Been having fun yesterday and today with this thing. I opted for a small
engine, (it will take up to a 15 horse) and have been dutifully following
the break-in proceedure. Today I finally had enough time on it that I could
"open it up".

Little sucker surprised me. Got up on a plane and zipped right along.

This is my first inflatable, and it's a blast.

Hoist system works awesome. All I do is let up on the bow line and the
forward stringer and push the boat out at an angle in the slip. It leaves
plenty of room to launch the inflatable between the boat and the dock.

Yes, for us half the fun of cruising is exploring around in the
dinghy. I predict that once you get addicted you'll want a 15.


Now I'm thinking I need one to pull behind the Key West!
