Welcome to the forum.

All the cheaper inflatables I know of are made in the far east. For a SIB... being made there is not a problem as long as the brand or importer you choose has proper quality control in place.

Bark are one of the "cheaper" brands than the more popular Honwave and Excel etc.

I believe these are made in Eastern Europe. I have seen a few similar used by intrepid Polish lads for sea fishing.They were Kolibri make and looked solid enough to me
I would get the 310 with 6hp motor for lake and river trips

I was looking at Bark and then I found this which is cheaper and I think a lot better
