Technical features
PVC fabric:
Boats of the “Explorer” series are made of durable five-layer PVC fabric with a density of 1100 g/m2. This guarantees high resistance to cuts, abrasions, exposure to motor fuel and lubricants, which extends the service life of the boat. The fabric does not wrinkle when the boat is stored in an inflated form, it perfectly withstands both high and low ambient temperatures.
Choice of the floorboard:
Boats can be equipped with two versions of the floorboards – aluminum with stringers (standard equipment) or inflatable air-deck. This allows you to make a choice that takes into account your needs and preferences. Each of these floorboards has its own unique features of installation and use, but both guarantee the boat high running and performance characteristics.
Reinforcement of keel and transom:
The keel lines are protected by a 12 cm wide protective strake, which provides additional strength and protection against impacts. The transom is also reinforced with a guard bar for durability and stability. The metal transom plate is also a feature of the DXL series.
Smooth contours and transom geometry:
The smooth contours of the boat and the changed geometry of the transom improve the seaworthiness, making the hydrodynamic properties better, and the trip even more comfortable and safer.
Overpressure valves and sliding seats:
Boats are equipped with overpressure valves to relieve excess pressure in tubes. Sliding seats provide stepless movement along the side of the boat, allowing you to conveniently choose a place to sit and place cargo.
Monolithic transom mounting supports:
Transom mounting supports are monolithic, which makes them several times stronger compared to traditional mounting with PVC tapes. This ensures high stability and safety.
Handles along the tubes:
Boats of this series are equipped with handles unique to all KOLIBRI boats – from three to five on each side. This adds safety when the boat is in motion or when embarking and disembarking from the vessel at the shore or pier.
