Boat in a bag

Look how easy it packs into the back of a Mazda CX-5.

Drop the two split rear seats and the whole rig slides straight in — boat, high-pressure Air Deck floor, both aluminium bench seats, the oars, the under-seat bag, the Bimini (pulled apart and packed flat), the 22 PSI lithium pump, a small scud-type anchor and accessories, plus the outboard, fuel tank and life jackets. No trailer, no boat ramp queue. Pull up, carry it down, and you're on the water.

The bag pictured has an actual AeroCat 360 packed inside it, with the high-pressure Air Deck floor added. Our boat bags take everything up to a Viper 430.

  • · Hull, Air Deck floor, 2× aluminium seats and oars all in the one bag
  • · Under-seat bag, dismantled Bimini, 22 PSI lithium pump and scud anchor alongside
  • · Fits a mid-size SUV boot with the rear seats folded
  • · Garage-friendly storage — no trailer parking

The complete delivered price

Compare the landed price, not just the hull price.

Every price on this page includes air freight to your door Australia-wide. With 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus fabric, the Viper is built as a complete long-term ownership proposition—not a low headline price followed by freight and upgrade costs.

The value question, answered

Why the Viper costs a little more — and pays you back for over a decade

No one else in this class is building on this fabric. Every Viper hull is 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus — a third more material in every tube than the 1100 GSM / 0.9 mm fabric this size of boat is usually built from.

That's why we can do what the others can't: a 7-year hull warranty. And it's why your Viper is designed to last 10–12 years of real weekends, not two or three summers.

A cheaper 0.9 mm boat might cost less today. Realistically, in Australian sun, it's a 3–5 year boat — so you'd buy it twice in the time you own one of ours. You're not paying more for the same thing. You're paying for one build instead of two.

One boat. One build. It just works.

  • 08
    2× padded under-seat storage bags

    Two bags are included only with orders placed from 15 August 2026 onwards. Orders placed before 15 August 2026 include 1× under-seat storage bag. One bag carries Easy Inflatables branding; the other is identical in size, material and quality — just unbranded.

  • 09
    2× heavy-duty rod holders + 2× deck-mounted rod-holder bases

  • 14
    8–10 PSI high-pressure hard AirDeck floor

    Use the lithium pump only for the first minute, until the floor reaches approximately 2–2.5 PSI. Then switch to the supplied manual pump to reach the recommended 8–10 PSI. Do not use the lithium pump for final AirDeck pressure; it will not bring the floor to 8–10 PSI. The lithium pump is suitable for the boat tubes, where the over-inflation valves control excess pressure.

  • 15
    CE compliance plate and HIN fitted to the aluminium transom

    Supplied with the manufacturer’s Statement of Conformity. Registration requirements vary by state — check with your state authority.

  • 16
    1 × large Aerowave carry bag — included

    One primary carry bag sized to hold the hull, removable air deck, seats, pumps, repair kit and supplied accessories. Fits Aerowave boats up to and including the Viper 430.

Manufacturing quality control & compliance

Factory-to-door quality control and compliance checks

Before your boat leaves the factory, we run an eight-point quality control and compliance check against your exact order — fabric, seams, transom, inflation, fittings and pack list — so what arrives at your address is what you paid for.

1

Build sheet lock

Factory confirms hull colour, length, transom spec, floor type and fittings against your order before fabric is cut.

2

Fabric spec verification

We cross-check the VALMEX® GSM and thickness rating against the signed-off sample so the hull matches what was promised.

3

Seam and weld inspection

Every main seam, transom joint and chamber bond is pressure-tested and visually inspected before full inflation.

4

Transom and fitting stress check

Transom height, backing plate and motor-mount geometry are verified against the rated HP max for your model.

5

Chamber inflation test

Each air chamber is inflated to operating PSI and held to confirm no creep, leaks or valve faults before the boat is signed off.

6

Pre-shipment photo pack

We receive factory photos of your actual boat before it leaves, so any issue is caught before freight, not after.

7

Final pack-list audit

Seats, bags, Bimini, pump and accessories are checked off against your configured package list before the carton seals.

8

Door-step arrival check

You inspect on delivery. If anything does not match the compliance pack, we sort it — no arguments, no run-around.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why 20 HP on the Viper 400 Open Bow?

20 HP is the sweet spot — it planes 4–6 adults, sips fuel and stays inside the standard recreational licence bracket in most states. The hull is rated to 40 HP if you want more later.

Is this a carburettor or fuel-injected motor?

Straight carburettor 4-stroke — no electronics on the fuel system. Simple, reliable and serviceable anywhere in Australia. Manual pull-start (recoil).

Is the outboard short shaft or long shaft?

Short shaft (15 inch), matched to the Viper 400 Open Bow 380 mm transom. If you need long shaft, tell us in the notes at checkout.

What is the difference between the Open Bow and the Sovereign?

The Open Bow has an open forward deck — more usable space for fishing, dive gear and camping loads. The Sovereign has an enclosed bow and a heavier hull. Both are 4 m, both 1.2 mm VALMEX.

How is it shipped?

The boat and the outboard ship separately. Boat: delivery included in the price — express courier (DHL Express, FedEx or UPS), 7–10 days door-to-door after manufacture, freight, GST, duty and clearance covered. Hidea outboard: A$350 to capital cities, A$450 to regional Australia, price on application for remote NT, SA, WA and TAS.

Is oil included with the outboard?

No — Hidea 4-stroke fully synthetic oil (1 L) is A$60 as an add-on and is required for the first fill on a brand-new motor. Most owners add it at checkout.

What warranty applies?

5–7 years on the hull (VALMEX fabric and welded seams) and 5 years on the Hidea outboard. Full terms at /warranty.

Can I finance the package?

Yes — AMMF finance from around A$85/week on this package. Apply at /finance/apply or pick "Finance with AMMF" at checkout.

How do I inflate the hard AirDeck floor to 8–10 PSI?

Use the lithium pump only for the first minute, until the floor reaches approximately 2–2.5 PSI. Then change to the supplied manual pump to reach the recommended 8–10 PSI. Do not use the lithium pump to try to reach final AirDeck pressure; it will not work. The lithium pump is suitable for the boat tubes, and their over-inflation valves control excess pressure.
