11' Inflatable Boats SD330W

Purchased in 2021, I've had no issues with my boat. Using it with a 24v 86lb trolling motor I'm getting about 5mph loaded down with my family of four onboard. Material is tough and thick, there have been no leaks. Seems to be handling moderate usage and UV very well. Gets rolled up and stowed in my hot garage in between outings.

The stow-bag uses straps that did degrade either with heat or UV, I'm having them replaced at an upholsterer. Not enough of an issue to mark the boat down. I'd get a bimini, if possible. We wish we had one! Next purchase is a predator 212 and a longtail mud motor kit, should be good for 12-15mph then, for around 600 bucks!

I have had my Saturn SD330W for about 3 weeks now and I have had it out on the water twice for some log river and lake cruises. This is my first inflatable boat and everyone I told about my purchase thought I would immediately be eaten by an alligator and the boat would sink. This boat is tough! Once you see it in person you will realize how well constructed the Saturn boats are. My wife who was very skeptical now loves cruising on the water and taking in the views. 3 separate tube chambers, an inflatable keel and an air floor make it very safe. I have no worries about sinking or a tube puncture, the material is very strong. I have a new 6hp Suzuki that pushes it along fine but is a bit slow with 6hp since I opted for the wide version of the SD330. If you are looking for speed more HP is what you need. My current setup is a cruiser, perfect for a leisurely cruise up a river or on a lake, not land speed records. I have had 4 people aboard with room to spare. I actually carry the entire boat in my subcompact 3 cylinder Mitsubishi Mirage with room for a passenger, the engine and everything else. With the transom wheels I am able to set it up and get the boat in and out of the water with ease by myself. Using a high pressure pump it only takes about 30 min to get ready. This boat is great and I am already looking to purchase a Saturn KaBoat for a trip to the Keys and Everglades.

Waited a few years to write review. We bought this extra wide 11' boat in spring of 2016. Now in 4th season of use. Besides the travel trailer, this was the next best purchase for our camping needs. Boat has had 2.5hp and 15hp 4stroke motors on transom. IMO 9.9-15hp motors will put you on plane. We have myself, wife, and 9yr + 10yr old, fishing gear and cooler on board and the boat does about 12-15mph with our 15hp yammy. Get the wheels as it is much easier to move around. No durability issues at all. Highly recommend interlocking foam floor barrier between you and drop stitch floor as it has saved us from fish dorsal and ventral spines on a number of occasions. Our cousin just bought the 18' from boatstogo. Can't wait to to see it. Great product and will purchase 11' wide again after probably another 6-10 years of use.

We love it. Extra wide allows you to sit sideways and stretch your legs. Very balanced and stable. 4 people can ride comfortably but more could fit. Room to move around is really a great feature. We can place crab baskets and have room for people too. Keep in mind: Heavier and not as fast as narrow versions. Need 3 people to easily maneuver, although two can do it.

Is there anything more relaxing then a day out fishing? To me, the answer is a resounding “no.” I just love floating around, casting a line, and waiting for the bite. That’s why when I chose my latest fishing boat, comfort was one of the main factors that went into my final decision. After taking a careful look at all of my options, I ended up purchasing an Extra-Wide 11’ Saturn Inflatable Fishing Boat. And what a great decision it was!\r\n\r\nWhy do I consider this such a perfect boat for fishing? Here are a few great reasons:\r\n\r\n1. Comfort. As I said earlier, I like to be comfortable when I’m out for a relaxing day of fishing. I bet you feel the same way. And the Extra-Wide Saturn Inflatable Fishing Boat has features that provide just what I was looking for. For one, the body shape was uniquely designed specifically to give passengers more room for themselves and their gear. At 79” wide, the interior of this boat is significantly more spacious then other boats in its class. Believe it or not, the passenger space of this 11’ long boat is big enough to support multiple beach chairs or a lounger. You can even bring a little table and chairs along for the day!\r\n\r\n2. Convenience. In general, inflatable boats are significantly more convenient than similar sized solid hull boats, and the Extra-Wide Saturn Inflatable is no different. For starters, inflatable boats like this one can be quickly deflated and easily stored anywhere, taking up very little space. This is also a major benefit when you want to bring your boat with you when you travel, since there will be no need to tow it with a trailer. And with the easy-to-use pump, the boat can be quickly re-inflated on site and put right into the water!\r\n\r\n3. Performance. Despite being wider than most other 11’ boats, the Extra-Wide Saturn Inflatable can still perform at a high level. The round end tubes have been designed specifically to increase performance, which has helped my boat plane evenly even as I use it with the maximum-suggested 15 HP motor. Add that to the rigid, heavy-duty hull, and this boat performs at a way higher level then you ever dreamed! \r\n\r\n4. Durability. When I mentioned to my friends that I bought this inflatable boat, almost all of them had the exact same first question. “Won’t that thing pop?” This is obviously something I researched extensively before deciding on an inflatable boat, and I found out something interesting. Inflatable boats, when made correctly, are incredibly durable! For instance, the Extra-Wide Saturn Inflatable is constructed out of 1100 Denier Reinforced PVC, which makes it almost impossible to puncture. Add that to the separate internal air chambers, and this boat is both extremely versatile and incredibly safe.\r\n\r\n5. Cost. Despite all the previous great things I just told you about this boat, cost might actually be its greatest asset. Compared to its hard-hull counterparts, the Extra-Wide 11’ Saturn Inflatable Fishing Boat is extremely cheap. But purchase cost isn’t the only way you are going to save significant dollars. Don’t forget that you don’t need to pay for docking your boat if you go with an inflatable. Add that to the fact that you don’t need a trailer to tow your boat (and a truck to tow the trailer), and the savings continue to add up without you even having to sacrifice performance. That’s why for me, choosing this boat was a no-brainer!\r\n
