hey Joe, did you see the AL. dinghy?

Yelp, pretty cool.

Agreed

I bet it's lighter than Doug's carbon fibre dink, and just as strong.

Not even close. 2-3 times heavier than Dougs dink.

And cost half as much, and could be built in 1/4 of the time.

Possibly.

And will last 3 times as long.

Probably.

And looks just as good.
Maybe better--we shall see.

And carries more.
I don't think so.
