The Island iCAT285 inflatable catamaran paired with the Parsun 9.8hp outboard delivers serious performance in a highly portable package. Designed for boaters who want maximum power without moving to a trailer boat, this setup offers fast planing, impressive load carrying, and confident handling in a wide range of conditions.
As the maximum rated horsepower for the iCAT285 hull, the Parsun 9.8hp transforms this compact inflatable catamaran into a capable high-speed adventure boat ideal for fishing, island hopping, coastal exploring, camping trips, and family boating.
Constructed using premium Valmex® German PVC for outstanding durability, superior UV resistance, and long-term reliability in harsh Australian conditions.
Features upgraded EVA foam decking that provides excellent grip, improved comfort underfoot, heat resistance, and additional protection for the high-pressure air floor.
The advanced tunnel hull catamaran design delivers exceptional stability at rest and underway, making it easy to stand, move around the boat, or re-board from the water safely.
High-Frequency Thermo-Welded seams provide superior structural strength compared to traditional glued seams and are designed to handle extreme Australian temperatures.
The catamaran hull configuration helps reduce spray while improving ride comfort and stability in choppy conditions.
The Parsun 9.8hp is a lightweight twin-cylinder 4-stroke outboard designed to deliver maximum performance with excellent portability.
Unlike smaller single-cylinder motors, the twin-cylinder design produces significantly less vibration for a smoother, quieter, and more refined boating experience.
At only 38kg, the Parsun 9.8hp is one of the lightest motors in its class, delivering strong acceleration, fast planing, and impressive carrying capability while still remaining manageable for portable boating setups.
The through-prop exhaust system improves efficiency and helps reduce engine noise for more enjoyable cruising.
Features Forward-Neutral-Reverse gear selection and twist-grip throttle control for responsive handling and easy manoeuvring around boat ramps, beaches, and tight waterways.
Island Inflatable Boats have been Australian designed since 2000, focusing on producing some of the driest, safest, and most stable inflatable catamarans available. The iCAT285 continues that reputation with exceptional portability, premium construction, and class-leading on-water performance.
