Try these people.

I spoke to a mate at the weekend who got a great little tender from them recently for good money.

Arun Nautique, Yacht Chandlers, Littlehampton, 01903 730558

I know they will dispatch it too.

Brand new Seago 2.6m - NOT an auction - £299 - loads of similar things on ebay - just do a search for inflatable and sort by price.

About to buy one myself!!!

Often helps to look at the people's online ebay store as well - loads of bargains!!!

The cheap ones are usually the heaviest. And I mean heavy! Check out the spec before ordering.

If you decide that a light one would be preferable, look at Lodestar.

I would have thought heavier means more robust and better quality??? Thicker materials and better fabrics etc???

It is AMAZINg the way prices are being driven down - mate just bought a brand new genny 6.5kva off ebay for £395 inc vat!!! It runs really well and is really quiet.

the same people have a 3" petrol water pump like the firebrigade etc use for £145!!!!

Bloody incredible - obviously not going to be as well made as better brands but at those prices you can afford to take a chance!!!

Not these days - all depends on how much you use something - alright that cheap genny may not last as long as one costing £1400 BUT I bet 4 of them would!!!

Not entirely true because the hypalon Avon Rover Air decks are bloody heavy and bloody expensive!
Remember, when looking for a tender the bigger the better, by the time you have a couple of bags and a few people space becomes limited. I can recommend an air deck type one with the inflatable V because they are so much more stable.

Regards

Alex
