Our LSI boats were the first inflatable tenders made with Achilles CSM - reinforced high pressure air floors.
For 2014, we have modified the tube design of these models to incorporate a lateral seam, giving the boat a sleeker, more modern European looking design. In addition we replaced the lifelines on the previous LSI models with webbed "grab" handles and a webbed helmsman grip. These changes result in a much cleaner looking boat. The high pressure inflatable floors have also been modified using a darker gray polyester core CSM fabric which has resulted in a stiffer floor offering better performance than the previous Air Firm floor.
The world's best high-pressure air floor tenders are better than ever thanks to their Performax tube design. Our Performax tube design provides more buoyancy and a greater load capacity essential for today's heavier 4-stroke motors. This tube design also results in a longer waterline enabling our LSI series dinghies to plane even quicker and stay on plane at slower speeds.
The additional support of an air keel increases floor rigidity and along with a fiberglass-encased transom** enhances overall performance. With large tube diameters, LSI tenders carry heavy loads despite their light weight. There are six different LSI model sizes to choose from. No other manufacturer's air floor tenders offer more convenience, more quality or more choices.
