Practical Sailor did a review a while back. We have a Caribe (the only one I
would recommend) and it would not plane reliably with our 9.9 Tohatsu.
We now have an 18hp on it and are very happy. Just sold the old Caribe
and got a newer one last winter. Still very happy. The ultra-lite RIBs are
probably a better bet with a 9.9 but still, a RIB is pretty heavy compared
to
a non-RIB.

I am interested in purchasing a RIB inflatable. I have a 9.9 motor and
intend on carrying both on St Croix
davits Is there a site where I can find out which ones will plane quickly
with about 400 lbs load ?
Thanks Bert
