What is folks opinion w.r.t RIB inflatables for this use? As I said,
I've got real doubts about the durability of one used on our rocky
beaches, but maybe I am wrong about that?
It will get scratched up on the bottom but nothing structural unless
you really bang it hard. If it were me I'd be inclined toward a 17 or
18 ft aluminum with a 40 horse 2 stroke on it. For rough water
conditions I'd go with a RIB however. They are amazingly sea worthy
and will continue running when half full of water or partially
deflated.
