This looks awesome! How did you inflate it, the tubes look wrinkled a bit around the rubbing strake?

It was the old scooter battery, worked perfect last year! I think it's 7 years old (production date is stamped on them), so that's the time when lead acid batteries die anyway.

Lead acid 12V/20Ah battery that I was using for my Bravo pump has died (lost pretty much all capacity, would go down to 9V half-way through inflating my Aerotec). I had a choice of either ordering...

Thanks, I think I guessed this right then! To be honest if the engine is in a very good state, then it should be OK. What puts me off is the black hood.

9.9hp 4-stroke or 15hp 2-stroke for Aerotec?

I need to make my mind up if I want to buy a 15hp 2-stroke or a 9.9hp 4-stroke for my Aerotec. This is partly sparked by a number of 4-strokes and no 2-strokes available now.
