$80 is not a bad price. I paid $119 for mine.

Warning, they are pieces of junk, you could build a much better one in a couple hours. They are tightened by plastic knobs that are quickly stripped by the metal fittings.

I would sell that sevylor and get a real 'zodiac' style boat with a true transom, seats and just better/safer overall;

nice, did they hold tightly? because most of the mount has like 2 long metal sticks that hold near the paddle holding hole.

Kind of hard to tell in the photo because the boat isn't fully inflated but the wood is not vertical.

Once you put the electric on and are under thrust, the motor stands up straight and is pretty stable.

It is seemingly a great deal, if I didn't already have an inflatable and an aluminum I'd be all over it.

Hypalon goodness right there.  If you check it out, pay close attention to the transome area where the fabric attaches to the wood.  Not a super hard fix if it isn't terrible.

Could be a steal if it checks out.  Avon are a top brand in hypalon inflatables.

Excellent idea, cost way less and more sturdy.

will you able to make one and sell it to me?( I would like to make one myself, but i live in a apartment and i dont have any tools like trill, saw etc to make it.

Thank you
