Motor fishing catamarans: rating of the best models, types

The catamaran belongs to a rather specific watercraft, consisting of two inflatable balloons connected by a frame. The frame design can be any, but if it is a fishing catamaran, then the frame is usually inflatable.

This design has a number of advantages, which include ease and convenience in the process of transportation. The design, when using lightweight materials, is so light that it can be moved to another place alone. If the catamaran is lowered, then everything will fit into a small bag, which will not take up much space in the car trunk. Some designs are packed in backpacks, which facilitates the process of transportation.

As for motor catamarans, they must have a very rigid base. In order for the craft not to be overweight, only light materials are used in the design.

As far as is known, inflatable models of catamarans do not exceed 20 kg in weight. Despite this, they have an enviable carrying capacity, within 300 kg.

Types of catamarans for fishing under the motor

Catamarans with a motor are characterized by the presence of comfort and convenience in the process of traveling along rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other bodies of water. Such boats are equipped with monocylinders.

The design of the catamaran allows you to organize a kind of deck of a certain rigidity, which can rise above the surface of the water. This is the most suitable option for fishing, especially since up to 10 people can fit on the deck. In addition, the design of the catamaran allows you to cover long distances. As for the problem of transportation, nothing is impossible here either. Any fisherman is not opposed to acquiring such a watercraft, or making it with his own hands.

Models with a flexible locker

These are the most promising models to date. They are made of PVC materials and have a boom of medium thickness. The air valve of the craft is located in the stringer area. The average density of the material from which the inflatable elements are made is 800 grams / per square meter. Such devices have certain advantages associated with the ability to install fairly large cylinders. Mounting device type – cruciform. The approximate price for such boats is about 60 thousand rubles.

Models with a rigid locker

For fishing at shallow depths, models with a rigid locker are more suitable. Although today some designs are known that are designed for only 2 passengers. The design includes two supports that are attached under the filing.

The device is also made of PVC materials. Cylinders are attached on both sides of the stringer. There are also designs with ballers, where the cylinders are located above the surface of the boom. Here, materials of a slightly lower density are used – 700 g / square meter. Rubber patches are used here.

This pleasure will cost 50 thousand rubles.

Features of models for two beams

Similar designs are also in great demand, despite the fact that they are designed for two anglers. At the same time, their carrying capacity reaches 300 kg with a length of 3,5 meters.

In almost all models, the thickness of the stringers does not exceed 1,3 mm. Patches are placed only on the surface of the cylinders. When choosing, you should pay special attention to the security of the bow. Fasteners of all elements are made by means of crosses. If you have 55 thousand rubles, then you can go to a specialized store.

Catamarans with three beams

These boats can take on board 4 people, with a carrying capacity of 500 kg. The lockers of these devices do not have great rigidity, although there are designs where 2 supports are provided. These boats, basically, have two cylinders each. The width of the catamaran for fishing does not exceed 1,3 meters. Air valves are located in the stringer area. You can fill the cylinders with air within 10 minutes. These structures use particularly durable materials. You can buy such a catamaran for 45 thousand rubles.

Models with low legs

Such models do not allow the installation of powerful engines. As a rule, they are equipped with two or three cylinders. In addition, some models are equipped with stringers, which are mounted on PVC pads. They are designed for a load capacity of up to 300 kg. In this case, cylinders of medium diameter are used.

There are designs with stocks and with a rubber boom. Such a watercraft costs within 55 thousand rubles.

High leg models

Such designs are designed to install motors of increased power. The length of some structures reaches 4 meters. As a rule, cylinders of a larger diameter are installed in such boats. As for the lockers, they have an average degree of rigidity. Models with two or three passenger seats are available. For fastening the supports, additional extensions are used. The thickness of the stringers does not exceed 1,4 mm. For the manufacture of cylinders, PVC material is used, with a high density (up to 800 g / square meter). The frame is made exclusively from duralumin. Such a watercraft costs within 60 thousand rubles.

Motor catamaran models

Nowadays, you can find various designs of fishing catamarans made of PVC materials. To make the right choice, you will have to study several specific models. At the same time, we should not forget that you can make a catamaran with your own hands. Structures for the motor always have a rigid structure made on the basis of aluminum materials. The use of lightweight materials allows you to get a fairly lightweight design, weighing no more than 20 kg. Despite the lightness, the carrying capacity of such watercraft is not less than 300 kg.

Catamarans “Taimir”

The length of the catamaran is 3,5 meters, with a carrying capacity of up to 450 kg. This is a fairly popular watercraft in our time. Booms with overlays are used in the design, and patches are located on the surface of the cylinders. Stretching is installed on the side of the structure. The material from which the cylinders are made is characterized by high density, and the work is of high quality. The kit also includes oars, so that, in case of unforeseen situations, you can always return to your original place. Fasteners of the entire structure are made exclusively on the crosses. The density of the material is 780 g / square meter. Such a model costs within 55 thousand rubles.

Catamaran “Rotan”

Models of the “Rotan” type should be attributed to professional watercraft, as they have high characteristics of stability and speed of movement. During planing, the surface of the bottom of the catamaran does not come into contact with the surface of the water, since the movement is carried out exclusively on skegs. As a result, the area of ​​contact with water is negligible, so the catamaran accelerates to a significant speed without any problems.

Catamarans “Rotan” are distinguished by smoothness in the presence of unrest, and significant ones. The height of the sides and the presence of an air cushion between the water and the bottom of the boat contribute to the softness of movement, a certain comfort and safety when driving.

Characteristics of the catamarans “Delta 300”

Almost all modifications of Delta catamarans differ little from each other. The only advantage of this design is a large carrying capacity, about 500 kg, with the ability to accommodate up to 4 people on deck. Booms serve as protective devices for the bow. The density of the material used in the construction is about 700 g/m45. It costs about XNUMX thousand rubles, which is not so expensive for such a design.

Technical data of catamarans “Delta 350”

The construction uses a multi-layer reinforced PVC material with a density of up to 850 g/mXNUMX. In addition, the material has high elasticity. Plus, this material is very resistant to aggressive environments, UV radiation, sunlight and other negative natural factors.

For greater safety, each cylinder is divided into 2 compartments, which are hermetically separated.

Catamarans “Delta 380”

If we compare a catamaran with a conventional inflatable boat, then the latter is much inferior in terms of stability and unsinkability. This is very important when fishing in rough conditions. Here the catamaran has no equal. Even in the presence of large waves, the catamaran is able to develop a decent speed, moving steadily and smoothly.

The boat is placed in a small backpack. This ease of transportation allows you to easily move to the place of fishing, even if it is not so easy to get to it. The whole structure weighs 19,4 kg, and costs only 40 thousand rubles.

Buster models

These are models made of PVC materials, which are very popular. This is due to the fact that the boat has 4 passenger seats. Rubber patches are used here, but there is no boom. Stretching is located directly on the surface of the cylinders. The catamaran has a length of 4,3 meters. Stringers are of medium thickness. For the manufacture of cylinders, PVC material was used, having a density of about 700 g / square meter. The design includes two air valves. This pleasure costs about 57 thousand rubles.

Inflatable catamarans for fishing

Inflatable catamarans are produced mainly for tourism purposes, although they can actually be used for fishing. In most designs, a tension deck is provided, but there are models where there is no deck at all. The main material of manufacture is polyvinyl chloride, as a material characterized by great strength, reliability and rigidity. This material is used for the manufacture of high-pressure cylinders, which are used on such boats. In this regard, the design is quite strong, but also light, which is important. This also simplifies the care of the catamaran, and also allows you to transport it without any problems.

In addition, the catamaran behaves quite steadily on the water, even in conditions of serious unrest. Therefore, this watercraft is not afraid of any river expanses. As for the installation of the motor, it is necessary if long trips with friends or family are planned. Some designs are designed to move up to 10 people.

How to build a catamaran with a motor with your own hands?

Building a catamaran is difficult and time consuming, although this factor has never stopped real anglers who prefer to make most of their fishing accessories with their own hands.

At the initial stage, a sketch of the future watercraft should be drawn, after which it is advisable to make drawings indicating all dimensions. First of all, proceed to the manufacture of the frame. The main material is duralumin, as the lightest and most durable material. If the frame is made, then you should switch to the manufacture of air cylinders. Usually their length is 3,5-3,8 meters.

The material for the cylinders is a polyvinyl chloride fabric with sufficient density. The higher the density, the more reliable the design will be. Behind the cylinders, it is necessary to provide for the presence of a baller, with the obligatory use of tensions. During the manufacturing process, one should not forget to install a valve for inflating cylinders. As a rule, there is one valve on each cylinder. At the end of the work, stringers are installed, as well as boards for sitting.

Fishing facilities, whether boats or catamarans, are especially popular. This is due to the fact that the presence of a boat takes the process of fishing to a completely different level. After all, not everywhere you can fish from the shore, due to the fact that the shores are overgrown with various vegetation. With the help of a boat, it is really possible to catch any, even hard-to-reach places. Some anglers, if funds permit, simply buy boats and catamarans from stores. Unfortunately, not all factory copies meet all the requirements. Sometimes you have to bring them, as they say, “to the mind.” Do-it-yourself production has its advantages. The main one is the ability to do what is necessary, based on the operating conditions.
