Just been thinking about an ond inflatable i had. A Metzler. Just wondering if anyone knows if they are still around, or if anyone here has, or ever had one.
Inflatable powerboats, but could also be rowed, or sail, very versatile little things.
with the 10hp johnson i had on it, it would really shift with just me on board, and remember racing a 20odd foot bayliner with some Volvo penta engine in it and beating it. i was only about 12, was well pleased.
i know i put a plywood deck in it, to stop the floor flexing and slowing the boat down, but just curious to see if anyone knows anything about them now.
