Inflatable air deck boat dinghy question?

Question

I just purchased a 12 foot Baltik inflatable. From any of you who have air deck inflatables (not RIB), how does the bottom hold up when getting into shallow shorelines with trees, and branches possibly scraping the bottom? Any horror stories, hopefully not. Heres the link to the inflatable. I realize this isn't a mercury, avon, zodiac, or achilles, so all of you with fiber glass or nicer inflatables please be friendly. Thanks.

Answer 1

I think it is great... You just need to be sure you coat her really well with some "Miracle Grow" before you put her in the water and who knows... she may grow up to be a real boat someday. LOL

I hope you accept my bit of humor as "friendly" enough. I personally have no experience with inflatables - but it looks nice.

Happy & Safe boating!

Answer 2

There are a couple of boat owners that have purchased a Baltik in our marina. They have had no problems running them up onto a sand or even coarse gravel/shell beach at all. No problems with branches puncturing the bottom either!

Have fun!
