Yeah, what i was saying is that i don´t want to spend more than 1500 €

The problem with a "hard" boat is that my car doesn´t have one of those trailer hitches (or whatever they are called) nor do i have a garage to put it in when not in use.

Well you buy the boat and I'll pay the harbour mooring fee's, then you can fly over to England and we can go fishing.



We could also import drugs from impoverished nations.

The trailer hitch isn't so bad. They aren't that expensive and would only hurt your car if you tried to haul something beyond the towing capacity of your car. Not having a garage for it could be a deal killer though. It's way too easy to steal a boat and trailer that's just sitting out. I rent storage for my bass boat, but that would be too expensive for a little skiff or dinghy.

I still believe that inflatables are a complete waste though. Nothing sucks more than getting out on to a lake or pond to a decent fishing spot and finding out you have a slow leak somewhere. I guess you could get something like a Saturn inflatable (the poor man's zodiac, but still well built). But inflatables like that require some assembly, you don't just inflate and go.

hmm,..

A Saturn inflatable ?

No, a Saturn Inflatable boat:

I don´t want to spend more than 3000 US$.
tbh i think a non motorized inflatable boat would do.
specs:
atleast space for 2 people and fishing gear
payload: min 200kg

Any suggestions ?
I thought this one looks nice

Don't forget the safety gear - vests, flares (?), beacon (?) etc.

[Vitoethiche]

Is it just for lake fishing because for that money you get a proper boat like a Corribee.

[uniopaypamp]

And ud be using a cheapy electric outboard, thrashing about with oars when fishing not the best really.

[enurihent]

Every experience I've had with inflatables like the one you have pictured has been negative. You can get a nice 12' aluminum row boat with trailer for around 2k US dollars. Add in a small 2 horsepower motor and you'll be just edging under your 3k budget.

I wouldn't go with an inflatable, to be honest. If you're looking to not use a motor, I'd go with a fishing kayak or a canoe. I have a fishing kayak, and its great. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like, but even if I only go a few times a year its not like I have to pay to use it as long as I go to a free reservoir or lake.

There's something called the Porta-bote, or something like that. I've heard people tell me great things about them. I don't know if they've got them over in Germany, though.

for a 1000 euro you'll buy a boat with trailer and small outboard motor.. Also it has no point with todays exchange rate to look for boats in the USD range.. 3000USD is about 1600 ~1700 euro. [rofl]
