Default Thomas Gets a Boat!

How long is it, How heavy is it, how small does it fold?
Do they have a way of putting a steering console on it?
You gettings davits?

The 5 HP got the old Quicksilver 300 (9'10) on a plane with just me in
it. I had to lean forward a bit and then it would skate along at around
13-15 knots. I don't want to deal with a huge heavy motor, so the 6 or
8 seems to make sense. No davits for the 35s5. It's an airdeck dinghy
and fits in the starboard lazerette deflated. This particular model is
9'5 and weighs 77 lbs. I doubt this dink could handle much more than
9.9Hp, which what I think it's rated for. My old Quicksilver was rated
for 15HP.
