Hi All
I am trying to decide on a new tender for our Sealine S38. I have been using my brothers 2.8m Honwave with a 5HP Honda o/b. This was fine as a simple slow tender but had nowhere to store the o/b when not in use.
I have just ordered and had delivered a set of folding dinghy chocks (despite cancelling the order long before delivery due to awaiting final thoughts
) , have sold the Honda o/b (at my brothers request) and about ready to give him his Honwave back. I am therefore considering what to get. I would like a small jet rib so the kids (both small and grown up 
) can have some fun with it, inc towing water toys. Love the idea of a jet rib for the speed and safety aspects. Unsure though if a 200KG rib would affect handling too much (after all it is only the equivalent of about 3 adults at the back of the boat). Something like the Avon Seasport SC range looks ideal and there are a few about second hand. I also need to consider mecahnism for lifting and launching, and had considered the Hurley davit system.
It's doing my head in with all the different connotations and considerations so any thoughts and/or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
