Virtue US 10FT Inflatable Dinghy – 5-Person Sport Tender with Aluminum Floor
Overview
Get ready for fishing trips, snorkeling excursions, and days on the water with the Virtue US 10FT Inflatable Dinghy Sport Tender. Designed for portability and practical utility, this inflatable boat combines a reinforced PVC hull with a sectional aluminum floor to provide a more rigid standing platform than a soft-bottom inflatable design.
A marine plywood transom accommodates a compatible outboard motor, subject to the manufacturer's specifications, while the deep V-keel design is intended to support directional tracking and handling. With an advertised capacity of up to five people and a maximum load of 1,122 lbs, the Virtue US 10FT offers a versatile option for recreational boating, tender duties, and exploring suitable coastal or inland waters.

Setup, Transport & Maintenance
Assemble the aluminum floor and inflate the boat according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before launching, inspect the hull, seams, valves, transom, floor sections, and motor-mounting hardware. Verify the permitted engine horsepower, engine weight, shaft length, and required operating pressure before fitting a motor.
The 1,122 lb load limit includes all occupants, equipment, and carried supplies. Do not exceed the manufacturer's passenger capacity or boat rating. Carry appropriately sized personal flotation devices for every occupant and comply with local boating regulations. Check weather, wind, currents, tides, and sea conditions before departure. An inflatable dinghy should not be assumed safe in rough ocean conditions simply because it has a deep V-keel or reinforced hull.
After saltwater use, rinse the boat and metal components with fresh water. Allow all components to dry before packing them away, and store the boat in accordance with the manufacturer's guidance.
