​

  • Tube construction:  Quality, Tough 5 Layer, 0.9mm, 1000 denier -1100g/m2 custom made PVC, strong UV protection.

  • Custom made 1mm thick protective anti-skid topside with additional anti-UV additive, high-pressure laminated heat pressed to top layer for the best durability and rigidity.

  • Second-layer side rail re-enforcing tape making 1.8mm walls and additional air tightness.

  • Easy re-tubing: Unlike conventional ribs or inflatable boats Takacats can be re-tubed simply and cost effectively due to our revolutionary Tube Transom® and our fully removable high-pressure air deck floor system.

  • The tubes are not glued to a hull or transom so there is no hassle or costly process to have your aged of damaged tubes replaced - simply order direct from sales@takacat.co.nz or from your local dealer.

  • Most inflatable boats require the transom, floor, air decks / drop stich, fittings and fixtures to be glued onto the tubes. So when it comes to the seams we have chosen to use a Thermally Bonded Seam (welded) on all tubes and a glued seam on the air deck floors.

  • Stainless steel (304) Tube Transom®. 32mm cross beams, 0.25mm side tubes

  • Transom mounting boards made from 18mm marine ply painted

  • Transom eye bolt (316) 10mm thread
