New APEX inflatable

All was well with our Avon 11' air floor inflatable when we cleaned and stored it for a summer sleep while Memory Rose was on the hard.  Reinflating it though 10 months after, showed we now have a tiny leak in the air floor and center tube.
Finding good Hypalon Glue here in Panama is a chore and the cost prohibitive.  The marine stores stupidly only offer the half pint can and charge an arm and a leg for it.  I found the country's supplier of the glue "Repatiptop.com" and arranged for a pick up of a full quart.  Our Rub Rail had started to fall off 3 years ago, and since we had no glue, we rolled it up for a "someday project".  Now we have glue to put the rub rail back on and fix the floor.



However, I also found a very good price on a new APEX 10' Lite inflatable in Panama City, Panama and decided to prepare for the 'next' 10 years.  Will fix and sell the Avon which is still in excellent condition otherwise, having endured sunlight for part of our last 6 years aboard.

as he has a 14 passenger van.  Boxed up, the inflatable fit inside along with Teddy and 4 slightly scrunched passengers ;)
