I think i've seen this asked before...
inflatable - 10'-7" made by Novirana...in Florida.
It's kept inflated and runs with small outboard, goes on a bigger boat.

The material is HYPOLON.
I've got Ronan waterbased vinyl paint and some DEKA, has anybody used these? results?

Thanks, John

Magic One water based lettering enamel sold by Canadian Signcrafters is the best replacement for the old DEKA, flows better and covers better also (not the red), it would be a good bet as I used it on vynil seats and banners without problems.

I just painted white wall on my car tires with 4 different kind of paint and the most resistant was Magic One.

But on a boat I would probably go with vynil screen printing ink with lacquer thinner.

Just let us know!

John,
Chromatic has had a product called TiCote which is used as a barrier coat to stop plasticizer migration.
I found some here: http://www.productsignsupplies.com/pdf/Final%20Catalog%206-6-05.pdf

TI-COTE CLEAR PRIMER/BARRIER COAT (433)
TI-COTE CLEAR PRIMER BARRIER COAT is a high-performance, water-based, clear primer/barrier coating developed for
use on vinyl substrates, such as flexible faces, awnings, banners and self-adhesive vinyls, to allow the use of enamel
topcoats and lettering enamels.

I cut vinyl stencils for a local Zodaic dealer and he sprays them with automotive paint for restoring vinyl car tops. I don't know if it's available in non-spray cans though.

If you're not riding in it, try a Dibond panel with self tapping screws.

David, I talked him into runing thru my MultiBam! router... am now pricing New inflatables! [Bash]

thanks, everybody, for the tips. I wrote them down, in case i can pick up some of these products later. I lettered it with Ronan Auqacoat and DEKA..even mixed them for a colour!

John, you could also try MDO and a nail gun. Since MDO floats, you can charge more for the safety factor alone!
