Normally inflatable canoes are pointed at both ends and mostly are open on top. Inflatable canoes may also be powered by humans manually with the help of paddles. Now a day inflatable canoes with gas or electric motors are in use. Inflatable canoes are similar in construction and materials to inflatable boats. Inflatable canoes are also used for fishing purposes and fishing inflatable canoes are made of polyvinyl chloride as well as rubber. Polyvinyl chloride is a hard plastic based material which is reliable, durable and water proof and canoes made from polyvinyl chloride material are more suitable for fishing instead of rubber inflatable canoes.
