Is my inflatable a Avon Redcrest or Redstart?

[grahama]

OK I'm hopeing someone can tell me whether my Avon inflatable is a Redcrest or a Redstart.

Why do I care?............well I'm thinking of selling it and want to get the advert correct.

It is 8ft long x 4 ft wide. Tube diameters are 12 inches.

It has one inflatable seat; mounting for outboard bracket and oars.

It has a flexible floor only, I've seen some with wooden floor inserts maybe this is the clue?

Only 2 air chambers, hypalon fabric; age.........not sure maybe from mid 80's.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

I didn't think there was a difference tbh!

The Redcrest was 9ft long and the Redstart was 8ft.

There was also an Avon 7 produced as budget model which was 7'7".
It had a rigid single seat rather than an inflatable one.

And the Redseal was 10ft long.

The Redcrest was 9ft long and the Redstart was 8ft.

The tube diameters are different hence needing different brackets for outboard.

At one time there was an even bigger one. Redshank, just over 12 ft
