Bombard Commando
Bombard Aerotec
Zodiac Classic
Zodiac Futura

These models have thermobonded baffles and air holding seams. The transom and floor are glued.

Zodiac is the ONLY manufacturer who has boats on the market with welded floors and welded transoms... only the Cadet Solid, Light Roller, and Fastroller though.
