Looking at the Carp Spirit 180 or the Bark 190 or maybe 230 which has oarlocks. Any feedback on these or any others worth a look.

Was using a Bic 245 hard boat which was great but nowhere to store it at the lake now so going inflatable.

Carp spirit looks possibly more robust but the Bark is less than half the weight which would be a big bonus if it's up to the job.

Only using it for baiting up and spot finding on a lake. So need space for aquascope, prodding stick, h blocks etc and bait.

Edit: bought the Carp Spirit, Heavy but that hopefully means it'll last

has it got an air deck or slats?

air decks were a game changer for me & you should be able to find one that fits in the bottom to replace the slats if you want to lighten the load. they don't have to be an exact fit to work as intended.

Are you thinking of selling the Bic?

Shame you live far away as I'll be selling my Raptor boat 200wide air deck soon

Never ever seen the water 😳

Nash 240 mk2 with the keel or one of the raptor models. All you need really.

Has anyone got any experience with the imperial baits boats. I hear they are well thought of

Raptor all the way, I have the 160 xlt it's a great bit of kit and light on

Best inflatable money can buy is the iBoat , made in Germany at Imperial baits. Worth spending the extra on these as they are great .
