That looks a nice boat Alan, I am sure you will be pleased with it. Hydro-Force have been around for quite a while and like Excel are more popular in the south of the country. Perfect for some fishing and family fun.
Just wish I had the time to take mine out..................busy busy busy..............but the pike will be targeted as soon as it drops cooler.

We'll the (inflatable deck) boat was unpacked and laid on the camping mat.......and inflated... The inflatable deck had a plank slotted below but above the inflatable keel..just where the sponsons (tubes )taper in to the bow. The engine didn't seem as heavy,in fact it felt a lot lighter than when i first picked it up....? Here are the photos........from having a good inspection of it the quality....looks ok... The lekki pump saved a lot of time (a must),and just when i'd set everything up the heavens opened and a mad scramble to get it all back in the garage....    Overall i'm quite pleased with it,hopefully be on the water with it soon.. : ) |

The CE plate on the transom states that it is category C....as well as manufacturer info and load carrying capacity engine size etc........... C. INSHORE: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m may be experienced. So,ensure you are purchasing the right category boat for what you intend to do with it.........Safety don't use a cat D boat/vessel for offshore as its designed for inland waters..... Design Category D ~ 'SHELTERED WATERS' Designed for sailing on small lakes, rivers and canals where conditions up to and wind F4 and significant wave heights up to, and including 0.5m may be experienced. - See more at: www.sailboat-cruising.com/design-categories.html#sthash.E193d74l.dpuf |

That looks well Alan, I bet you cannot wait to get her wet and I don't mean in the rain.
