thanks mac, its been a frustrating long road with trademe sellers full of lies, no communication and down right mis representing the state of the item being sold.
luckily neither of these are on trademe and ive had a quick squizz in person.
i do prefer the smartwave, but do like the idea of a newer model donk. no records with the yamaha unfortunately, but it appears clean (as much as one can tell from the outside). Also the smartwave may require work on the trailer.
i do love inflatables, this particular model has more internal beam than most of the cheaper ribs as well as being hypalon (which isnt necessarily better depending on application). it is 86kg as is a glass hull, but that does provide advantage of a better ride and quieter.
both trailers are basic A frame bunk trailers, nothing to write home about, but for the price, if they last 1 year before i trade up, id be happy.
its just a boat to get out spearing over summer and putting out a setline and whilst in welli trying my luck at paua and crays.
