12' Kayak/Inflatable Boat Crossover - KaBoat SK396! Patent
Pending.
This
new and revolutionary design, crossover between an inflatable kayak and an
inflatable boat – an inflatable kayak with a plywood transom - KaBoat!
To use it as a regular kayak, just paddle it anywhere you want, such as
on the: ocean, bay, river or lake.
If you get tired, just use an electric or gas
engine installed on the marine grade plywood transom. You can use it as an inflatable boat with outboard engine.
If the battery charge or gas runs low, then use it as a kayak to paddle to your destination.
KaBoat
extremely portable and will fit in a medium size bag. Now you can go on vacation and take your small KaBoat with you, (along with an optional small electric or gas engine). The main benefit is that if you get tired of paddling, then you can use the engine to get back ashore.
KaBoat
exceptionally stable design allows you to stand, fly fish or even get into those
narrow spots where other boats can't go to get the best fishing. Plywood
seats provides excellent support and can be customized by installing folding
fishing chairs with swivel base or canoe seats to provide additional back
support for long trips.
An optional electric motor can act as a Ride-Assist. Just set the throttle to the 1st speed setting and it will help reduce rowing exhaustion.
On the 1st speed setting, an electric engine can run around 12 hours (depending on battery size). A 30 lbs electric engine can cost around $99 at most outdoor goods retail stores. The SK396 KaBoat with an electric engine is ecologically friendly, environmentally clean and real "green" boat!
Sail kits for KaBoats are now available at SailBoatsToGo.com.
The KaBoat can be easily be moved by one person and small foldable handcart. Click on image on a right to see video clip showing how one person can easily move a KaBoat by holding the end tubes and rolling the kayak with its bow placed on a hand cart. The new generations of KaBoats have handles conveniently placed on the end cones for that specific purpose.

Benefits of KaBoat VS. conventional
Kayak or Inflatable Boat: |
- Conventional plastic or fiberglass kayak requires
significant storage space due to its large dimensions. KaBoat can
be deflated and folded for easy storage, transportation.
- Kayak can be only paddled, but KaBoat
allows you to use small gas or electric engine to cover larger
distance. If you tired paddling, you can start using optional engine.
- KaBoat is much more stable than a
conventional kayak, allowing standing and walking inside the KaBoat.
In fact, you can fish standing or even ride while standing.
- KaBoat can be used for diving,
snorkeling, and fishing, however not many conventional kayaks can offer
similar functionality.
- Due to the high buoyancy of its
inflatable tubes, KaBoat can
transport much larger cargo than regular kayaks.
- KaBoat allows you to go to the narrow
or shallow places where regular inflatable boat will not go. Just
raise an engine and paddle anywhere at least 5" deep.
- Due to the smaller chambers it is
much easier and faster to inflate KaBoat than a regular inflatable
boat.
- Because of narrow profile of the
KaBoat and a much lower drag than a wide conventional inflatable boat,
KaBoat can go faster with same rating engine than comparable size
inflatable boat.
- KaBoat can also be used as a dinghy
to the yacht or sailboat, but takes much less space when deflated and
folded. Also can be placed on a swimming platform.
- KaBoat cost much less than any inflatable
dinghies available today.
