Hi mate - theres a boats section that has some info in there if you have a scroll.
Inflatable wise , Raptor Boats and Jochym Marine would be my first port of call. For just days or 1 night or so, i use a prologic wave runner and its high spec and great.
I like air deck as apposed to a hard floor, but either isnt a deal breaker. I only fish by myself and find the airdeck easier to install
Electric Motor wise - ive had a few and never really had a problem with any (fox / bison) but currently use minn kota traxxis and the difference in battery drainage is well worth the extra spend.
Other bits
Ecoworthy have been reliable for me for batterys. (100ah) -
Vicron charger (ip22)
Get a portable electric pump (air nrg 6000)
Echo you can spend silly money, but i really rate the garmin striker 5cv as good middle ground.
Borika for tranducer mount and transom clamp
Life Jacket
Looks alot, but this is good gear and im always glad i spent a few quid more when im alone in the middle of nowhere and its a bit dicey.

Inflatable boats... there are many on the market. Some of the top brands are Raptor, Spartan boats and iboat
Mercury and Yamaha offer great combustion motors which are required on the big inland seas to get to your peg otherwise you will burn through batteries in no-time while boating from the ramp to your peg.

I would look at the I Boat from imperial baits , made in Germany with a much better guarantee then the others. May cost a bit more but worth it.

Hi big Jim I have been watching a lot of Lee mozza videos on you tube that is re lighting my fire and although he is sponsor of fox he explains to go for a wide boat the 410 fox he uses to give more stability in the water when standing up playing fish etc. He also recommends using brushless motors over non as the brushless are more powerful and last longest with lithium batteries.
