Pz3 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 To buy a dingy! Lol. Has anyone tried using these super cheap inflatable boats from the wally worlds and sporting good places? I use to have one when I was younger and its not quiet a bass boat but im sure I will be able to go get the lunkers im looking for. Anyone here use one or know of which ones to avoid? Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 6, 2014 Super User Posted May 6, 2014 Talk to pit boss Rick think he got one...then again I haven't heard much from him lately. Either fishing alot or the gators got him lol Quote
CJV Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Stay away from inflatables and keep saving your pennies. Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Stay away from inflatables and keep saving your pennies. Was thinking the same thing. At least start with a kayak. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 6, 2014 Super User Posted May 6, 2014 Inflatables? Like someone mentioned above, save a little bit more $$ and get a yak or if you have a small truck or mid-size truck for that matter, get a small 8ft aluminum tin and trick it out however you like. An inflatable seems to be a solution to get on the water cheaply, but its an inflatable. First thing that comes to mind are punctures. Multiple ones. If you decide to get one, so be it and enjoy... Being on the water is different from being on the bank, that's for sure. Quote
Pz3 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 Hey zodiacs are inflatables... but they cost like 6k lol. Which I will get one one day but that will be for lobster diving mostly. I keep looking for cheap stuff on CL just have found the canoe I want yet. On a side note. The local Fire department built a cardboard and ductape boat for local charity race. That thing was hilarious. It didnt sink at all lol. Quote

Good luck, hope you find what your looking for. Quote
The Commodore Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Save the money and get a 13 ft gheenoe or a Jon boat. If you are into working out then get a kayak or even a paddle board. I wouldn't do a inflatable. Do you have a pickup truck? Quote
Pz3 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Sedan. I am looking at canoes mostly because I know with some pool noodles and a little 550 cord i can get it around.... but then again.... I really do need a truck. Not just for fishing. Quote
The Commodore Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If it's just you going out then I would get a kayak. Lighter and easier to control on the water. If you are on a budget just get the kayak and a roof rack and then save for the truck and bigger boat. Quote
