advice on inflatable
 
Hi, our family are already seasoned boaters, but not paddlers. I'm after
a 2 man inflatable kayak for me to take out my kids in one at a time
when we are out and about without our boat. It needs to be inflatable
coz it will have to go in the back of the car and because the garage is
already taken up by our ski boat.

So, I've see:
http://www.nauticalia.com/uk-info/de...yak/90320.html

and:
http://www.roho.co.uk/acatalog/Robin...ayaks_210.html
the K2 version

There is quite a difference in price. The cheaper Challenger looks like
you get more for your money as you get a tracking fin. I suspect the
Seyvlor may be better quality to justify the higher price but I don't know.

Anyway, this is only for casual use. But it is for use on rivers rather
than lakes. So something that handles the rougher stuff would be better.

Any advice???

tnx, Nick

Absolutely no knowledge, but people have always spoken well of Syvlor. Might
be worth having a look at the forum on www.songofthepaddle.couk

Anybody in the market for an inflatable needs to start here and read
what they have to say. May change your mind about things, may not, but
you'll know what you're doing better.

Agreed, they should win an award for the effort they've put into their
FAQ.

Hi

I just found this site tonight . It's not an inflatable but it looks as if
it packs away smaller. Probably the wrong price range but worth a look.

I have very cheap inflatable on my cloned E-Bay site.
www.paddlingandrowing.com
I even make remarks not to buy them in my articles!

Wrong price range!? I'll say. By a factor of 15.

BTW, that Challenger is a pool toy. I would never take children out in
"rougher stuff" in one of those.
