. The Saturn SD-430 is nearly $1,000 cheaper than any other comparable boat
I could find..." |

"... My impression of the boat is very positive, I currently have a Mark II
Zodiac brands (14 feet) and this boat is at least as solid and robust as the
Zodiac brands..."

"Hi...I
recently received my 14 foot inflatable from you,
modified it, and put it in the water for testing.
I am a Coast Guard licensed Charter Boat Captain
with over 40 years boating experience and more
than 25 years experience with inflatable boats. I
would like you to know that your 14 footer is one
of the best boats I have ever owned, and would put
it up against a expensive brands or Avon any time.
My
wife and I are very pleased with the handling of
this boat. Thanks for a great product and great
service." |

"Hi
BoatsToGo! I received my boat yesterday and
here are my impressions. I'm pleased with
the apparent quality of the SD430. The tubes
are larger diameter than even most of the Zodiacs
and Avons that I've seen... I like that!
It's really larger than I'd envisioned and appears
very well made. All seams are neatly glued
and the boat appears very rugged." |

"I am one
happy Saturn-owner these days. She's running like
a greased barracuda! Planes beautifully, esp. with
the hydrofoil I installed. You asked about SPEED
with my 15hp Mercury 4-stroke motor. An
experienced boat person estimated it runs full
throttle at between 18 and 22mph. Or an average of
20mph." |

"Hi
BoatsToGo. I am Canadian resident from Quebec and
I test for the first time my SD430 with Mercury
25hp 4 stroke. The result is WOW! The boat is
quiet the performance is outstanding and it let me
drive very easy. My summer will be very... thanks
BoatsToGo . Sorry for the English, I am French." |

"This
is our first boat. We've had it out five times on
four different lakes. The first time was on a pond
with a 40lb thrust (used) trolling motor- Such a
relaxing afternoon... The next three times was
with a malfunctioning 1974 20 hp Mercury. What
turned out to be a transmission problem kept us to
about the same speeds the trolling motor gave us.
After three trips to the boat shop the motor was
finally fixed. GPS in hand, we did "speed
trials". Fully loaded with the wife and 2
kids we did 17.7 mph. After dropping the
passengers off at the dock I got it up to 19.5. We
have a lot of fun with this boat. Thanks." |

"I’m still very happy with my Saturn. I’ve had it 4 years, used it for 3 and it still looks like new. I keep it fully inflated on the trailer inside my garage so I’m sure that helps." |
