hey guys
Anyone know of a place where I can buy an inflatable boat or rubber dinghies with a backboard to mount my motor?
Coz I was thinking of getting a tinny but my stepdad doesn't want to get a trailer so we would have to put the tinny on top of our car on our roofrack and I don't know how we are going to get it off or on for that matter. So that's why i'm looking for an inflatable boat or a very light boat that is easy to transport!

HI Jack,
In regards to finding a Inflatable boat, try surf lifesaving clubs. I am involved in 1 on the sunshine coast and we had one that they were going to sell. They are the Achillies brand with a wooden transem, 3.85mts long ang great fun to drive. Overall wieght of the boat with the floor in and no motor is approx 60-80kg wich two people can handle easily and they can handle up to 30 hp. So give em a try and if you want me to find out if the club I'm in has any for sale, let me know
Bill ;D

Jack,
These IRB's roll up so you may be able to squeeze it in the boot. I checked down the club the other day and they had sold the on that they had. But I'm sure you'll trake a boat down soon.
Good luck,
