Olympic 4.99 Star – Mercury 80hp Four Stroke
Its excellent ride and its apparent construction quality, combined with the smart design of the deck which offers the necessary storage space and the ability to safely and comfortably carry five seated passengers, make the Olympic 4.99 Star one of the most competitive inflatable boats in its category.
Aiming at a buying audience interested mainly in small and medium sized inflatable boats, Olympic renewed its range in this category by presenting this 5-meter rib two years ago, which is characterized by an excellent value-quality ratio accompanied by a perfectly ergonomic and functional layout, suitable for every use.
