I'd be really keen to hear some feedback on this to guys!
Often wondered how they would fair when I accidentally get the second set of trebles on the crawdad stuck in the side of the boat when landing (or not landing and getting both sets stuck!!!) I've been looking around for a cheap vessel to latch a little leccy onto and these are always in the range, however the above fears put me off a little...

yeah mate, i hate to b pesimistic towards your idea, but i really wouldn't trust an inflateable for fishing purposes. apart from them being very awquard to fish from, they tend to break down after a while, from sun etc, and become quite prone to having the seems go on them

inflatables
hi certate i've been fishing out of inflables for years and think they are great they are much safer and stable than tinnies especially in the sea i have a sevlor 3.3m sevlor 10year old came off the trailer at 90km/hr stuck holes in it cutting up a fish and fished on for hours use it with two office chairs [$5ea] and a 30lb electric great machine for bream fishing mine has a solid floor and transom so easier to mount motors and chairs which you couldn't with the fish hunter also it would be more windprone in open water although more portable cheers fishmania
