Bombard Aerotec

[jorisjardin]

Hallo,<br /><br />I am Joris Jardin from Belgium. I just found this forum!!<br /><br />I have bought a Bombard Aerotec a few months ago.<br /><br />Does anybode has experience with this boat? Or does anybode has experience with a Bombard?<br /><br />I the past we had a zodiac. That was a really good boat, but it was to heavy to transport with the caravan, when we went on holiday.<br /><br />I hope that the bombard is from the same quality.<br /><br />I also don't know if i would buy a 2 or a 4stroke.<br /><br />I want to buy a 25 Hp so the 2stroke is 50kg and the 4stroke 71kg. And on the boat may only 65.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Joris Jardin<br /><br />Sorry for my bad English!!

Re: Bombard Aerotec

hello, i'm new here too. i own a 5 meter bombard commando. i think they are of good quality. some people don't like that they're made of PVC material. they prefer hypalon. PVC is also a great material though and mine has aged really well. <br />as for engine choice i would choose the 2 stroke. your fuel consumption will be low anyway with 25hp so get the lighter engine. it will be louder, but more easily trasported by hand and faster out of the hole.<br /> <br />good luck and welcome.<br /><br />andy

joris,<br /><br />i have a 55hp suzuki 2stroke. i think that's about as big as you can go on that boat. it has an aluminum floor and an aluminum center console. it's pretty quick. i use it near the columbia river bar in washington. one of the most dangerous bars in the world. nice and safe<br /><br />andy
