Light RIBs
 
Hello,

I am looking to get a lightweight inflatable for fishing and general
tooling around. It will mostly be just me, so I would like something
light. I am considering the Apex A-8 light and AB Aria 255, both of
which are under 60 lbs, and I am open to inflatable floor boats that
are well-regarded. I would like to be able to get on plane and would
prefer better handling, obviously.

TIA

i have a manta 8ft with 9.9 and it is very light...but it pounds teribly
in chop. you need the weight to smooth out the ride.
