In 1839 the first inflatable boat pontoons were tested by the Duke of Wellington. In 1840, the Englishman Thomas Hancock designed inflatable craft and described this work in "The Origin and Progress of India Rubber Manufacture in England" published a few years later. In 1844, a Lieutenant Halkett designed a round-shaped inflatable bloat which was used in several Arctic expeditions.

Safety considerations in buying a jet ski are of the first import. For example, most modern jet skis have a lanyard. The lanyard turns the jet ski off automatically if you fall off or overturn the jet ski. A very old jet ski may not have a lanyard, so be certain to ascertain that a used jet ski has one prior to purchasing.

Your boat�s seaworthiness can depend on the load you put in it and where you put it. Too much weight can overload your boat and cause it to become unstable or allow small waves to come aboard. It will also reduce the amount your boat can roll before its sides dip under. Weight that is carried too high will reduce stability, making your boat more apt to roll and less inclined to return to an upright position
