Thread: Recommendations for inflatable dingy

Hi all, am considering getting a little inflatable dingy to use this coming summer. Mostly just for floating down the rivers enjoying the ambience. Thinking the smaller the better to be able to go exploring in some of the smaller waterways with it. In addition to the above I do have a 3hp outboard in the shed so I will more likely than not end up taking it on estuaries and small lakes too.
In addition to living in the Wairarapa, I spend a bit of time around Rotorua, Lower Whanganui river, Tongaporutu and Marlborough sounds so these are the likely places I might look to use it.

I have only had the initial thought so far so the idea is a fairly blank canvas at this stage, any recommendations on make and model are a good start. But also anything a layperson may not think of to watch out for when starting and continuing down this path would be good to know too.
