advice on SIB

[roger352]

Hi All
My first post. Has anyone had experience of Velocity marine inflatables. They seem a good price, but you can not tell the quaility from a photo. Any help would be great.

Hi

I was wondering if £600 for a 3.3 metre inflatable NEW was to cheap to be any good?

Roger - I've merged both your posts / theads as essentially you are asking the same thing - you'll be more likely to get a helpful response if you share as much info as possible.

I am guessing you are referring to these:

A quick price comparison suggests you are in the same ball park as the cheaper Seapro range (not the HD range)

I've been searching lots for circa 3 - 3.5m SIBS and there is an endless choice out there. New, going up £100 gets you a better made/featured and much lighter airdeck Prowave or Excel, another £100 and you can get a new Honwave or similar.

Or go second hand for the best deal - loads out there for sale which will likely be much better quality than a £600 ply deck:
