* Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor that can be safely used to
plane boat loaded to the maximum capacity at the normal water surface condition. Please
exercise common sense and caution using maximum motor capacity. Do not jump from
waves to waves as new 4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide extra
strain on a transom. Under the normal circumstances, with a half of maximum
persons/load capacity, 50% of maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put boat
on plane.

I am writing to let you know that I am very pleased with my recent purchase of the SD430. I have to
admit that given the low price, I was expecting to find something wrong with the boat; however, try
as I may, I could not find anything wrong with this boat! This is an excellent boat at a fantastic price.
The Saturn SD-430 is nearly $1,000 cheaper than any other comparable boat I could find..."

"... My impression of the boat is very positive, I currently have a Mark II Zodiac brands (14 feet) and
this boat is at least as solid and robust as the Zodiac brands..."                                                                       
                                                                                                                                           Francisco, Monterey Bay

"I received my boat yesterday and here are my impressions.  I'm pleased with the apparent quality
of the SD430.  The tubes are larger diameter than even most of the Zodiacs and Avons that I've
seen... I like that!  It's really larger than I'd envisioned and appears very well made.  All seams are
neatly glued and the boat appears very rugged."                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                 Brian, Florida

"I am one happy Saturn-owner these days. She's running like a greased barracuda! Planes
beautifully, esp. with the hydrofoil I installed. You asked about SPEED with my 15hp Mercury
4-stroke motor. An experienced boat person estimated it runs full throttle at between 18 and
22mph. Or an average of 20mph."
                                                                                                                     Mark, Puerto Rico

"I am Canadian resident from Quebec and I test for the first time my SD430 with Mercury 25hp 4
stroke. The result is WOW! The boat is quiet the performance is outstanding and it let me drive very
easy. My summer will be very... thanks . Sorry for the English, I am French."
