2027 MA420 Armor TPU
INNOVOCEAN MA420 Armor TPU™ (2027)
Engineered for Ontario Waters & Beyond
Heavy-Duty Adventure, Fishing & Expedition Inflatable Boat
The 2027 INNOVOCEAN MA420 Armor TPU™ is designed around the way Canadian boaters actually use an inflatable boat — carrying people and equipment, launching from imperfect shorelines, fishing open water, exploring cottage country, and travelling farther with practical outboard power.
Rather than simply adding more accessories, the MA420 focuses on usable space, protection, stability, and practical performance.
Tube = Gear. Transom = Strength. Floor = People.
Ontario-Optimized 15" Short-Shaft Design
Practical Power Without Unnecessary Complexity.
The MA420 is purpose-designed for widely available 15" short-shaft propeller outboards, with 20–30 HP ideal for many recreational applications and up to 40 HP maximum power.
For Ontario lake and cottage boating, conventional propeller outboards offer an excellent combination of:
Wide motor availability
Lower purchase cost compared with many jet configurations
Strong cruising efficiency
Good fuel economy
Longer practical cruising range
Easier servicing and replacement
Compatibility with popular Tohatsu, Mercury, Yamaha and other outboards
Rather than designing the MA420 around a specialized jet application, we optimized it for the type of outboard most recreational customers actually use.
Anti-Surge Raised-Side Transom™
15" Short-Shaft Convenience with Smarter Stern Protection.
A conventional 15" transom creates a relatively low opening at the stern.
The MA420 takes a different approach.
The central motor mounting area retains the correct height for a 15" short-shaft outboard, while raised reinforced aluminum sections on both sides of the motor help reduce water entering from the stern during deceleration, following waves, and choppy conditions.
The reinforced aluminum structure provides:
Heavy-duty motor support
Raised side protection
Increased transom rigidity
Improved stern protection
Integrated hardware mounting areas
It delivers the practical advantages of a short-shaft outboard without simply making the entire stern low.
Clear-Deck Tube-Top Cargo System™
Move the Gear Out. Open the Boat Up.
A large boat isn't truly spacious if the floor is covered with equipment.
The MA420 uses reinforced tube-top cargo and attachment areas to help move bulky equipment away from the centre deck.
Secure and organize items such as:
Dry bags
Camping equipment
Fishing gear
Oars and long equipment
Docking lines
Frequently used outdoor equipment
Moving equipment away from the centre helps create:
More usable interior floor space
Better passenger movement
Less clutter underfoot
More room for casting and fishing
Easier boarding and unloading
A cleaner, more organized cockpit
More gear around the tubes. More room for people inside.
1.6 mm Armor TPU™ Full Bottom Protection
Built for Shorelines, Ramps and Real-World Launching.
The underside of an inflatable boat takes some of the hardest wear.
That's why the MA420 uses 1.6 mm Armor TPU™ protection across the high-wear bottom surfaces, rather than relying only on a narrow centre keel guard.
Armor TPU™ protects:
Hull bottom
Keel area
Bottom of both inflatable tubes
The TPU reinforcement provides additional protection against abrasion and everyday contact with:
Rocky shorelines
Gravel
Concrete launch ramps
Sand
Driftwood
Shallow landing areas
For cottage country, camping trips and remote shoreline access, Armor TPU™ provides an additional protective layer between the primary boat fabric and the surfaces below.
Fiberglass Bow Deck + Full EVA Comfort Floor
A Better Place to Stand, Fish and Spend the Day.
The forward section of the MA420 uses a rigid fiberglass bow deck designed for one of the highest-contact areas of the boat.
It provides a solid platform for boarding, loading equipment and working around the bow.
The heavy-duty aluminum floor is finished with marine EVA decking to provide:
Comfortable standing surface
Wet-condition traction
Reduced foot fatigue
Quieter movement while fishing
Easier cleaning
Premium finished appearance
Combined with the Clear-Deck Tube-Top Cargo System™, the result is a large, open working area designed for people rather than clutter.
Built for Ontario Adventures
The MA420 is particularly well suited for:
Ontario & Great Lakes Anglers
For boaters who value interior mobility, efficient outboard power, stability and the ability to carry substantial fishing equipment.
Cottage & Wilderness Adventures
Ideal for Muskoka, the Kawarthas, Georgian Bay, remote lakes and camping destinations where shoreline conditions aren't always perfect.
Camping & Expedition Use
The 1360 kg maximum load capacity and Clear-Deck cargo philosophy provide substantial capability for passengers, fuel and outdoor equipment.
Family & Multi-Purpose Boating
Large 51 cm tubes, generous interior space and an open floor layout create a stable and versatile platform for family days on the water.
Designed Around Real Boating
The MA420 isn't designed to win a specification contest by adding features customers may never use.
It is designed around four things that matter every time you launch:
More usable space.
Practical outboard power.
Better protection.
Confidence under load.
That's the philosophy behind the 2027 INNOVOCEAN MA420 Armor TPU™.
Built Around Real Adventure.
