Introducing the 12' Saturn FCB365 Fishing Inflatable Boat, a practical choice for anglers who want solid quality without overspending. Built on the popular FCB290 layout but stretched for more room and stability, this model gives you the extra space you want for comfortable fishing trips. With tough HEAT-welded seams and premium German Heytex PVC, it’s designed to handle long days on the water.
The FCB365 takes the proven Saturn CB365 platform and upgrades it for fishing use. You get two universal accessory mounts ready for optional Scotty or Railblaza rod holders, cup holders, or fish-finder setups. The inflatable air deck includes a sturdy non-slip pad for confident footing, and a wide protective rub strake along the bottom adds extra toughness when launching from rocky shores or shallow rivers.
Power it your way. Pair the FCB365 with a small gas outboard for speed or enjoy a quiet ride with an electric motor. It performs well on lakes, ponds, rivers, and even calm coastal waters.
When the trip is over, the boat packs down quickly. Deflated, it fits easily into the trunk of most cars, SUVs, or minivans, making it simple to store and take anywhere. Lightweight, portable, and ready when you are.
Make your fishing days easier and more enjoyable with the Saturn FCB365. Affordable, dependable, and built for adventure on the water.

Question: How to install optional keel?
Answer: The FCB365, built as a flat-bottom model, can be upgraded with an optional do-it-yourself keel system to improve tracking and handling. This modification uses a long semi-rigid insert positioned under the deflated air floor to create a keel-like profile.
Begin by attaching two Velcro retaining straps to the lower interior surface of the hull, directly underneath where the air floor sits. These straps are designed to hold the selected keel insert securely in place. The simplest insert option is a large-diameter foam pool noodle, which can be purchased at common retail stores for a few dollars. Once the air floor is removed, place the foam noodle along the centerline, slide it under the Velcro straps, and reinstall the air floor. When the floor is inflated, the compressed noodle forms a raised center section that mimics the function of an inflatable keel, improving stability and straight-line tracking.
For users requiring additional stiffness, a section of PVC pipe may be inserted inside the foam noodle before installation. This creates a more rigid composite structure. With the Velcro straps holding the assembly firmly beneath the air deck, this DIY modification provides an effective method to enhance the FCB365’s directional control and overall performance. See YouTube video for example of installation on similar type of boat.
Note: 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 ride 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 the boat on plane.
