Folding boat

A Folding boat is frequently a smaller boat, typically ranging between 8 to 12 feet. This style of boat must also allow for easy lifting which require a glow weight. Folding boats are made from light weight resources such as marine plywood, aluminum or more exotic man-made materials lighter and tougher than aluminum. Folding boats fill a need for people who do not have storage gap for a full-size boat or cannot transport a full-size boat.
There are more than a few folding boat makers and folding kayak makers in the world from the USA, England and Australia with several variations and models. The handyman can also produce their own unit at home with plans or buy designing their own version.
Although there is much to be thought by the advantages of a folding boat, they are not common place in boating and aluminum and inflatable alternatives are far more common despite some folding boats having been sold for several decades.
