Phil, Check out Gig Harbor Boat Works http://www.ghboats.com. (their site is temporarily down as I write this) We had their 9' sailing dinghy and were quite satisfied by it. It rowed like a dream and sailed nicely in a stiff breeze. But it wouldn't point worth a damn in light air. We had a Susuki 3hp outboard for it which was really too heavy. I choose the engine because of F-N-R and remote fuel tank. I planned to store the engine in the engine room and didn't want gas in there. Anyway, a 2hp for that size would have been much better. If I were to get another I'd pick a larger size instead. While they are not as stable as the Boston Whaler or Livingston type dinghies, they can readily be moved without the use of an engine. (Every try to row a Livingston into a slight chop? Very wet and extremely slow.) Anyway, I'd readily buy another if it fit my needs. Jim McCorison M/V Maana Seattle, WA
