    Default Gauging interest on an inflatable boat

    I picked up an 11 ft (or so he thought it was, I havent measure it yet) inflatable from my buddy along with a '91 Force motor by Mercury Mariner (5.5 or 5.9 hp... yah I know, I should know all the damn details).
    The thing is, I also had some guy trade me his kayak for my mt. bike. So now I have a kayak and an inflatable. Each have their own positive attributes, but I think having both of them may be overkill.... especially since the kayak would be easier to handle if I was by myself.

    Would anyone be interested in buying this? Considering the ranges I've seen for inflatables, would be nice to get around $850. Haven't used it yet, so I just gotta make sure the motor runs. Can't wait to try this thing out. Seems like a blast. Who knows, maybe I will fall in love with and and decide to keep it once I get it in the water... which is why I'm just gauging interest at the moment.

    The name on the boat says Storm California Inflatables. Can't find any info on it online.
    It has 4 chambers. One per side, 1 on the floor and 1 for the hull. I picked up the valve adapter yesterday and inflated it for the first time in 5 years. As of this morning it didn't seem to lose any air. I'm gonna check it again when I get home.






    Now I suppose I will sit back and wait for all the knuckle heads to tell me they'd buy it for $2.67.

    Be careful leaving your boat fully inflated in the sun and heat when it's not in the water.
    The air pressure will rise in the chamber and blow up. Good luck. Re
