Don't get slats! An inflatable floor is infinitely preferable, for comfort and practicality.

I bought a slatted inflatable because it was a few quid cheaper than the inflatable-floored alternative, and have regretted it ever since. I can't justify replacing the dinghy because it's proving remarkably durable for a "budget" (Bombard AX3) model /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tom,I may know of a small rib, brand new and in his shed since purchase as his SWMBO did not like it, now got a Honwave!
Seeing him tonight will get full details and a price for you if you like?
PM your contact details if you want me to enquire?

watch out with a dog in small RIB. Its paws will struggle for grip getting in and out, particularly if it has to jump from teh bathing platform...

That's the dinghy I'd been eyeing up for a while - is it from a local supplier in Kent? (I'd be wanting to p/x a Bombard AX2 - slatted.)

Apologies for thread drift.
