Looking on Ebay I can see lots of new(ish) boats for not too much money. There are Plastimo, Wetline, Waveline, Tidal Wave and so on. The thing is that they aren't Hypalon. Does anyone know how long they last? Are they easy to repair? Or would I be best to keep my near perfect 30 year old Redcrest?
Thanks.
