Tired Dinghy

[Guest]

I'm afraid the dinghy has just seen its last season, but what to repalce it with?
RIB, Rollaway, or same. Have got 4HP outboard but may upgrade for fun factor. length limit of say 3m. Advice welcome

Thanks

Poor bugger [sad] No ones answered you. So here you go.
Be carefull of increasing outboard size. We had this thread months ago. Bent davits and smashed up back end. Coure you might not have davits? in which case it might be all right. Cant help with the dinghy. Just to many sorts these days. Came across a Compas one a few weeks ago. Looked very sexy and cheap.

I brought myself a Wetline 260 last year and it goes well with my 4hp outboard. I have found though that it prefers to be left inflated at all times and tends to get seam leaks when folded up. Not sure if this is standard with this type of dinghy. It cost around £350.

About 10years ago I bounght the poor mans Zodiac, the Bombard AX3 and it's still going strong. It's a roll away type and I keep an electric air pump contiually connected just in case I need an emergency evacuation.(!!!)
Takes about 2 minutes to pump up that way
