The Arrow Backpacker Pontoon Boat
There are many kinds of boats. One of the more uniquely shaped boats is a pontoon boat.
A pontoon either refers to the floats that comprise the main part of the boat or the boat itself. In case of the former, the floats support a structure on the water. This structure might be as simple as a flat deck or as complicated as a house-like or cabin-like structure.
While many pontoon boats can accommodate a group of people, there are some manufacturers who make pontoon boats that are large enough for just one person. These pontoon boats are made for anglers who prefer to fish alone. One such manufacturer is Classic Accessories.
One of Classic Accessories' best selling items is their Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat. Sold at $ 237, it is fishing floatable boat with full features, that can be carried around in a back.
The Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat is very light. Deflated and folded, it can fit into a backpack with its oars and foot pump. The entire package weighs 42 pounds, making it easy to carry around. Because it can be deflated, a person can carry the entire Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat through the bush and woods, places where hard shell boats are impossible to carry around.
Inflated, the Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat is 96 inches in length, 54 inches in width and 32 inches in height. Although the boat is small, it can carry 350 pounds of weight. The pontoons themselves are made out of heavy duty, abrasion resistant materials.
The Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat also features armrest storage compartments. Each storage compartment has a big center pocket, two sloped gear pockets, four end mesh pockets, four end mesh pockets and an inset drink pocket. Larger items such as marine batteries and coolers can be placed on its back storage platform.
The boat also has footrests that can be adjusted to any leg height. These footrests provide leverage when rowing the boat.
The Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat can be assembled without any tools. It is also quite safe against puncturing, thanks to its dual compartment pontoon safety bladders. For improved visibility, the chair is positioned high above the pontoon.
When newly purchased, the Arrow Backpacker pontoon boat package includes a backpack with a well cushioned lumbar rest, shoulder straps that are adjustable and a hip belt. The package also includes 6 foot aluminum oars and steel oar locks. Lastly, a foot pump is included so that the boat can be inflated quickly.
