Advertised in local shop window, for £250 o.n.o.

Looks good in photo, what's it worth?

Well there is one on ebay with a starting price of £200
No bid so far but 3 days to go.
Fairly old because it has pointed bow
Plywood floor

There is another new one not in an auction, with a buy now price of £1395. Roll up floor

With an outboard and all the other bits
What are you waiting for get round there and look at it. Take the money with you!

Its a good deal, if its a modern 4 stroke Yam its a steal. If, as I suspect, its the late 70's 2 stroke air cooled engine then its just good value (I love Yams, bit this engine has got to be one of the worst they every made,)
 
If genuine and both are in decent condition an absolute bargain. I paid £260 (ebay) for a very good condition Redcrest & think that was good value as still less than a new cheapo...
 
This is good value if it is in fair condition with valves holding pressure and engine is a healthy runner and the engine bracket is o.k.
Is the inflatable seat also there?
I have one and they are easily stowed as the bracket comes off so there are no 'hard bits' to fold up.
They don't suffer badly from ultra violet as some cheap inflatables do and the rowlocks are of the circular round hard rubber type and I find they're extremely easy to row with and nothing to go wrong.
