Dacon inflateable, anyone know anything about this boat

I already have a zodiac, but i wanted something for the weekends where we are not in the summerhouse. Anyways zodiac and alike are to expensive... so i was just looking for something cheap that could carry a 15 hp Johnson. I just got a home with a healthy looking boat, is says Dacon on it and its around 3 meters and thats about all i know about it. Dacon sounds like a cheap/bad make? but it ok for the price.

Do any of you know anything about this boat, it needs a big clean.. but what chemicals to use? anything really a estimate of its age also... homepages and alike.

Living in Denmark you should know the make as it is from a company in Denmark. It actually looks good quality to me from the images.

I cleaned some of it off with 99% alcohol, i think what came of was old sun damages wax.. it still has a ugly yellow color,,, i don't like to use too many chemicals on it, but i don't want it looking bad. there are oil stains, i guess i can remove these with gas?
