Advantages :

Here are some advantages of the Sea-Bow® over competitors :

Airframe is made of aviation 6061-T6 aluminum and 4130 steel. It's all bolted with AN aviation bolts, eliminating all stress which otherwise are common to a welded frame.
Gaz tank and oil injection reservoirs are moulded with clear cross link material in order to see the fluid level at all times.
Seat base is fiberglass moulded. A removable foam and nylon seat cover is installed for confort.
Spiro wheels are made of polyurethane. They are mounted to the airframe on bearings and seals for reduce friction and long lasting.
Propeler is a carbon fiber warp drive.
Some other parts are made of polymer, PVC, lexan and polyurethane.
Canopy fairing can be removed in a few minutes for inspection and maintenance.
Since everything is bolted, part-inspection or replacement of parts are made easy.
Because of the materials used, no corrosion will occur, providing your Sea-Bow with a longer life.
