Opinions on Quicksilver Tendy 200/240

[Buffalosoldier]

Hi All,

I recently sold my Chinese made 2.6m rib which I used as a tender to my small sailboat. The rib was great and after 10 years still looking like new. It was just too heavy to tow behind the boat and too big to fit on the deck.

I am on the market for a smaller, lighter boat with inflatable floor that can be easily stored on the deck or in the locker.

I would appreciate any opinions on Quicksilver Tendy 200/240 in particular as it ticks all the boxes, it has a air floor, folds up small has inflatable keel and looks good. Any opinions from the owners about build quality and durability would be much appreciated.

The second choice boats are:

Excell Ventura 200/230, Excell Volante 200, Seago Go Lite 230

Any opinions on those would be great too!

I have excluded all premium brands as they are too expensive, please don't point me to those as they are outside my budget. I will probably use this boat 3-4 times a year and mostly on inland waters. I am in Ireland where the second hand market is very small and selection of the brands is limited and shipping very expensive.

Thanks!
