The Saturn FCB385 Fishing Inflatable Boat is a versatile inflatable fishing boat designed for anglers who want outstanding performance, durability, and portability. At 13 feet long, it offers a spacious cockpit with excellent stability, making it ideal for freshwater fishing, saltwater bays, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Constructed from premium German Heytex PVC with advanced HEAT-welded seams, the FCB385 is built to withstand years of recreational and fishing use. A full-length protective rub strake helps guard the hull against abrasion when launching from beaches, boat ramps, or rocky shorelines, while the non-slip EVA deck pad provides secure footing when casting, landing fish, or moving around the boat.

Designed specifically for anglers, the FCB385 includes four universal accessory mounting patches compatible with many popular fishing accessories, including optional Scotty®, Railblaza®, and similar rod holders, fish finders, camera mounts, cup holders, and other gear. Multiple stainless steel D-rings throughout the cockpit provide convenient attachment points for coolers, tackle bags, anchors, and additional equipment.

Integrated bow motor mount brackets allow quick installation of an optional bow-mounted electric trolling motor for precise boat positioning while fishing. The FCB385 also pairs perfectly with small gasoline outboard motors, giving you the flexibility to choose quiet electric propulsion or higher-speed gas power depending on your adventure.

Unlike traditional aluminum fishing boats, the Saturn FCB385 deflates into a compact package for easy storage and transportation. It fits in the trunk or cargo area of most cars, SUVs, and minivans, eliminating the need for a trailer while making it easy to take your boat to remote lakes, rivers, and fishing destinations.

FAQ:

Question: How to install optional keel?

Answer: The FCB385, 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 FCB385’s directional control and overall performance.
