Help me choose my inflatable boat!

[Tideline]

I have decided that the air floor seems to be the way to go with my inflatable boat - so wanting to decide on buying I have a question. Which manufacturer might offer the better boat, SEAPRO, as at www.seaproboat.co.uk - the 340 air floor model, or the Honwave 380 with air floor?

 

[Haven't-a-Clue]

Well, FWIW, I had the Honwave 320 IE and I rated it very highly in terms of stability, useability etc but it was a heavy lump to lug about. Well made and nice to use (once you'd inflated it!).

My vote is for the Honda, but they are heavy to move around. Honda has lots of cleaver ideas, inbuilt trim tabs make planeing easier and the fixed inflatable 'V' floor gives more internal volume and is very rigid (it also helps keep your feet dry).

With a decent sized engine its a great and quick little run around.

My vote for the Honda - I was on the verge of buying the 2.4 Airdeck when I decided that my existing dinghy would suffice for the time being.

I have a 2.4 Honwave, its not the lightest but it is a quality product for the price.

Have you considered the Lodestar range? Similar quality to Honda, but the inflatable floor is flat so water does not pool but drains underneath, also your feet don't tend to slip into the centre.

After lot's of research we've just bought a Zodiac Zoom (hope it's good!)
