You will have the Avon 20 years from now. You won't remember the Plastimo.

I'm looking at purchasing an inflatable, either a new Plastimo PVC
with a 4-year warranty or an older Avon (10 years) hypalon in very

shape-stored for most of its life. The cost is about the same. How

long

will the older hypalon Avon last compared to the PVC Plastimo? Is it
worth purchasing the Avon or too much of a risk. If so, how much

longer

could I expect the Avon to last compared to the Plastimo.

PVC boats will last in the range of 10 years, then the material will
degrade. PVC is not useable in sunshine as the sun degrades the
material quickly.

Hypalon lasts a lot longer and is sun resistant
