How long do inflatables last? Assuming normal wear and tear? |

Keep them out of the oster shell and they should last 20 plus years?? |

I have an 1986 Zodiac dingy made out of the same stuff, still going strong. Keep your inflatable stored out of the sun, clean, and dry for a long life. |

Well, mine is not yet two years old,and am beginning to have issues. Where the "rubber" attaches to the "nose piece" of the keel started leaking air after about six months. I have finally managed to get that to stop but in the process the two "ears" of the nose piece have broken off. I have had to reglue several things, most notably the attachments for the seats. But we do use ours a LOT. In a tough tropical environment: http://2gringos.blogspot.com/search/lab ... le%20Kayak |
