Unmatched 7-year hull warranty
The toughest inflatable boat guarantee in Australia. Five years standard, plus extended Years 6–7 hull cover — only on the Viper Series, only on the 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus hull.
Why 1.2 mm VALMEX® matters
Every inflatable looks the same in a photo. The difference is the hull wall — and you only feel it the day something goes wrong.
1.2 mm against 0.9 mm is a third more fabric in every tube wall — the part that meets oyster racks, boat ramps, gravel and roof-rack straps.
Australian UV attacks the coating first. A thicker coating layer means the reinforcing scrim stays protected for years longer.
Thermo-welded seams fuse through the coating. More coating means a deeper, stronger weld and far more resistance to peel.
The Viper hull carries 5 years standard plus extended Years 6–7 cover. We only offer that on the 1.2 mm hull.
Service life figures are based on Australian UV exposure with normal seasonal use and correct storage. Both fabrics are premium German VALMEX®-grade material — the Viper simply runs the heavier 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm spec.
Typical imports publish 12 months, if anything at all.
More prop in the water — less ventilation and cavitation in chop.
Freight included. No dealer margin, no hidden import fees.

The price you see is the landed price to your door.
Freight, GST, import duty and customs clearance are all included and already paid before your boat ships. Nothing to pay the courier, no customs invoice weeks later, no surprises.
Buying overseas costs you nothing in extra delivery days.
Your boat leaves our overseas manufacturer on DHL Express and is at your door in 7–10 days — the same window a local seller takes to truck a boat interstate. Same wait, insured and tracked the whole way, and the import side is already handled.
- Duty & GST paid before dispatch
- Customs clearance handled by us

- Live tracking + signature on delivery
Competitors typically add A$600+ for freight and GST on top of their advertised price. Ours is already in. The only possible extra is a flat A$600 truck-leg contribution for true remote postcodes (NT, Far-North QLD, remote WA, regional TAS, outback SA).
