I look at the brochure of inflatable dinghies made in Korea by
DongSeo. Their prices are very affordable but I wonder about their
quality and longevity. They are made with Heavy duty 1000 denier
polyester coated with PVC. Weight - 1100 g/m 2 Thickness - 0.9mm
instead of hypalon.
The Canadian Distributor recommended to protect the inflatable from
the sun with a fitted cover when not in use.
They come with marine plywood and high pressure airdeck floor. Again
the distributor favours the high pressure airdeck because of it light
weight? It would be nice to hear from sailors about what they think.

Not sure what an Airdeck floor is, but if it is anything like the
microcellular inflatable floor used in a lot of modern inflatable dinghies,
they are super, giving firnmess to the tread without the harsh stiffness of
plywood. Much easier to assemble too.

Have used such a dinghy for 3 seasons now without any apparent
deterioration.
