[For Sale] 2006 Honda Honwave Marine 3.8m air V-floor inflatable
Excellent condition, minor repair to deck. Little used, and always kept inflated and covered on the trailer. Seats 5 adults +1 child
2006 Mariner 9.9 hp 4 stroke standard shaft - low hours, not used since last service 2011
Road trailer with hand winch
Electric air pump
Thwart bag
Bow bag
Boat cover and tie down straps
Life jacket
Many other extras
The air floor allows the boat to be folded into its stowage bag and transported inside a vehicle without being encumbered with base boards, strengthening spars etc. making it very portable if it is inconvenient to use the road trailer.
As the air floor needs to be inflated to 0.8 bar use of the battery driven air pump is really essential (although it can be done by the supplied foot pump!!)
All in all, a very safe set up for a family which can be easily launched and recovered.
£1900
Photos to follow I am having difficulty getting them uploaded!!

How old is the boat? Is it patched and where exactly? Holds air okay?
The engine needs a service if it's not been used for a few years. Approx. how many hours does it have? I know you say low. Is it a recoil or electric start? Bit unusual to have a long shaft on a Honwave.
How old is the trailer? What make? Are the bearings okay and when were they last renewed?
What's the other extras, anything you've not mentioned?

Not sure about the Honwave, but when I had a Bombard 420 Aerotec that needed a long shaft.Andy

Boat was bought with engine 2006, engine is not long shaft but standard, hours approx 50. Recoil starter
The patch is on the inside of one of the floor sections and it holds the air to the same extent as the other floor section. Photo attached
The trailer was bought by me second hand in 2007 and I was told the bearings had been replaced, I have not replaced them since but they seem quiet.
Other extras are a couple of jackets, baler, oars (of course), anchor (if I can find it), a couple of fenders
plus anything else I can find in the mean time!

Think this is the photo of the patch.
A short shaft is for a 15" transom, a long shaft is for a 20".

Yes, that is the photo - thanks.
Engine is short shaft, I always considered that as the standard length and the long as the alternative, obviously incorrectly

Wouldn't say that.
I may be interested in the package. I was thinking of buying new and getting a 15-20hp outboard.
