I need a new dink. I had a small skimmar which was pretty
unsatisfactory - not much load/person capacity, and not very stable.
It was easy to push a rear quarter under water by standing off center
aft!

I'd like suggestions for a replacement.

Requirements -

Decent performance with a 2HP engine.
Stable when entering and leaving.
Tows well - since I tow my dink. (Keel?)
Minimal maintenance (little wood).
Strong and of course sink proof. (Fiberglass construction, I think)
3 person or better capacity.
Reasonably dry when pushed upwind in chop.

Cruising world reviewed some recently - and comments on those or
others would be appreciated.

The alternative is an inflatable or inflatable RIB - but I've always
liked the reliability and ease of maintenance of a hard dink.
