Can I lift it on my own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best things about the Ventura range is its \"SuperLite\" construction. The 230 model weighs in at just 15kg. This makes it incredibly easy for one person to handle, launch, and recover without straining your back—a massive advantage over traditional heavier inflatables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 'Ventura' and the 'Volante' models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ventura is part of Excel’s SuperLite series. While both have inflatable floors, the Ventura is specifically designed to be as light and portable as possible. It features a separate high-pressure inflatable floor and a slightly different tube configuration to keep the weight at that class-leading 15kg, whereas the Volante range is slightly heavier and more robust for permanent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size engine do I need for the Ventura 230?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maximum recommended engine for this model is 4hp (Short Shaft). Because the boat is so light, even a small 2.5hp or 3.5hp outboard will provide plenty of power for most users. If you purchase an outboard from us alongside the boat, we can often offer a package discount!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the boat made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built using 900 (HYTEX) PVC, which is high-grade, puncture-resistant material. The fittings are double-bonded for extra strength, and the transom is made from reinforced GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) to ensure it can handle the vibration and weight of your outboard engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it easy to set up and pack away?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The \"roll-up\" design means you can go from the boot of your car to the water in just a few minutes. It features a 3+1 chamber system (three in the tubes and one for the floor) and comes with a double-action inflation pump to speed things up. When you're done, the quick-deflate valves make it easy to pack back into its carry bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the correct air pressures for the tubes and floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best performance and safety:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Tubes: 3.60 psi (0.25 Bar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflatable Floor: 10 psi (0.70 Bar)\u003cbr\u003eThe boat also features a Pressure Release Valve to protect the tubes from over-inflation on hot days when air expands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit in the boot of a standard car?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. When deflated and stored in its carry bag, the Ventura 230 is very compact (roughly 90cm x 45cm x 25cm). It fits easily into most car boots, making it a perfect choice if you don’t have a trailer or a lot of storage space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of warranty do I get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeace of mind is standard here.
