I'm getting either a 180/230 size dinghy....would one of those flextail pumps do the job or do I need something with a bit more oomph?
TIA

Don’t know about flextail but when I had mine I used a small 12v one and it was spot on probably took 5minutes from memory it was a Raptor x wide 👍

Depends on the Flextail pump, you'll need to make sure its PSI output can inflate the boat to its required PSI 👍

If you mean their SUP pump then I should think so as it goes to 45psi

If you mean their sleeping pad pumps then as Vossy says, you'll probably not get high enough pressure, but could just finish it off with a hand or foot pump

Make sure you get a SUP pump that rates up to the required PSI for the boat tubes & the inflatable floor - floor is usually higher & need it to be rock hard for it to do it's job
Loads of options on Amazon and the like, I bought a cheap one first for 50ish from memory, lasted me a couple of seasons of trips (multiple inflate/deflate each time, plus transport boat & mat) before packing up. Invested in a proper one that was 100ish and it's done a season and a half without fault

Just got a 12v pump off amazon for about £100. You need one that displays the PSI/BAR pressures so you can inflate the boat correctly. As others have mentioned, an airdeck floor usally needs inflating much higher than the individual boat tubes. I previously had the Nash 240 and from memory i'm sure the chambers were 25kpa (0.25 bar) and the floor was 68kpa (0.69 bar).

I got a Raptor Airdeck X-Wide 2.7m at the weekend.
It came with the pump they sell

I found my £30 LIDL effort was just as good as the £100+ effort...and I was able to run the LIDL one off a battery which was handy. The pump from Raptor has crocodile clips which I put onto a big LiPo.
They both offer an upper PSI/bar limit so you can turn them on and let them turn off automagically when they get to the correct pressure.
