Can it be rowed? http://www.sevylor.com/dyn_prod.php?....x=68&view.y=8 I'm looking for a tender I can use on my 24' sailboat for mostly sheltered waters. None of the soft bottom inflatables row very well - *too much friction, not enough carry. *You really need a RIB or something else with a rigid bottom to row decently. *That presents a stowage problem of course unless you are prepared to tow it every where. The other issue is durability. * You really need an inflatable made of hyplon fabric if you want it to last more than a few years. *Achilles makes a soft bottom inflatable with a small motor mount which might meet your requirements if you need to roll it up. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|215570|216319|295565&id=908932 or http://tinyurl.com/5rlbzk Ot you could go this route: http://www.porta-bote.com/ |
