After reading your post about your overloaded dinghy I
feel I must comment for your safety and that of your
loved ones.

You should look for a bigger dinghy. Something in the ten-foot
range should suffice for your load.

May I suggest you look at a Walker Bay 10. You can sail it
and you can motor it and it carries a much larger load
than your present little pram.

BTW, put that fat dog on a diet before he gets
a stroke or something.
