Advanced Marine Advanced Cat Performance Inflatables Ac-330 Light Gray

Advanced Marine Cat Performance Inflatables Ac-330 Light Gray . Unique tunnel hull design creates unmatched performanceThese high-performance inflatable boats are among the most stable and efficient planing catamarans available today. Unique Catamaran Tunnel Hull design, oversize main tubes, and meticulous hand construction make Advanced Cats plane quicker with smaller motors, turn tighter at higher speeds, safely carry heavier loads and generally out-perform other inflatable boats costing much more. The Tunnel Hull is created with two high-pressure foil tubes covered in thick PVC fabric and custom-molded high-density rubber to form two wedge-shaped sponsons. These provide a good "bite" on the inside of a turn preventing lateral slippage and enabling extremely tight turns at speed. Includes high-pressure footpump, removable aluminum seat, two-piece aluminum oars or paddles, valve tool, manual and repair kit.

Cross-hatched, sharkskin bottom releases surface tension for reduced drag and faster planing. Square bow enables easy passenger loading.
