Metzeler Inflatable

[nyx2k]

Ive seen a few used Metzeler inflatable boats on eBay at good prices. They have an inflatable floor but not high pressure. they look ok as i want one for use to and from my swinging mooring on Thorpe Bay seafront. Any body had one before.

Yes, good inflatable, only issue I had was that a local swan took a dislike to the Orange colour and persisted on chasing the dinghy with me and swmbo in it!

And dont smoke in them and drop it.....

I have seen what happens

the one i was looking at is 3.5mtr with inflatable floor and there is an extra board you add the the pvc transom to take an outboard.
it will only be used within 1/2 mile of seafront.

Mine got trapped under my hull when the tide came in. As I was asleep I didn't notice. By the time I spotted it & released it the wooden transom had been split & torn off the sponsons. Cost of repair exceeded replacement cost. Any one want a project dinghy?

It was good though, wooden floor, big sponsons & a bow spray deflector made it the dryest rubber duck I've ever had. It's inflatable keel made it almost as stable as a rib too!

the 2 on ebay look good value. both have inflatable floors but are not high pressure so aren't for standing up on.
i presume they'll be made like the cheaper seago, wetline etc with 3layer pvc. the transom arrangement is a bit odd with a removable board but i suppose it does the job.

I have a Metzeler for sale. Bright Orange. I think it's a Bronco. Inflatable hull. Hard transom takes 10HP. Oars, pump. I used it about 10 times - mostly floating down rivers. Obviously it's as new. I'm in Vancouver BC and asking $1200.00. I can be reached at gmilne@shaw.ca
