Question about Inflatable Boats?

Question

Do people ever fill these up with something other than oxygen? Might it be beneficial to fill it with helium or another lighter gas? or would that just be a waste of time/money.

Answer 1

filling with oxygen would be unbelievable dangerous.

why not just use regular old atmospheric air?

Answer 2

I would stick with air. You dont want to make something as light as an inflatable "lighter" when your skimming across the water. Your gonna end up flipping over backwards. Being around a marina, I have never heard of anyone doing this. Besides, air is the cheaper way to go.

Answer 3

i have seen people fill them with diferent gases. I dont know why.

Answer 4

oxygen would be better its a waste  of time to do that unless the only thing there was  helium or gas when there's no air but there's air in the world so it wont be necessary

Answer 5

It might deteriorate the material there made of>
