The new 2022 model with our "Triton" series improvements are hot! The Triton Series upgrades represent over $400 additional value and include; upgraded PVC construction ($75 value), heat-welded seam technology ($150 value), C/D7 style inflation valves ($80 value), and an extended 3-year warranty ($100 value). The boat technical specifications are nearly identical between the Triton model (TR470) and our standard version (SD/XHD470). These Triton series improvements incorporate the newest technologies in inflatable boat construction and provide an incredible value for those looking to put their boat to the test. If available, this option will be listed under the "Model" selection.
Our 15’ Saturn Heavy-Duty Inflatable Boat (XHD470 product code) is now made with
upgraded features only found in our largest Saturn boats. This workboat is
ideal for ocean conditions and commercial operations but is truly excellent for
nearly any water based activity, such as fishing, day trips or scuba diving. The
XHD470 version now comes standard with the upgraded sectional aluminum floor
($200 value). These boats have become extremely popular for those looking to
replace a hard bottom ocean-going boat and provides added portability to deflate/inflate
in under 10 minutes. It can handle up to 8 people and is very comfortable for a
group of 6.
The XHD470 Saturn inflatable boats
are made of 1100 DTEX Korean PVC fabric with polyester support that has
excellent resistance to tearing, tension and breaking. It is a much more
heavy-duty PVC fabric than most of our competitors with 1000 denier PVC boats.
The heavy-duty outer plastic layer protects the boat against UV rays, ozone and
abrasion, while the inner nylon reinforcement mesh layers provide added
strength and material adhesion. Double layers of fabric at the bottom of the
tubes and a rub-strake protector along the keel provide extra protection from
sharp rocks and abrasive sand. The safety valve will prevent excessive air
pressure in the boat's chambers.
Deflated, the XHD470 inflatable boat
will fold to the size of one large and heavy bag for the boat (56” x 36” x 20”
and about 140 lbs) and another heavy flat bag with the sectional floor (48” x
28” x 6” and about 90 lbs). The size of this boat makes it ideal for storing on
an open trailer but if deflated and folded, the XHD470 can be stored in the
back of your SUV, a large closet, or in your garage.
The 15'
Saturn Inflatable Boats (XHD470 and TR470 models) come standard with our
customized sectional heavy-duty aluminum floor. The bow section is made of a
marine grade plywood floor covered with a gray resin.
The advantages of our upgraded aluminum floor is its
durability and rigidity. Puncture-proof hard floors offer impressive
reliability and practicality.

SECTIONAL ALUMINUM FLOOR INSTRUCTIONS
Please
download Sectional Floor Assembly Manual under the “Attachments” section below (next
to Product Videos) for more information. Don't be frustrated if installation
seems challenging the first time. The initial installation is a tighter fit as the
inflatable boat material hasn’t been inflated and had the opportunity to
stretch. As with all things, installation will become much easier with each
following assembly/disassembly. It is recommended that installation be
completed by 2 people for our 14’ and larger inflatable boats in order to make
connecting each section easier, atleast during initial installation. The aluminum
side stringers are designed to cover joint points of floor sections and are not
intended to run the full length of the floor. If your floor incurs any damage
during use, make sure to file any sharp edges (ie. accidentally dropping a
floor section) or cover with duct tape during installation.
"I use my boat to go offshore fishing and take it 20 miles offshore on calm days to fish. When I bring all my fish into the boat ramp and clean them people constantly ask me about the boat. I attached some photos to show you the fishing success I have had on the boat. I also attached a link to an article in San Sentinel that was written about me and the Saturn. I just think the amount of miles I put on the boat are far more then most of your customers. Like I said before I take the boat 20 miles off shore and with trolling in between. I probably put 60 miles round trip on the boat most times I take it out. The positive part is I can travel all those miles and use only 5 gallons of gas." Adam M. Florida
