The Inflatable can also be partially deflated, rolled and tied unto the

foredeck as easily as a nestling dink. With a good electric pump can be

inflated easier than putting a nesting dingy together.


That's true, Thom. It scares me when some guy starts yapping about
running aground 75% of the time, little kids that swim "well" and a
tender little dink that can barely handle the weight of two adults and
kids. I had a walker bay 10 at one point and everyone hated it compared
to the inflatable. It's very hard to swamp or capsize the inflatable of
course. We nearly bought a porta bote, but after putting one together a
few times, we just didn't like it, though it's still better than Mr.
S2's dink.

What a load of frickin' hog**** Bobsprit... there is nothing "dangerous"
about a hard shell unless you sail a sewer like the LIS and live in abject
fear of being contaminated by contact with the water. [Which Makes the swim
platform on your 35s5 ludicrous]. Kids learn to handle boats by being on
them... a roll into the water in Florida won't kill you.... it might in the
LIS. A person of your massive girth and weight needs something like a 14
foot inflatable or an 18 ft single hand Dory to transport your bulk. Since
you couldn't possibly lift your ponderous mass up onto the boat without
tearing out hand rails, stanchions and ligaments... a "swim platform" could
be tax deductible as a handicapped access.

It's a damn good thing you don't use your inflatable dinghy and stay safely
tied to a dock.

I guess Mooron's troll would actually have merit if there was much
truth to it. 4 kids drowned in a small dink two winters back here. The
boat had a crack in it, filled and the positive flotation could not
protect them from the feezing waters. They all died. My inflatable
would never have sank. Period.
Also: Kids fool around, elderly folks have lapses in balance.....and a
hard dink is not friendly to that. In addition to that a hard dink
carries way less, fewer people just can't match the inlfatable in any
way. Have both...but being sensible we use the safer inflatable until
the waters warm up a bit.

209 lbs this morning, Mooron. I'm 6'3. I also ran three miles this
morning before the sun was up while your viens were still drying out.
I'm your superior in every way, Mooron. I'm stronger, faster....and I
have a nicer boat that is also stronger and faster and doesn't have a
poorly made interior that you yourself wrote about!!!

My nesting dinghy is overall a little more than 9' long but has a flat
bow so she has huge amounts of room. Although she is very light and
easy to put together, I realize I coulda made her smaller cuz she is
almost too big. She has much more freeboard than an inflatable and
will take an outboard although she rows and tracks so well that there
is no need. I am certain I can have my dinghy in the water and
assembled and be halfway to shore before Rob can even find the valve on
his inflatable.
My kids are used to both canoes and kayaks and the dink is more stable
than either. However, I am worried about Robs kid as Rob seems to
imply that kids there do not wear lifejackets in the dink. Darwinism
in action I s'pose.
I agree that a nesting dink would not improve the looks of The Cheap
French Whore and since he never leaves the dock this is a major
consideration.

What a complete Crock!.... a total deviation from the facts and a feeble
attempt to redirect the issue. If by some insane and idiotic idea you
consider the variable of climate to the relative merits of safety in a small
boat.... you're delusional and off topic ... pointing out the obvious and
feigning intellect.

Here... I'll spell it out for you since as of late you seem to be having
difficulty following a discussion..... An inflatable can as easily suffer
irrepairable damage that floods the vessel.... you should be properly
dressed for existing conditions!!

You're as lame as dbohara....

Not at the speed Bobsprit waddles..... it's still at least 30 feet down a

Is that what he names his boat? "Cheap French
Whore" I was hoping "Brown Stain" would win out.

It seems Swab has never used an inflatble either.

I never should have given him that old Avon with the
transom missing. I told him it was not repairable.

Someday, he'll get in an inflatable and try rowing it.

I can see his obituary now..."Lame overweight Swabbie
carried out to sea on inflatable dink when his outboard
failed. Unable to row against prevailing winds. Not
carrying an anchor or hand held VHF. Not seen alive
again."
