4.3m/14FT Island Inflatable Boat: Wood Floor, Australian Designed, Quality Build, Thermo Welded Seams
IW430 – 4.3m Island Inflatable Boat
The 4.3m Island Inflatables boat with wood floor (IW430) is the largest boat in the Island Inflatables range, making it extremely roomy. It’s perfect for scuba diving or spearfishing, as well as all sorts of aquatic day trips. But, despite its size, the IW430 is just as convenient and portable as its smaller siblings. Simply deflate and pack away in the provided carry bags until it’s time for your next adventure.
Made to Last
At Island Inflatables, we know you want to get the most out of your new inflatable boat. That’s why we have rigorously designed and tested our range, including the IW430, so they are built to handle the everyday rough and tumble of day boat trips.
It all starts with the materials. We use the heaviest grade of PVC material available before getting to the commercial grades used in the armed forces. At grade 1100 D-teck denier and 0.9mm thickness, the IW430 is the toughest inflatable boat around. Plus with an additional layer of PVC on the underside of each oversized tube, the IW430 has added protection from hidden rocks and shells for when it’s launched or moved along the shore.
Along with the best materials, we use the latest technology in high-frequency thermo welding to create extremely durable seams. Unlike standard inflatable seams, our seams won’t come apart on those hot summer days. Our standard over-inflation valve also helps on those scorching days and with the increased air pressure.
Similarly, we reinforce hardwearing features of your IW430 to easily handle trip after trip. Our transoms are made with marine ply that has been coated with epoxy and a rubber sealing applied on top. The large, heavy-duty stainless steel tow ring is mounted on a reinforced patch to provide superior strength and durability too.
Designed for Your Comfort
As part of our design process, we’ve focused on the details to ensure you always have a smooth and comfortable ride, and can stay dry until you decide it’s time to dive in.
For starters, we’ve designed our tubes to be oversized. This provides more stability, getting you that smooth, dry ride. And if there are any splashes, the one-way bung can be removed to drain any water on the floor. Plus, we’ve moved the grab or safety rope to the top of the tube, rather than where it traditionally sits on the side of the tube. This means you can comfortably lean back without the rope digging into you or being in your way. However, it is still accessible if you need it.
When it comes to operation of your inflatable boat, we’ve included both an internal and external outboard mounting plate to suit your preference. Additionally, we’re proud of our design innovation to develop internal rear carry handles. This means that the fully inflated IW430 can be carried by a single person. Plus, moving the handles to the interior prevents them from scratching other boats, like your yacht or cruiser, if your inflatable boat bumps against it.
Even the colour we’ve chosen has been picked with functionality and your comfort in mind. The light grey colour easily hides marks and dirt, but it is not so light as to painfully reflect the sun’s rays or so dark as to absorb them and heat up the boat.
