might be ok for calm waters on a mild river but dosent look strong enough for serious use.i dont think i'd like to chance my life in it.

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.

[Timelord]

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.

For fun use only it looks a bargain!

I should have just gave link, although I did type Lidl and gave the date SD which is 28/05/2012.

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.
