The Blackwater XLT 330 Inflatable is a solid option for anyone looking for a reliable and durable inflatable. At 10’ 11” feet long, it is the smallest model in the new Limited Aluminum series that tops out with the LTD 580 with a LOA of 5.8 m / 19 ft.
All of the models in this new Limited line come standard with a 5083H116 marine grade aluminum hull in black or white powder coat. Built with Heytex PVC or ORCA Hypalon tubes, this boat can handle tough conditions. It’s UV, puncture, and abrasion-resistant, making it great for both saltwater and freshwater trips. The three-chamber design adds a safety factor, so even if one chamber gets damaged, the boat will stay afloat.
For power, Tohatsu is the brand of choice for all Blackwater models, and maximum power for the XLT 330 is 40 HP. The boat’s lightweight enough for two people to transport and launch easily, but still has enough space to haul a decent load.
It’s not going to win any races, but the Blackwater XLT 330 gets the job done for casual boating, fishing trips, or any light water activities. If you’re after something reliable that doesn’t require a ton of maintenance or effort, it’s definitely worth considering.
