Shanghai Jilong Economy Development Co.; cover, cost and conditions

The name Shanghai Jilong Economy Development stands for Jilong, a manufacturer based in Shanghai. Jilong makes inflatable leisure goods from PVC for the water and for home and garden: pools, air beds, floats, stand-up paddleboards and inflatable boats. The company is strongly export minded and produces at sites in Shanghai and in Anhui province. By its own account it makes the PVC film itself and processes it in house, with screen printing, high frequency welding and sewing. The boats and the paddleboards share the Z-Ray name. You know them by their welded PVC air chambers, their low weight and a packed size that fits into a car boot.

Our model records list six designs, all inflatables. Five carry the Z-Ray name, joined by the Navigator III 400. The numbers in the names are not lengths: the smallest boat, the Z-Ray I 200, measures 2.35 metres, the Z-ray 300 and the Navigator III 400 come to 2.48 metres, and the Z-Ray 400 to 3.2 metres. The largest are the Z-Ray II 500 and the Z-Ray III 500 at 3.6 metres each. The Z-ray 300 has the longest run, from 2005 to 2022. The Z-Ray 400 and Z-Ray II 500 run from 2006 to 2013, the Z-Ray III 500 from 2008 to 2015, the Z-Ray I 200 from 2009 to 2015 and the Navigator III 400 from 2012 to 2018. None reaches recent build years.

PVC inflatables of this kind live a simple life, but they last far longer with a little care. Rinse off salt and sand after use, let the boat dry fully before rolling it up, and store it out of direct sun, because UV light and heat are what age PVC seams fastest. Check the valves and the welded seams every season, and keep the pressure at the stated level rather than pumping by feel. A small outboard needs a sound transom board, so look at its fixings on a used boat. These are boats for lakes, beaches and calm bays close to shore, not for open water in a breeze.
