Have you looked at either raptor or proline? Raptor has a range of boats with loads of accessories. Proline produces the commando's and commando lightweights. The latter are particularly light (17 kilo's). Both brands come in handy, quality backpacks (as opposed to many other brands).

Not quite sure if they're available in the UK though.. Also heard good stories about the Fox ones as well. Supposed to be quality built.

Also have a look at honwave. I would suggest an air floor.

The Raptor boat with the inflatable bottom will take some beating. have used one a few times and if money is no object the one to get.

As far as money goes with a boat I don't scrimp, quality could determine life or going home in a box.. I do a bit of big water fishing in Europe and went with a raptor. Fantastic quality, and service for that matter.. the reinforced areas are exactly where they should be on a boat used for angling purposes, I actually ground mine a few times on tree stumps at Cassien and barely even left a scratch.

Didn't Johnson Ross recently say on Facebook they needed to sell a couple boats to make space at a ‘very' good price. Their words! And can't remember if inflatable or not. Sorry.

obviously raptor if budget allows. bark get good reviews and fair priced, Seago 230 is a decent boat having used one before, can pick one up new for around £330.

I own a bark 270 and value for money its a wicked boat slightly less wide than its equivalents but sturdy and made from decent strong materials I have no worries recommending it
