bargain

I recently bought a Silver Century/90/Osprey and a yam 300s inflateable for £30...the seagull has not been started in yrs..was going to clean tank,change plug,check gear oil then try and start it.As for the yam 300s its been lying in the back of a garden for the last 2yrs,its full of leaves and bugs,just stuck it in the cellar until I get a pump to blow it up..is there a special pump, and where would I get one for this boat,and is there anything I should do to the inflateable to keep it in good condition over the winter,as wont be using it for a few months yet.

I would start by giving the boat a good clean and check for any leaks.
I recently bought a zodiac that had been sat in a damp shed and been nibbled by rats for a long time.All fixed and clean now though

The seagull might need a bit more remedial action to bring back to life again.
A good going over with some wd40 wont do any harm until you can get stuck in with it.
Go over some of the older faq's as most things have already been well covered in the past.
Anything you get stuck with just ask, one of us is bound to offer advice somewhere along the line.

The "rib store" is another place you could try.
I got everything for my zodiac from there. Glue, repair patches in whatever colour you want, foot pumps, stirrop pumps and all sorts.
