How strong is a SOAR boat?
SOAR boats are built with a 30 oz. hypalon coating on the tubes and the top of the floor surface. The bottom of the floor is coated with 40 neoprene coating. An 840 denier nylon base fabric all over provides excellent puncture and tear resistance. Wilderness adventurers choose SOAR because it can handle “the rough stuff” — like taking direct hits from rocks as you pound your way down the narrow Selway on an August run, running over downed limbs on a swift moving river, or dragging your boat over shallow gravel bars on the Escalante.
