White Marlin 9.8' Air Floor -2022 Model - SB-300A - Air Floor Premium Heat Welded Dinghy with Seat Bag

Only have had the boat about a month now. Have used it about 10 times. Thing is holding up well an a lot of fun.10/08/2023 Update. Still riding boat. This thing is the Bees Knees. About 180 hours on it now. Have got it up to 30mph. Holding up well. Easy to keep clean with a Magic Eraser.

I did a lot of research including going to boat shows trying different dingy’s. I purchased the White Marlin inflatable floor 9’8” and just started using it. I use it as my tender for a larger boat. It handles well with my 8 HP motor and did 13 kts on smooth waters. Since I use it in hotter weather, white is extremely important as it reflects the heat and is comfortable to sit on. Most other brands are gray and are hot to the touch. The under the seat bag is terrific and holds a lot of items while keeping them dry. I will use the Marlin this summer for spear fishing and island hopping in the Bahamas.

An excellent quality boat at 70 Lbs. with welded seams, 20 plus mph. with a 15 hp motor and 2 adults. Wish it came with the optional floor pad which is a must have to protect the inflatable floor. I've had around 10 inflatable boats over the years including Zodiac, Saturn and Aqua Max and am very happy with this purchase! The light weight of the boat with the 15 hp rating was the deciding factor.

My dingy travels on my swim platform and picks up some diesel exhaust residue and white color gets soils very quickly and I have not found a PVC cleaner that will clean it up. Not happy with the PVC finish not being able to clean up. After 1 yr dingy looks terrible. Also bad design on drain valve. Drains very slow and clogs very easily so takes forever to drain.

I wanted an inflatable floor dinghy for my Odyssey 409 to get around when needed but not to leave inflated year round. I have been researching boats for about a year and contacted Inflatable Sport Boats about a bigger air floor model than the dolphin 8.8'. I purchased the white marlin 9.8 as soon as they released it and it's the perfect size for my needs. Easy set, literally unroll and inflate. The air floor seems very stable while using it in the ocean. My plan was to take the boat down often and store it, but we used it so much that I have been just leaving it up and towing it behind my sail boat. It has held up wonderfully, never needing to be re-inflated or topped off. I plan on buying inflatable sport boat's EVA foam teak flooring to install over my air floor for some added comfort in the next year or so. Great customer service from this company, they walked me through my needs and kept me updated regularly.

After years of owning a hard bottom zodiac and repairing it, I finally caved in and purchased a new dinghy. Picked the white marlin 9.8' air floor because of the heat welded seams and I was fed up with the hard bottom boats. Used it about 10 times now, taking it down and putting it back up. I love it. I'll never go back to the hard bottom. Nice design
