I am looking for a new 2.4 ish rubber ducky as a tender, not heavy as transported on car roof racks.
Shore to boat 60m and with 5hp Yamaha
Boat will be stored in our garage so well protected most of its life.
Advice, please?

Intex Mariner 3 is good value at $199 + $15 delivery. Motor mount is an extra $30, but it can only take up to 3.5hp.

Weighs about 30kg with the heavy slats. I found they can be easily replaced with pool noodles. Much lighter now

Certainly cheap enough. Seems a bit heavy which has the upside that it may not be a pool toy.
Do you have one? Got any pictures of yours?
Don't think I would buy one without seeing it and that of course isn't possible with mail order :( .

I guess around 12kg without the slats. It handles the harbour chop pretty well. Decent oars and rollocks, but the inflatable seats tend to pop out.
