Hi there -

We are first time boaters this year and will be out on the Chesapeake in our
"new" 32 footer. We'd like to think we'll do a fair amount of anchoring and
are quite surprised at the cost of Avov/Zodiac tenders. We have a Sevylor,
but I don't think that will really cut it, particularly with our 2 dogs.

Does anyone have any recommendations on online sources where to find used
dinghies/jonboats? Either that or good sources to look in MD?

Lastly, anyone have experience with Porta-Botes?

Thanks - Geri

These are good-quality Korean clones of the Mercury inflatables:

I have the 14-foot model which has a plywood floor. With a 25 HP Tohatsu
outboard it does 24 mph planing.
