Ok, who knows where to buy the cheapest 4 person inflatable tender from

Just got a honda 2.7m tender and 5 hp outbaord for €1905

But you have to come to Dublin

I was thinking of more in the £200-£300 price range, but thanks anyway

Try these people.

I spoke to a mate at the weekend who got a great little tender from them recently for good money.

Arun Nautique, Yacht Chandlers, Littlehampton, 01903 730558

I know they will dispatch it too.

Brand new Seago 2.6m - NOT an auction - £299 - loads of similar things on ebay - just do a search for inflatable and sort by price.

About to buy one myself!!!

Often helps to look at the people's online ebay store as well - loads of bargains!!!

The cheap ones are usually the heaviest. And I mean heavy! Check out the spec before ordering.

If you decide that a light one would be preferable, look at Lodestar.

I would have thought heavier means more robust and better quality??? Thicker materials and better fabrics etc???

It is AMAZINg the way prices are being driven down - mate just bought a brand new genny 6.5kva off ebay for £395 inc vat!!! It runs really well and is really quiet.

the same people have a 3" petrol water pump like the firebrigade etc use for £145!!!!

Bloody incredible - obviously not going to be as well made as better brands but at those prices you can afford to take a chance!!!

Not these days - all depends on how much you use something - alright that cheap genny may not last as long as one costing £1400 BUT I bet 4 of them would!!!

......buy twice and people will laugh at you as well

Not entirely true because the hypalon Avon Rover Air decks are bloody heavy and bloody expensive!
Remember, when looking for a tender the bigger the better, by the time you have a couple of bags and a few people space becomes limited. I can recommend an air deck type one with the inflatable V because they are so much more stable.
