Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Most certainly, if you are by the sea, a river or a canal.

Looks worth £40 if it does what you want it to do.

Not necessarily. If it lets you down at a critical time, then it is worse than not having it at all and using an alternative!

You don't usually get a lot of build quality for £40. It would need a careful inspection and consideration of where you would actually use it. It's not like you can carry it around too easily.

Chinese by any chance??

ok for fun imo

I thought you were selling a second hand one.

I've seen a few similar boats. price range from £90 to £300.

No need to apoligise. I just didn't believe you could buy one new for that money. Thus it was 2nd hand.

I would imagine that it would be really thin for that although for that price you could have a very handy BOV.
