Got my new 327$ dinghy !

Post by Québec 1 »

Won it on an ebay auction:
I kept bidding on it for months with a maximum bid of 330$ and was pretty surprised when I won.

Sure hope it is Hypalon or a close relative to it and not PVC. The PVC ones do not have a very long lifespan, mine is already deteriorating. :cry:

Guaranteed 3 years so I hope it does not fall apart in year 4. :cry:

I don't know if it floats but it does hold air for a least 4 hours :?

Judging by the pic I think the chartplotter is broke.

That appears to be a living room of sorts........slightly off course?

That looks like fun Bertrand....cool sail kit.

I got a really cheap sail kit for a Portabote off ebay - and I dont even own a portabote yet !!

Terry - up here in the NE (Q1 is even more north than I am) we are too cloudy to get much UV....my cheap PVC boats are >5 years without any degradation. Still, maybe you can talk Ruth into spinning out a nice blue Sunbrella cover for it..
