Saturn 14' Heavy-Duty Fishing Inflatable KaBoat™ FKB430.

Slim profile for better speeds with smaller outboards. Inflatable V-Keel. Heat welded seams!

Narrow profile means this boat can go faster with smaller outboard motors! New addition to our popular extra heavy-duty series of FB fishing inflatable boats - Saturn KaBoat with extra features, to take fishing to the next level. Real fishing machine!

With similar features as Saturn FB boats, but more slim, narrow hull for going faster with smaller outboard engines. Even 5-6HP will fly that boat nice and easy.

FKB430 Fishing KaBoat features extra wide rub strakes along keel and bottom tubes. There are also extra wide rub strakes also on top of tubes. Protection all around!

Similar to Saturn FB series inflatable vessels FKB430 also feature set of two grommeted PVC strips that are shifted off center of tubes, leaving more than enough space to store fishing rods, bags and gear on top of tubes. Any type of cargo, duffel bags, boxes, etc can be lashed down using bungee cords, ropes, tied downs or straps using grommets in splash guards. Area between splash guards protected by extra wide rub strake, so that to avoid accidental damages to top of boat tubes.

I have been using the Saturn 14' FKB430 KaBoat for a few months now and have been thoroughly impressed. The slim profile allows for better speeds with smaller outboard motors - this really sets it apart. The addition of extra wide rub strakes along the keel and bottom tubes is a testament to the sturdy construction and thoughtfulness of design.

The PVC strips are ingeniously placed to allow more storage space on top of the tubes, which has been tremendously helpful during my fishing trips. The option to add a motor mount in the bow section further enhances the utility of this KaBoat. The FKB430 is the perfect fishing companion, blending innovation and durability in a sleek package.

I have been afraid to take out my inflatables to the nearby river and stream, there are quite a lot of branches that stick out of the water close to shore as well as places where some rocks stick out and often one can accidentally go over them. So I was stoked to be able to purchase this boat, it is indeed heavy-duty, it's strong and it feels structurally very well built with lots of reinforcement everywhere. I do try and avoid them as much as I can but now I have the peace of mind knowing my inflatable is built like a tank, I feel likes it's less likely to puncture or have any abrasions while going along the stream. Last weekend I did accidentally go over some branches, I felt them as I went over, and later on, I flipped the boat over and I could see the rubber had been scratched a bit but it was superficial, the extra rubber did its job well.
