Hi guys I'm looking for a inflatable boat to take on a trip to France, the lake is not a inland sea but about 24 acres so don't need a massive boat also it's not going to get allot of use each year so I don't want to spend the earth on one . I came across one of the above on amazon for £250 posted and was wondering if if anyone had any experience with these boats?
Many thanks

Make sure you buy a life jacket too.

Hi I have a Bark 260NP and i am fairly happy with it. I use it to look for clear spots along the margin and transport my gear. It really fast to inflate and deflate and packs away in the boot with loads of room for other stuff. The foot pump it comes with is not very good but will do the job.

Ive had another 320 inflatable and the material was a bit thicker than the Bark boat but the Bark is holding its own so far. The 240 does not have the protective strip along the side of the air chambers, I know Ive banged mine of the side of stands and the protective strip helps cushion the blow.

The one I have has the mount for the trolling motor, I used the oars once and didnt like them, the boat has a flat bottom and on a strong wind with oars you will get blown around.

I was also in the market for a new inflatable and after some research I've recently took delivery of a AQUA STORM inflatable dinghy...haven't used it yet but 1st impressions the quality is spot on .these are a very good price without the branded named carp tax..I paid £340 this was delivered from Germany.. ..ive gone for the smaller 2.1mtr boat has this size suits my needs however they do a good range of sizes...I ordered through a German aqua storm de agent communicated through emails.1st class comms everything I asked was answered , no issues with payment or delivery.. the boat comes with everything you need..from oars,carry bag,slatted floor ,repair kit etc.........I came across this company whilst looking at reviews on different inflatables...boats are made in Ukraine..can't wait to get out now and use it....another inflatable boat company for potential buyers to look at .

When I was researching for a inflatable I was aware that a lot of these type boats are made in Ukraine
Possibly the same factory that makes other brands
