Killer Whale 10.8' Inflatable Dinghy

The Killer Whale is a 10 ft 10 in PVC dinghy rated for five people and a 15 hp motor. It uses 1100D heat-welded PVC and carries a 1268 lb max load. At 80 lb, it is much lighter than the other 10.8 ft dinghies in this group. It suits buyers who want a motor-ready boat they can still carry and load alone.

Best for: Someone who wants a 5-person, 15 hp dinghy that is easier to haul and store than the heavier 10.8 ft options.

Pros

  • 80 lb weight, against 126 lb for the Beyond Marina and 121 lb for the Bris 10.8 ft
  • 1100D heat-welded PVC, the same denier as the other 10.8 ft dinghies here
  • Rated for 5 people and a 15 hp motor
  • 1268 lb max load is close to the Beyond Marina's 1300 lb at far less weight
  • 3-year no-seam-blow-out limited warranty, versus 1 year on the Beyond Marina
  • At 64 in wide, it is wider than the Beyond Marina, Bris 10.8 ft and HEYBOARD

Cons

  • Floor type is not listed, so check before you buy
  • Max motor is 15 hp, while the Bris 12 ft is rated for 20 hp
  • Max load is slightly under the Beyond Marina's 1300 lb
  • No owner feedback is available to confirm how it holds up
  • Sold only through Amazon here

Who should skip it

Skip it if you want a rigid floor or a bigger load rating. The listing gives no floor type, and the Bris 12 ft is rated for 20 hp and 1322 lb. Also skip it if you want owner feedback to lean on, since none is available yet.

Verdict

On paper this is a light, wide 10.8 ft dinghy with a longer warranty than the Beyond Marina and the same 5-person and 15 hp ratings. The missing floor details and lack of owner feedback are the gaps to close before buying.
