What's to compliment ? As a transportation tender from shore-marina to main rib, towing it behind rib, for pottering around while rib is at anchor ? Personally wouldn't go for one less than 3.20 mt. engine could be upgraded any time to a larger one without changing sib size. A larger sib will perform much better with a smaller engine than same on a smaller boat.
We have a family holiday coming up to Scotland and want something to take with us, plan to roll it up on board and then inflate if we stop in an area where I will leave the boat in the water either on a morning or on anchor.
A 2.6 mt sib is too basic and small, try not to go under 3.0 mtr sib, for your particular needs check any reputed brand with an air deck. Just roll sib along air deck and inflate.
Velocity Marine i thinking of letting this one go as i don`t see the point in 2 , i`m looking for £270 its the 3m one in pretty good condition based in coventry
