Avon y class
Hi Guys i have chance of a y class x rnli inflatable just wondered what your thought are its heavy and i am told can be deflated and floor removed so it folds up any advise please on this, is it practical as it looked a bit of a long job to me.
its old but no repairs i am wondering if getting a modern sib of approx 3.6-3.8 would be more manageable and practical.
regards
johnyp

The king of small SIB’s but forget any idea of packing one easily in the boot! They are HEAVY duty...you’ll need a trailer.

All the Y Class info here:

Only thing that comes close is an Aerotec
