Lot 104: An Inflatable Boat with Wooden Transom and Floorboard

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £60

Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises an inflatable boat, currently in a deflated state, constructed from a synthetic coated fabric in red and black. The boat features a rigid wooden transom designed for an outboard motor attachment, fitted with a central textured metal mounting plate and two smaller metal brackets. The interior deck area is equipped with a longitudinal grey metal floor rail. The exterior of the tubes is fitted with black rubberised rubbing strakes, grab ropes threaded through integrated D-ring attachments, and two white plastic rowlock mounts. Four circular inflation valves are visible on the upper surface of the tubes. Included in the lot is a single separate rectangular wooden floorboard panel with a protective red trim. A rectangular manufacturer identification plate is located on the interior of the transom; however, the printed characters are not legible. No other maker marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.


Condition report:

The boat is in a heavily used condition with significant surface soiling, staining, and ingrained dirt throughout the fabric (photo 1). The material shows heavy creasing due to being stored in a deflated state. The wooden transom and the separate floorboard panel exhibit weathering, finish loss, and surface abrasions (photo 1). Metal components, including the rowlock mounts and transom plate, show visible surface wear and oxidation. The air-holding integrity of the chambers and the structural condition of the seams cannot be verified.
