New Model V3.0 - German Heytex PVC, Heat Welded Seams, Fiberglass Covered Transom, Premium Quality.

Presenting the 8.6' SATURN SD260 Inflatable Dinghy Boat, engineered to serve as an exceptional tender for yachts or sailboats!

Embarking on maritime adventures demands reliable equipment, and the Saturn SD260 is primed to fulfill that need with its lightweight design and minimal storage footprint when deflated. Capable of accommodating up to a 8 HP short shaft outboard motor and a maximum of 3 passengers, this inflatable vessel doubles as a lifesaving raft in emergency situations.

At the heart of the SD260 lies its high-pressure drop stitch air deck floor, a hallmark of Saturn's commitment to premium quality. Engineered to withstand pressures of up to 9 psi, this floor offers exceptional rigidity once properly inflated. Not only does the air floor contribute to the boat's portability and compactness during deflation, but it also streamlines the assembly and disassembly process, requiring only inflation with the included hand pump. Deflation is equally effortless, facilitated by opening all air valves and rolling the boat from the transom or utilizing an electric pump for rapid air removal.

Technical Specifications:

• Length: 8.6'
• Material: German Heytex PVC
• Seam Technology: Heat Welded Seams
• Transom: Fiberglass Covered
• Capacity: Up to 3 persons
• Motor Compatibility: Up to 8 HP short shaft outboard motor

Versatility defines the SD260, excelling as a small rowing dinghy ideal for reaching sailboats or embarking on fishing expeditions. Its high stability allows for comfortable rowing experiences and even facilitates activities such as stand-up fly fishing or boarding yachts. A staple for RV enthusiasts and those seeking a swift and budget-friendly aquatic experience, the SD260 is a testament to Saturn's commitment to accessibility without compromising quality.

Furthermore, the SD260 boasts robust protective features, including double layers of fabric at the tube bottoms and a rub-strake protector along the keel, safeguarding against abrasive environments. Additionally, the safety valve regulates air pressure within the boat's chambers, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Enhancements in the latest version, the Saturn SD260 V2.0, include an all-around splash guard with strategically placed grommets for seamless attachment of bimini and gear, while the splash strip elevates the aesthetic appeal of the tubes, exemplifying Saturn's dedication to continual improvement and customer satisfaction.

New features further improve inflatable boats durability and practicality:

• Air valves have been moved toward the inside of boat's tubes and away from direct exposure to the elements. This will allow easier inflation from inside the boat and will minimize damage caused by sun and rain while the boat is stored uncovered for prolonged periods of time. Rain water will not accumulate inside the valves.
• Triangular symmetrical splash guards were installed on the transom corners to provide the sensitive transom of an uncovered boat with additional protection and shade from the elements throughout extended periods in Tropical environments.

Quick Tip! Worried about puncturing the air floor with a fishing hook, dog claws or sharp object? Get a piece of vinyl flooring or rubber mat from your local hardware store. Cut the vinyl to fit inside the boat, over the floor and your air floor will be almost indestructible! When deflating, just roll it up along with the boat for future use.
