Hi,
First I'd like to thank the list for their input on the C.A.R.D radar
detectors and my other requests for info.

I need to buy a new inflatable, preferably hyperlon and an outboard
motor to go with it. Our last one, a PVC one died after 10 years of
good service.

I have settled, though not finally, on an Archilles 9'6" one with an
inflatable floor and keel. The dealer here in Sydney has a package
which includes a Tohatsu 5HP 2 stroke outboard. It costs about US$570
to ship it to the airport at Port of Spain, Trinidad. Currently my
nesting hard dinghy has a 3.3 Mercury 2 stroke (in reality a Tohatsu)
which has given 7 years of great service.

I have browsed such as Defender and find that the inflatable itself is
cheaper than in Australia but that nobody seems to offer 2 stroke
motors in the USA. I have been told that the 5HP Tohatsu 2 stroke
outputs 6.2 horsepower and is cheaper to buy whereas the 4 stroke
outputs only 5HP and requires more maintenance.

Does anyone know if 2 stroke outboards are available in the USA or in
the Caribbean?

I seem to recall someone mentioning that somewhere in the Caribbean
there is a country where inflatables can be bought cheaper than
elsewhere. Any clues anyone?

Any advice gratefully received
Peter
