Shallow Draft
Takacat with its shallow draft also lets you access hard to reach areas. Being able to be rowed or powered by an outboard you have options with regards to propulsion. The weight of the boat means that less output is required to power the boat and for areas where electric motor use is required these inflatable catamarans are perfect. The boat has a very shallow draft which means it wont sit too low in the water allowing the boat to skim over the water without dragging on the ground – enabling you to reach remote areas not accessible by other craft.
