Hey guys,
First post here, but I've been reading a lot on this forum as I prepare to make the jump from kayak to inflatable ownership. I was originally planning on buying a new Zodiac 260 or 310 model but came upon a local used boat that piqued my interest. It's a 1989 Nissan NX102 inflatable, hypalon construction, 10' 2" long and lightly used with only a few minor abrasions, no leaks or patches.
I haven't seen the boat in person (yet) but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these boats and can direct me in terms of construction quality/durability and if I should even be considering something this old; not much info on the net. It's a good price and comes with a low hour Nissan motor though so I'm very tempted. Use would be in flat water to 1-1.5ft chop and about 5hp.
