FAQs

Does this boat come with a motor?

No, the Aircat is supplied as a hull-only package. Motors must be purchased separately.

Can I stand up on the floor?

Yes, the Drop Stitch air deck provides a rigid surface that is stable enough for standing while fishing.

How long does it take to inflate?

With a manual hand pump, it typically takes 10-15 minutes. Using an electric pump can reduce this time significantly.

Is it safe for saltwater?

Yes, it is designed for saltwater, but ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every outing to prolong the life of the material.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

Please consult the data plate on the boat for the specific load capacity and maximum horsepower rating for the 2.85m model.

Troubleshooting

Boat feels soft after inflation

Check the valve seals for debris and ensure they are tightened securely using the included valve wrench.

Water appears inside the tunnel area

This is normal during transit; however, if water is pooling on the deck, check that the air deck pressure matches the recommended PSI for maximum rigidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Incredibly stable platform compared to V-hull inflatables
  • Lightweight construction for easy transport and handling
  • High-speed performance due to low-drag tunnel hull
  • No boat trailer required for storage or transport
  • Spacious deck layout for gear and passengers

Cons

  • Requires significant manual inflation time
  • Sensitive to sharp objects despite durable materials
  • Not intended for extreme whitewater conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Aircat, lay the hull flat on a clean surface, free of sharp debris. Use the included high-pressure pump to inflate the main air chambers first, followed by the air deck, ensuring each reaches the recommended PSI.

Compatibility: This model is compatible with most electric outboard motors or small gas-powered motors (check manufacturer weight limits before mounting).

Care: Always rinse the catamaran with fresh water after use, especially if used in saltwater, to prevent corrosion on fixtures. Ensure the boat is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent mold. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
