Product Details

Combining the features of a raft and the capabilities of a sport boat, the Star Sport Bug 14 self-bails and its raised-floor design makes it respond quickly like a cataraft. Compact storage and quick inflation make the Sport Bug 14 a dependable lifeboat, dinghy or tender for larger crafts.

The overlap seam construction with 400 denier seam tape includes heat-welded inner seams and hand glued outer seams to ensure better air retention, optimal strength and unmatched durability.
Tubes constructed with 2000 denier PVC combines with a 4000 denier floor for maximum durability.
Floor is raised to the centerline of the oversized tubes to reduce drag and enhance performance.
By removing the thwarts and using the attached d-rings to rig a frame you can transform the Sport Bug 14 from a paddle boat into an oar rig.
The transom is compatible with the use of a long-shaft outboard motor up to 25 horsepower.
Attached oar locks support small-shaft oars that can be used as backup propulsion if the motor gives out or you run out of gas.
Features five double reinforced nylon handles and 17 reinforced 2" stainless steel d-rings.
Top-quality Leafield C7 valves ensure trouble free inflation and deflation.
Self-Bailing floor.
5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
