Boat Yaz 320: Detailed review and operation

The modern market of inflatable watercraft offers a wide range of models, but boat Yaz 320 It has a strong reputation among domestic fishermen, due to its combination of affordable prices, time-tested design and high maintainability, and many owners say it has become a reliable companion in the waters of central Russia.

In this article we will analyze in detail the technical nuances, features of the assembly and real experience of operation. Iase 320 You'll learn why this boat is often the number one choice for those who value practicality and don't want to overpay for the brand, and also about safety and proper material care.

Structural features and materials of the body

The basis of the reliability of the vessel is a high-quality material. Iase 320 Traditionally made of reinforced PVC, the density of which varies depending on the modification, but usually is not less than 750 g / sq.m. Reinforced polyvinyl chloride It provides resistance to puncture, sand abrasion and ultraviolet rays, a critical parameter for low- and medium-size boats.

Underfloor design is often performed in the "inflatable floor" (ND) variant or using rigid plywood or aluminum liners. High-pressure inflatable floor (Hiflex) gives the body excellent hydrodynamics, making it easier to go into plane even with low-power motors. However, rigid elements provide greater stability when catching standing.

⚠️ Warning: When buying, be sure to check the integrity of the seams for the presence of factory defects, as poor-quality gluing can lead to depressurization on water.

We should pay special attention to the inflatable cylinder system. Iase 320 They're divided into independent compartments, which makes it safer to operate, and if one cylinder gets damaged, the rest will keep buoyant, allowing them to reach shore, and the tightness of the valves also plays a key role in the longevity of the product.

Features of seams

The Yaz 320 often uses adhesive gluing technology, which increases the strength of the joint, but requires accuracy when repairing in the field.

Technical specifications and dimensions

To understand whether this model is suitable for you, you need to consider dry numbers. Iase 320 belongs to the class of small vessels that do not require mandatory registration in the GIMS (with engine power up to 8 hp inclusive, according to the current rules).

Below is a table with the main technical data that will help you navigate the capabilities of the vessel:

Parameter	Meaning	Note
Full length	320 cm	Including inflatable parts
Full width	140-145 cm	Depends on the pressure in the cylinders
Load capacity	400-450 kg	Considering the weight of the crew and equipment
Boat weight	32-38 kg	Depending on the bottom configuration
Passenger capacity	2-3 people.	Comfortable for two with a motor

It is important to note that loading capacity indicated with a margin, but the actual operation at the limit of possibilities significantly reduces driving performance. Iase 320 It's most comfortable for two adults with a minimum set of gear, and a third person can only be accommodated in an emergency or with a very compact configuration.

Compatibility with outboard motors

The choice of the engine is one of the most important when buying a PVC boat. transom mounting model Iase 320 It is designed for the installation of motors with a capacity of up to 5-8 hp Installation of a more powerful engine is possible, but requires high qualification of the steering and ideal weight distribution, since the feed can begin to prowl.

The best choice for this length of the body will be lightweight two-stroke motors weighing up to 20 kg. They allow you to reach speeds of about 20-25 km / h, which is enough to move between fishing points. Electric motors also work well with this model, ensuring quiet movement.

• 🚤 For quiet fishing, engines with a capacity of 2-3.5 hp are ideal, which do not require registration.
• ⚡ Electric traction motors allow you to fish in areas prohibited for ICE and do not scare fish with noise.
• 🔧 When installing the motor, it is important to set the correct differentiatorSo the boat doesn't get burrowed.

⚠️ Warning: Never exceed the recommended motor power specified in the data sheet, as this can lead to transomation and rollover.

When operating with the motor, it should be taken into account that Iase 320 It has a soft keel. It's comfortable on the wave, but you can see yaw at high speed. strip on cylinders (if provided by modification) helps to stabilize the course.

Comfort and internal arrangements

The interior of the boat is organized according to the needs of the angler. air-seat (cans) allows you to change their position or even remove them to increase the usable area. In some configurations, there are rigid plywood seats that are attached to the lyctross.

There are pockets on the sides to store small items, gear and documents, which are made of the same material as the body and protect the contents from spray, but you shouldn't rely on them as sealants, because in heavy rain, you should use separate dry bags.

Convenience of landing and landing provide special carry-knobsThey're made of a strong material, and they're sewn with a reinforced seam, and when you're fully loaded, you can carry a boat, but you can do two people to make short distances.

Assembly and descent preparation process

Assembly Iase 320 It takes no special skills, but it takes a certain amount of time, especially in the cold, and in warm weather, the whole process from unpacking to launching takes 15-20 minutes, and it's important to follow the pumping sequence to avoid distortions in the structure.

All compartments are slightly inflated first, and then the final pumping to the working pressure is done. the working pressure shall be 0.2 atmPumped cylinders in the sun can burst, and under-pumped ones can deform under load.

Procedure:
1. Spread the boat and straighten the bottom.
2. inflate the keel (if any) to hardness.
3. Inflate cylinders to 50% volume.
4. Set up sleighs and seats.
5. To bring the pressure in the cylinders to normal.

Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the assembly site. Thorns, cigarette butts and sharp stones Even a small grain of sand under the bottom can damage the material when loaded. Always use a litter or collect a boat on grass/sand, after removing the garbage.

Care, storage and repair

The longevity of a boat depends on how you take care of it. Iase 320 You need to wash thoroughly with fresh water, especially if you've been swimming on a salty pond or standing in a mud. The sand left in the folds works like an abrasive.

Store the product should be in a dry, cool place, in a straightened or slightly crumpled form. Freezing a wet boat is strictly prohibited.Because ice crystals destroy the structure of PVC, you can't roll it in a tight roll in the cold, because it becomes brittle.

• 🧼 Use a soft sponge and regular soap to wash, avoiding aggressive chemicals.
• ☀️ Dry the boat in the shade, direct sunlight when drying can lead to uneven air expansion and deformation of the seams.
• 🔧 Small punctures are easily sealed with a remplekt, which is part of the standard delivery.

⚠️ Warning: Do not use acetone-based adhesives or solvents intended for rubber for repairing PVC boats - they will destroy the material.

In case of serious damage, for example, a cut more than 5 cm long, it is better to contact a specialized workshop. vulcanization or professional gluing will restore tightness and strength better than any home experiments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I register the boat Yaz 320 in GIMS?

Registration is required if the weight of the equipped boat (with an engine) exceeds 200 kg, or if the engine power exceeds 8 hp (or 10 hp depending on the year of release and interpretations, but now the reference point is 8 hp and 200 kg). The boat itself weighs about 35 kg, so with an engine up to 8 hp (about 20 kg) and fuel you most likely will not pass the threshold of 200 kg.

Which pump is best used for the 320 ulcer?

For pumping large volumes of air, foot or hand-held two-way pumps (such as Bravo or Intex) are ideal. Electric pumps from the battery are convenient for initial filling, but the final pressure will still have to be finished mechanically, since the electrician often does not give the desired pressure of 0.2 atm.

Will the boat stand the rocky bottom?

Materials PVC 750 g/sqm It is strong enough, but the sharp edges of the stones can damage it if hit hard or drag, it is recommended to use a protective lining on the keel or gently swim to the shore without dragging the boat on the stones.

How many people are comfortably accommodated in Yaz 320?

Comfortably, this boat accommodates two medium-sized men with a full set of fishing gear, three adult men will fit, but it will be cramped, and the buoyancy margin will be minimal, which is not safe on the wave.
