I have a Bombard, great for the outboard with the hard transom and slatted deck, as well as a couple of Redcrests. The Avons are much better for rowing, I don't like the stupid sliding pivot things on the Bombard. However the outboard brackets on the Avons are not brilliant, I feel much better with the hard transom on the Bombard, much better than a floppy round tail.
I always wondered how the harbour master in Tarbet used to be able to drive his inflateable sideways, every now and again I find the Bombard doing the same trick, I go for a turn by twisting the outboard sideways, the boat goes sideways instead of turning, I wish I could do it on demand, it must have something to do with weight distribution, anyone else come across this?
