The SD430 uses 1100 denier Heytex PVC reinforced with polyester, 20 in tubes, heat-welded seams and a fiberglass-covered transom. A 5-section heavy-duty aluminum floor comes standard. It also has removable dinghy wheels on the transom, a rub strake along the keel and a safety valve to prevent over-inflation.

Good to know
- Saturn notes that 4-stroke motors are much heavier than 2-strokes, so check your motor’s weight against the 175 lb limit, not just the horsepower.
- Use the transom wheels to roll the boat up the beach instead of dragging the tubes over rocks and sand.
