I'm looking for a small boat to take my 7 year old son out on. I plan to take
him tubing, waterskiing, and maybe some occasional fishing. I would also tow it
behind my boat to close destinations to use as a tender. I would like to keep
it long enough so that one day he can take it out on his own. I owned a 13
foot whaler as a kid and I though that this would be a good choice. I've also
been looking at some Ribs in a similar size like the Novurania 400DL, and Avon
YL400. The ribs seem to be quite a bit more money buthave more bells and
whistles than the whaler. Can anyone give me the pros and cons of purchasing
the whaler vs one of the above Ribs.
Thanks
Jay
