I have had good service from my 1963 11 Whaler--45 years worth 210 pounds dry, many engines come and gone, easy to row, 20 knots with 2 plus dog on 15hp, planes 4 with 20hp-can't understand the attraction to RIBs never met one half that age, don't row, leak,expensive--look cool.

And these cruisers do not appear to be floating in a tub of money.
I had never heard of these RIBs before.
Nautica wants $$$ to ship me a RIB, and only offers service in North
America.
Mercury, Zodiac, and Avon just do not seem to measure up to my
standard for a tender: My tender will be my car while cruising full
time mostly europe. It needs to be robust, well made, and reliable.
On a trip, It needs to hold the same number of people who can sleep
aboard.
Also being considered is the 11' Boston Whaler.

Why consider this company when there are so many others well known,
proven, and readily available, such as Nautica, Mercury, Zodiac,
Avon, etc.?......
