BCF sell Bestway inflatable boats and I am considering the 2.8m.
Another brand under consideration is Island inflatable boats.
I would appreciate any pros and cons, thanks.

I've had an Island... didn't really last the distance. Glue melted on seams when left in the sun on the roof of the car too long.

I have an Aquila now, and it's been pretty good.

Island advise that seams are welded however, the inflatable floor is glued.

Yep, and they were the seams that let go. Black floor, white vinyl tubes.... In fairness, it was some time ago, so not sure of the current quality.
