Posted by Daniel S on Feb 24 2005
Never heard of that stuff before. I did a little digging and came up with this:
"Nitrylon™ is a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber and natural rubber over a 1,200-denier, low stretch polyester fabric. Nitrylon™ is very puncture and abrasion resistant. It is considerably stronger, easier to patch, performs better in cold weather, and is much more abrasion resistant than PVC. It also does not have the environmental problems associated with the manufacture and ultimate disposal of PVC products."

What it means, exactly, and if it's true, I'm not sure!! However, IBoats is a boat distibutor/ sales outlet in Europe, IIRC. The ONLY listings I can come up with for Nitrylon boats points to Innova Inflatables, also based in Europe. I'll guess(and thats all it is) that Innova is putting the Iboat name on their boat, kind of like West Marine/Zodiac.
