Well guys, thanks for your replies. And Larry,thanks a lot for an
extensive answer that was fun to read too... :-
I've been looking at prices here in the Netherlands and I was a bit
disappointed to see a 14' was about 2500 and a 12' was about 2100
euro's. This doesn't comply with the info from SSCA and the likes
about weak seats and popping out rivets. Don't get me wrong, I am
prepared to fix these kinds of minor irritations but only if the price
is reasonable.

I wrote portaboat in Usa to see if they would sell and ship it to me
directly. Anyone here that knows the UK-distributor?

Fair winds, Len.
