when buying an inflatable without a hard back board, make sure that it has the attachments at the back for you to be able to attach an engine mount -

you can see them on the back of this - the two plastic attachments at the back of the boat next to each other. Mounts can be bought from Wish / aliexpress for not much at all.
Also air-decks make a huge difference on boats without boards / slats and really add to stability of the vessel - I got mine from aliexpress too.

Unfortunately they are out of stock at the moment.... But they should be back in soon (I'm waiting for one).... Search Hunter SP235 or Hunter SP180 on the Tackle Box website. Incredible value (why they are sold out). Same 0.7mm PVC and slatted floor as the very much more expensive boats mentioned already below.
RRP's are £219.99 for the 180, and for the 235 size £249. (Less than half price of the equivalent Fox boats)
You will not get better for the wonga without question.

I had a Plastimo raid 200. It was a great bit of kit for baiting up.
It was from a Marine Store in Malden, Essex.
Seago are also a decent brand.

Raptor and Proline are comparable. Raptor used (a bit) better material, but a 2.00 Fast weighs about 27kgs and an X-wide 36kgs, compared to 17kgs for the proline. I don't think they are much different in terms of quality. An X-wide will give you an advantage in terms of moving around the lake with all your gear. I don't think you will be disappointed with either of those brands. If what you mentioned is the only thing you will be doing with it, I would go for the Proline, especially if you fish alone because of the weight. But if you decide to fish Cassien all of a sudden, you will hate yourself for not having bought an X-wide.

Had a look at the bark ones, also raptor fast boat and pro line commando. Anyone know how they all compare in terms of build/material quality ?

Can anyone recommend a decent 2metre inflatable boat . It will be used for dropping rigs, baiting up and going out to weeded up fish. The lake is only 10 acres so nothing massive. Seen the fox ones but I’m pretty sure they are overpriced being that it has the fox logo on
Any ideas?
