Basically for your application you can get any inflatable boat. For the most part they are all made in Asia somewhere using PVC and glued together. There are countless brands out there all selling similar boats with different badges. The brands specify to the manufacture which colors they want, boat dimensions, how thick they want the PVC etc. At the end of the day they will all work and you will be happy with any of them.

Many people mentioned boat X being better than Zodiacs and for the most part its not true. It depends entirely on which Zodiac model they compare it to. Since the 2000s zodiac started outsourcing their low end models to be built in Asia to compete against all these brands so really the low end Zodiacs are no different than the ones i described above. If you are interested in the higher quality Zodiacs look at the Futura, Classic or even a milpro models. As far as I know all these models are still produced in the Zodiac factory in France (where no other brands are produced).

As for the brands you mentioned they have been around for awhile now so you can expect them to honor warranties if something were to happen. A lot of these generic inflatable boat companies pop up for a bit then close down so do your homework on the company.
