Sevylor Colossus 3-Person Inflatable Boat
Tough and versatile, the Sevylor Colossus three-person inflatable boat excels whether you're maneuvering rapids, meandering down a stream, or bringing guests out to your yacht. The Colossus is made of durable 20-gauge PVC, with four separate air chambers to ensure extra security and puncture-resistance on the water. The boat is also guaranteed not to leak thanks to Sevylor's exclusive Airtight system, which teams up with the boat's Double-Lock valves to keep air from escaping from any part of the boat. And it's easy to maneuver the boat using the pair of oarlocks, which steady the oars while you turn. The three-person Colossus is so reliable that it's certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).The three-person Colossus--which includes a front handle and an all-around grab line--measures 8 feet 6 inches by 3 feet 10 inches, supports up to 680 pounds, and carries a 90-day warranty.About SevylorThe road from Sevylor's founding in 1948 to its current role as the dominant supplier of a wide range of inflatables--such as kayaks, boats, and towables--is a long one, with plenty of original inventions and innovations along the way. Established in a city suburb of Vitry, France, by electronics engineer Berco Grimbert, Sevylor originally built electrical accessories, with a sideline business dedicated to using its high-frequency welding machines to manufacture PVC consumer goods. The first inflatable to receive rave notice was a small bathtub called the Dou Dou. Perfect for postwar France, the inflatable tub was portable, convenient, practical, easy to clean, durable, and, best of all, affordable.After moving to the picturesque Alsatian village of Buhl, the company expanded into developing valves, pumps, boats, inflatable pools, and a variety of water toys. In the ensuing years, Sevylor first developed a PVC that had "memory"--meaning it could return to its original shape regardless of temperature--and then made history by releasing an inflatable pool mattress with a headrest and circular pockets. In 1986, the company invented the Ski Bob, a real turning point in the evolution of the towables business. Today, Sevylor's innovative designs include tenders, hunting and fishing boats, specialty boats and kayaks, towables, snow tubes, air beds, pool floats, river tubes, swim and sport rings, and more.
