Lidl Dingie/tender

[benlui]

My dinghy that I bought from Lidl some months back has been a joy to use as a tender. The wood floor, and the inflatable bottom work a treat and with my 4hp on the back with just myself, it zipped along on the plane. However, it was stolen from me last night. Does anybody know what inflatable would be similar to this dinghy as now i must buy a new one and I'm afraid i wont get one that was as good without spending lots of money!!!!!!

What i really meant to ask, does anyone know where i could get maybe 2.6-2.8m dinghy with wood floor and inflatable bottom?

Do you mean inflatable keel? ie an inflatanle bit under the floor but a canvas floor in which case any sports boat or do you mean the two panel 'V' shaped inflatable floor that works like a rib, never seen one with an internal floor as well.

I bought an inflatable dinghy for a customer in East Anglia last year from the company listed below. It was capable of having an outboard fitted on the stern and cost about £100. Give them a ring for further details.

My Wetline 2.7 has an infatable keel,( a sausage shaped tube inside the floor which is inflated after the inflatable floor is fitted and inflated.) inflatable floor (air deck) keeps the sausage tube from lifting up, hence pushing the outer floor down efectively forming a keel or deep V sahped hull towards the front.
Have a look at the Waveline or Seago range or check out the for sale pages on this site.

get some round wayer pipe insulation- largest you can scrounge and put under the floor of an ordinary inflatable floor dinghy- woirks on our old Redcrest- gives you a bit of a keel

any one ever tried an airbed with floor over
