Actually, my nesting dink IS bigger than your inflatable and cannot
sink. As my 3 kids have been able to swim like fish since they were
tiny, I really dont worry about them and the dink


Bad answer. A toddler is only able to swim for short periods, and quite
poorly when the water is below 50 degrees. In addition your dink will
ride too low in the water to bail properly in any kind of chop. Not the
case with the inflatable. Our dinghy can also carry 1100 lbs and handle
a 9.9 HP for speeds to 20 knots. In an emergency the inflatable in more
versatile, can be left inflated or stowed and just does more, carries
more and has more stowage options. Of course it costs more. Typically a
low end inflatable and 8 HP will set you back 3K. Clearly that's why
you don't have one. And as I said, I have a very nice little 8 foot
sailing/rowing dink as well.
Once again you find yourself coming up short....WAY short!
