Small rubber boat IBOAT 160 Gen5 Superlight - Carbon Black

Inflatable boat for the trunk

The first trunk boat of its kind - and therefore the first smallest inflatable boat.

iBoat 160 – Generation 5 Superlight – carbon black – the original!

The innovative iBoat 160 – only available from us, the original version developed by Max Nollert!

The iBoat 160 is made from the same strong inflatable boat material as its siblings.

big brothers. A fish finder transducer pole and a small electric motor (ideally: Rhino Cobold) can be mounted on the included transom (not included).
When assembled, it fits into any station wagon trunk and is therefore ready for immediate use at any time.

The ideal companion for short sessions.
The dimensions available in almost all cars and station wagons are 160 cm in length and 95 cm in width:
– to quickly go and feed them without the hassle of pumping up/letting air out
– fast sonar exploration tours
– Emergency and safety boat for many situations when carp fishing
– A boat for long hikes; those who are handy can even convert it into a trolley.
– Second boat for longer trips
– Unhooking mat

Is the boat really stable?

Absolutely! Christopher Paschmanns , Meik Pyka and many other well-known anglers are thrilled and even stand up to look for feeding holes in it!
ALAN BLAIR & KEVIN NASH prefer to use the iBoat 160.

The new film . After 15 years of boatbuilding experience, this film is about inflatable boats from 1.6m to 10m in length. Nine different sizes, designed to help you decide. Choosing an inflatable boat can be a quick decision, but it's advantageous to learn about the various options and applications to find the right inflatable boat for your needs in the long run. I hope this film provides a good foundation for that. Max Nollert

High-tech PVC Decitex
This principle is familiar from high-quality jackets, for example – they don't have to be thick and heavy to be particularly durable and functional.
The latest development is now ready for series production, made of the best material, extremely durable.

What material is used?

Decitex 1100 (like GEN4, 0.9mm). New to GEN5 is the super-light coating, which is responsible for the green or black carbon color scheme. The boat has the same excellent durability.
It's somewhat easier in terms of the objective.

What is the maximum payload of the iBoat?
Technically rated for 130 kg, however, for those over 90 kg, careful attention must be paid to weight distribution within the boat. For example: Max Nollert is 195 cm tall and weighs 85 kg – for him, it's absolutely no problem! Is the high-pressure air floor truly stable?
Absolutely! Christopher Paschmanns, Meik Pyka and many other well-known anglers are thrilled and even stand up to look for feeding holes in it!

Mark Dörner from CarpZilla :
"Imperial Fishing's iBoats are extremely popular. No wonder, since Imperial Fishing was the first company to develop inflatable boats specifically for carp anglers. In our inflatable boat comparison, the iBoats also achieved the highest score , and the latest version features another world first: solid stainless steel oarlocks with metal rollers, completely screwed through – unbreakable."

The iBoats are true carp fishing boats, thoughtfully designed from front to back!

The interior volume increases even further with the slat floor (included in the delivery) .
