It camstraps to your boat with the provided camstrap. The strap is long enough you can strap it around the thort or frame. It's big enough around that you can put your beer in the betty with the provided coozy around the beer. The splash lid goes on top of the betty with the beer inside the betty. I know Down River sells them for $21.85.

I saw some guys on the salt one day lose maybe half a day stitching a blown zipper on a Aire. Theres something about zippers on boats I dont trust. Maybe cus the fly on my jeans wont stay up.

Maybe it's due to a swollen man-gina. Or cause you're fat.

Sorry for the confusion, Latouche- Since this post came back around, I took the opportunity to take a rip at LSB, aka the Ragin' Cajun....and he is definitely not 5'9" and 132.

why buy aire?

Aire boats in my opinion are not worth the money; even if they are cheaper. Too many moving parts causing too many problems down the road. The VG is a superior product and the PVC will last forever as log as you don't drag it across concrete everyday. The VG is a 30 year boat if taken care of and the Aire boat is a ten year boat... maybe. Drive each and the difference is huge. Aire has given the boat world an entry level boat that didn't exist twenty years ago... we then had to buy used and there was no choice for a new boat at that price.

You get what you pay for.

I dont own an aire, and as some have said, i have a few issues with bladders etc.......however.........a 10 year no questions asked warranty? thats pretty bad ass. so basically, i can thro it down like a moldy rag, play with it when i want.........( see naked boating) and don't have to worry for 10 years...........hmmm if i was in the market for a new boat, my shopping would be done
