We have an eight foot Boatex hard dinghy for sale. It's located in the New
York area and is in excellent condition. A nearly new Mercury 3.3 two
stroke is available with it as well.

Asking $800 for the boat alone
Asking $1500 for the boat and motor

Tiny bit of room for negotiation to anyone in a hurry.

One of the more annoying losses when Alien was robbed was the loss of my
Quicksilver Dinghy and 5hp Tohatsu outboard. The upside is that I've
covered
completely and I can have all new stuff....not that the stolen stuff was
old. I
will be getting one of the new 4cycle outboards, but I'm wondering what to
do
about the dinghy this time around.

Question: Will a smaller Dinghy plane like the 9'10 Quicksilver did with
the
same HP. I may actually go to a 6HP. Any chance that a 6HP will be enough
to
plane with 2 people aboard? I'll also be looking into the Porta-boats. How
well
will they plane with two people and 6HP?
