I find it quite odd that in some areas it is seemingly impossible to buy a boat at the moment but what I think is probably the best SIB the new Honwave T38IE 3 seems to be available all over the place at what I think is a very good price of £1,200.
Having already got the T38IE 2 and having used it a bit I think it is an excellent and very capable sib....and perfect for the blow up and deflate each time option.
Having had my first trip out this year on my 3.2m Ali floored sib I cant help thinking that if you intend to keep a boat inflated all the time then the Ali floor option seems quite a lot better. So the Honwave T35AE looks a good option and would I am sure feel very sturdy under foot. I also think the larger toobs ect over my 3.2 m generic Chinese Ali floor sib would be reassuring . Seems not to be available to buy though.
Through all the twists and turns of SIB ownership the T38 has been a constant in my advice for others to buy who's needs in any way seemed aligned with its attributes. Now the slight revamp and deletion of the transom tabs puts it right up there. At the price new vs used values very little to lose even if it doesn't suit and is sold on promptly.
I've owned a T35 and it was superb in all respects apart from as a single person setup from a car each outing when the scars from the alloy floor edges were often evident.

100 % agree and as a leave set up SIB I think the T35AE is hard to beat at the moment
If leaving it inflated why not a rib?
