I've been thinking about getting a boat and I've been looking round for maybe an inazone. I haven't been in one but I've heard they're quite good first boats. I've seen an inazone 230 for £250 and the owner has sent me some pictures. I think it looks ok but i'm not sure quite what I should be looking for and wondered if anyone had an opinion:

Apparently Amy found the 230 too big and the 220 too small, but Kym has a 230 and likes it (sadly its in the lakes so I cant try it out).
Any advice folks?
Thanks, Alice

you might find the 230 a bit big.... I think the weight range is between 10-16 stone,. having said that you would have plenty of leg room, Im sure someones got an inazone in the boatshed somewhere you can try out, there were loads at one point.

It ma be a little big on you, but i would say having a boat a little too big is better than having one too small.

I used an InaZone 232 for a while until just before I came to uni !!

You could ask someone who has a 220 in the shed if you can try that out, I dont think there are any 230's in the shed?

There is a 230 in the shed (Adam Clarkson's Boat - my old one) it'll probably be a bit too big for you - but it is personal preference.

I have never had an Innazone, orange is a lovely colour. My first boat was orange and it was fab!

Hope my advice is very helpful, stay tuned for more!
