Philpot or EsoxUK are your men they have quite a bit of experience. I think it's quicker than you would expect though.  Terry |

You are going to find when I get back back from hols Alan because we are going up the Ancolme to find a pike if he is at home.
Okay, let us look at the two possibilities. manual pump, normally supplied with a SIB which takes between 15 to 30 mins. An electric pump such as the Bravo which both Phil and I use will do the same boat in 3 to 5 mins. On the Honwave 3.8mt boat I had which is a huge amount of tube and floor section, it took 9 mins from fully flat to fully inflated. Remember you can be doing other things while the boat is being inflated because these pumps are automatically switched off when the desired pressure is reached.
One point to consider is the deflation. The Bravo pump will also deflate so you can get all the air out making a smaller unit to store.
Don't do anything Alan until the week after next but if you are eager, pop over and we can blow it up so you can see yourself.

The bravo pump is the way to go, using the foot pumps is a pain in the leg...lol
