Folded boat takes about as much space a medium luggage bag. Saturn FCB290 inflatable boat will get you closer to the surf, the fish, and the great outdoors, faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before.

  • Question: How to install optional keel?
  • Answer: See below example of keel installation for similar CB290 boat. While FCB290 boat was originally designed as a flat bottom boat, it is also possible to add optional DIY keel to improve performance and directional stability. It can be done by placing elongated semi-rigid structure under air floor while it deflated. There are 2 Velcro straps glued to the bottom of the boat, under air floor. These straps were designed to hold down for example foam swimming noodle, that can act as an improvised keel, or perhaps some other structure, such as shaped wooden keel for example. Easiest and simplest solution would be to purchase $3 large diameter foam swimming noodle in local retail store, such as Walmart or Target. That noodle will imitate inflatable keel when placed under air floor. It also could be possible to place PVC tubing inside that foam noodle, for additional rigidity. Two straps glued on bottom of boat, under air mat, will hold noodle down.

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 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 the boat on plane.

Nifty boat at a very cool price, it's fairly lightweight in comparison to the standard fishing models but ended up being the perfect choice for me.

The FCB290 is a durable, easy-to-use inflatable fishing boat. The manufacturer did not skimp on build quality...all seams are indeed heat-welded, transom should be able to easily handle an 8HP outboard. PVC is thick, should hold up well to wear & tear and obstacles in the water. Definitely enough room for 2 adult anglers, or 1 adult and 2 youth anglers. I use a 55 lb trolling motor with this boat...it's plenty of power to move the boat around small lakes, rivers, and creeks, and it's silent which makes it a breeze to approach those easily-spooked fish in a stealthy manner.

Inflates within minutes even with the hand pump. I recommend an electric high pressure dual-stage pump however with HR valve connector to make inflation easier and quicker.

The FCB290 is basically a ruggedized version of the CB290 with fishing rod holders...it's worth it though to get the rub strake protectors and the more rigid bottom to prevent punctures from fishing. Quality product that should last many years.

The separate internal air chambers and reliable one-way drain valve give me peace of mind while on the water. The lightweight hull and removable aluminum seat benches make it easy to customize the boat according to my needs. I appreciate the included accessories, such as the repair kit and carry bag, which add to the overall value of the package. If you're looking for an affordable fishing boat that offers great performance and functionality, the FCB290 is a fantastic option.

I must say, the Saturn FCB290 inflatable fishing boat has exceeded my expectations. Despite its budget-friendly price, the boat offers a remarkably smooth ride. The lightweight hull is extremely rigid and stable, and it performs exceptionally well on the water. The free second bench included with the online order was a pleasant surprise, making my fishing trips more comfortable.

Apart from performance, the FCB290’s design is very thoughtful. The splash guards over the transom and the flat bottom design make it suitable for different water conditions. The anchor D-ring and anti shafting rub strake provide added convenience during fishing. If you're on a budget but need a reliable and comfortable fishing boat, the Saturn FCB290 is an excellent choice.
