Tough economy and thinking out of the box brings about a new and unusual product – A crossover between an inflatable Kayak and a Boat – KaBoat!

Due to difficult economic times, consumers are cutting down on just about everything! However, outdoor recreations, such as boating and fishing still remain within reach of budget-conscious consumers, thanks to the a new and revolutionary invention. A crossover between an inflatable kayak and an inflatable boat – an inflatable kayak with a plywood transom - KaBoat! 

A crossover between inflatable kayaks and inflatable boats, KaBoats represent the best of both worlds. Modeled after narrow Asian Dragon boats and due to their narrow profile, KaBoats can go faster then standard inflatable boats with lower rated engines.

To use it as a regular kayak, just paddle it anywhere, such as on the: ocean, bay, river or lake. If you get tired, just use an electric or gas engine installed on the marine grade plywood transom. The KaBoat is extremely portable and will fit in a medium size bag. The KaBoat is light, and will run great with an inexpensive electric or small gas engine. 

KaBoats can be easily paddled with regular kayak paddles, allowing them to visit extremely shallow or narrow places. KaBoats are very stable. Customers can stand while fly-fishing and even get into those narrow spots where most other boats can't go, to get the best fishing. 

“I purchased KaBoat and love it,” Kevin of Richmond, VA said. “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." 

“Your KaBoats are GREAT,” Alex of Ontario, Canada added. “Making 10 mph (controlled by Garmin GPS) with 2 peoples on 2.5HP Suzuki outboard!" 

Benefits of KaBoat VS. conventional Kayak or Inflatable Boat:

1. Conventional plastic or fiberglass kayaks require significant storage space due to their large dimensions. KaBoats can be deflated and folded for easy storage and transportation. 
2. Kayaks can be only paddled, but the KaBoat allows you to use a small gas or electric engine to cover larger distances. If you get tired of paddling, you can start using an optional outboard engine.
3. KaBoats are much more stable than conventional kayaks, allowing for standing and walking inside the KaBoat. In fact, you can fish standing or even ride while standing.
4. The KaBoat can be used for diving, snorkeling, and fishing, however not many conventional kayaks can offer similar functionality.
5. Due to the high buoyancy of its inflatable tubes, the KaBoat can transport a much larger cargo than regular kayaks. 
6. KaBoat allows you to go to narrow or shallow places where regular inflatable boats will not fit. Just raise the engine and paddle anywhere that is at least 5" deep.
7. Due to its smaller chambers, it is much easier and faster to inflate a KaBoat than a regular inflatable boat.
8. Because of its narrow profile and a much lower drag than wide conventional inflatable boats, KaBoats can go faster with the same rated engine than comparable size inflatable boats.
9. KaBoats can also be used as a dinghy to a yacht or sailboat, but take up much less space when deflated and folded. KaBoats also can be placed on a swimming platforms.
10. KaBoats cost much less than any inflatable dinghies and most kayaks available today.
