HP 275 & HP 310 High Pressure Inflatable Floor Rollup Sport Boats
Multiple layers of copolymer fabric with thousands of drop stitches per square inch result in an extremely rigid, lightweight hull-stiffening system that eliminates many of the weight and setup problems typical of conventional plywood floorboard boats—without sacrificing performance. With impressive rigidity, these boats accelerate quickly and reach impressive speeds, while requiring less horsepower than comparably-sized “hard-floor” boats. Plus, the 16"dia. tubes give great stability.
The inflatable keel gives the hull a responsive shallow V-shape. Set up and launch takes about 10 minutes. Includes Bravo-10 bellows foot pump. Valves are semi-recessed for safety. A self bailer helps drain water. The rubbing strake protects the tubes from abrasion and puncture. Includes a wooden bench seat, aluminum oars, oarlocks, lifelines, a pair of towing rings and bow handles, bellows pump, carry bag and repair kit.

Comments about HP 275 & HP 310 High Pressure Inflatable Floor Rollup Sport Boats:
This was our sailing dinghy. The transom fell off and submerged our engine. This is not a safe boat. I would not recommend it for any distance away from your boat or certainly not at night. It is dangerous, not made of marine plywood (particle board for the transom). Ours was not the first transom to fall off. There should be a product recall on this.
Pros
- Easy to assemble
- Performs well
- Stable/seaworthy
- Stores compactly

Comments about HP 275 & HP 310 High Pressure Inflatable Floor Rollup Sport Boats:
I'm very enthusiastic about the performance of the HP-310. It is far superior to my previous roll-up, inflatable bottom dinghy. It rolls into a small package that is easy to carry on my 33-foot sailboat. It is easy to inflate. The real advantage, however is the performance. The boat tracks well and is easy to row. It planes easily and is stable and dry. I was delighted with how it handled choppy conditions. I was able to stay up on a plane when other dinghies had to slow down to keep from getting swamped. And with a 9.8 horse outboard, the boat can really fly. The only problem was that one of the plastic clasps on the cover broke--those could stand to be beefed up a bit.
Pros
- Durable
- Easy to assemble
- Inflates easily
- Performs well
- Pump included
- Stable/seaworthy
- Stores compactly
Cons
- Bottom unstable underfoot
Best Uses
- Fun runabout
- Tender for cruising boat
Comments about HP 275 & HP 310 High Pressure Inflatable Floor Rollup Sport Boats:
This inflatable is sturdy and well made (in France)- the quality is evident. the inflated bottom feels softer than plywood or fiberglass and a little unstable underfoot when climbing aboard, but is fine when underway. I would probably get a glass bottom one if this wears out. Rolls up very well into a small case.

Merchant response: The transom is made from marine plywood that is boil tested for 13 hours before it is released to the public. It is definitely not particle board.
