Gray KaBoat SK396 New Version (Click on images below to zoom in.)
12' Kayak/Inflatable Boat - KaBoat SK396

This new and revolutionary design, crossover between an
inflatable kayak and an inflatable boat – an inflatable kayak
with a plywood transom - KaBoat! To use it as a regular kayak,
just paddle it anywhere you want, such as on the: ocean, bay,
river or lake.
Benefits of KaBoat VS. conventional Kayak or Inflatable Boat:

  • Conventional plastic or fiberglass kayak requires significant storage space due
    to its large dimensions. KaBoat can be deflated and folded for easy storage,
    transportation.  
  • Kayak can be only paddled, but KaBoat allows you to use small gas or electric
    engine to cover larger distance. If you tired paddling, you can start using
    optional engine.
  • KaBoat is much more stable than a conventional kayak, allowing standing and
    walking inside the KaBoat. In fact, you can fish standing or even ride while
    standing.
  • KaBoat can be used for diving, snorkeling, and fishing, however not many
    conventional kayaks can offer similar functionality.
  • Due to the high buoyancy of its inflatable tubes, KaBoat can transport much
    larger cargo than regular kayaks.  
  • KaBoat allows you to go to the narrow or shallow places where regular inflatable
    boat will not go. Just raise an engine and paddle anywhere at least 5" deep.
  • Due to the smaller chambers it is much easier and faster to inflate KaBoat than a
    regular inflatable boat.
  • Because of narrow profile of the KaBoat and a much lower drag than a wide
    conventional inflatable boat, KaBoat can go faster with same rating engine than
    comparable size inflatable boat.
  • KaBoat can also be used as a dinghy to the yacht or sailboat, but takes much
    less space when deflated and folded. Also can be placed on a swimming platform.
  • KaBoat cost much less than any inflatable dinghies available today.
gas runs low, then use it as a kayak to paddle to your destination. KaBoat extremely portable and
will fit in a medium size bag.  Now you can go on vacation and take your small KaBoat with
you,(along with an optional small electric or gas engine). The main benefit is that if you get tired of
paddling, then you can use the engine to get back ashore.
You to stand, fly fish or even
get into those narrow spots
where other boats can't go   
to get the best fishing.
Plywood seats provides
excellent support and can
be customized by installing
folding fishing chairs with
swivel baseor canoe seats to provide
additional back  support for long trips.
An optional electric motor can act as a
Ride-Assist. Just set the throttle to the 1st
speed setting and it will help reduce rowing
exhaustion. On the 1st speed setting, an
electric run around 12 hours (depending on
battery size).A 30 lbs electric engine can cost
around $99 at most outdoor goods retail
stores.   
The SK396 KaBoat with an electric engine is ecologically friendly, environmentally clean and real
"green" boat!
The KaBoat can be easily be moved by one person and small fold able
handcart.  One person can easily move a KaBoat by holding the end
tubes and rolling the kayak with its bow placed on a hand cart. The new
generations of KaBoats have handles conveniently placed on the end
cones for that   specific  purpose.

Most Recent Customer Review of SK396:

"Hello, I purchased the SK396R and love it. The boat is better quality than
expected and is great since I live in an apartment. Set up time from the back of
my mini-van to water is about 5 minutes, I can often set it up and be out in the
water before larger solid-hull boats can get off of their trailers and going. With
my small outboard this things zips and since it doesn't weigh much at all, I barely
use a gallon of gas all day. Anyways thanks for making a fantastic boat that I can
afford on a college budget."
