This 2000 avon inflatable is in great form. It was my boys boat which they used the last two summers. It starts and runs good. It was used on a regular basis this summer time and had a latest service with oil and impeller change. Loads of room, the 4stroke pushes the boat round 20 trailer has newer tires, bearing, lights and winch. If the boat is constantly dragged behind your sailboat, left yr round on a dock, or left dirty and immediately under harmful UV-rays, you possibly can't expect it to last perpetually. If you use a boat cowl , or at the least cover boat with a bit of tarp, your SATURN will final for much longer.

I do not find out about build quality or longevity. What I do know although is I feel their design is genius in phrases if making a clean experience. We at all times focus on fibreglass versus aliminium. And usually aside from weight fibre glass have the sharper vee bottom making them cut by swell or chop, however rock and roll once stopped and anchored up. The Ali boat generally has a flatter backside with a better gun whale They bash and crash by way of chop hurting your again but very secure when fishing.

We use an eleven′ Aquapro with an aluminum bottom that we bought 11 years in the past in NZ on the first leg of our circumnavigation. Even with a 15hp four stroke Yamaha we had been in a position to get it on the beaches. That may be a bit harder on the rocks of Maine and Greenland and the shores in between. We also carry a 13′ fiberglass whitehall dinghy which is straightforward to drag ashore. I inform it that that is its lot in life for being a fiberglass dinghy. We supply each of these read on deck which is at all times a little bit of a concern but we attempt our greatest to keep away from the form of weather that can wash them away.
