T&T: Saturn inflatables

[Bob McLeran]

Our old Zodiac dinghy suffered a casualty yesterday when the plywood 
transom separated from the hull on the port side due to rot! Time to 
decide whether it is worth repairing, or just spring for a new dinghy. 
There are several places in Annapolis that advertise their inflatable 
repair services, and I'll call them on Monday to get estimates. In the 
meantime, I'm looking at prices for new ones in the 11 foot range. My 
research six months or so ago lead me to favor the AB inflatables for 
price and value, but today I found the Saturn line of inflatables (the 
prices are the lowest I've seen for new inflatables) and am curious 
about how well they'd hold up compared to the ABs, Zodiacs, Avons, etc.

Here's a link to the site for the SD330:

Has anyone had any experience with these dinghys and what are your thoughts?
