Check out this Dinghy it has Stealth attack capabilities and the hardcover makes it double as a dockbox. Just imagine walking it across the Isthmus at Two Harbors Catalina and then motoring it down to Little Harbor.
I've got to have it, but before I buy it I just wanted to get your guys opinion, and please don't all rush to buy it or they will go out of stock before I can buy it. I think it could fit on the bow of the Mac or it does have the two tow holes in the front and with the lid may be watertight. Could it also be used as a wakeboard? and lastly why didn't Roger think of this? it could be the MiniMac, (could it hold a sail?) and what speed would it get with a 90hp and is the swamp color better than the blue, etc. etc. Please advise....

Very ugly and to much money for piece of plastic. Sorry...

Only a duck hunter could love it. Quack, Quack!

IMHO, That looks like it might work for small inland rivers and ponds for one to two small people. HOWEVER, the freeboard is way too little for use in any place that has waves, boat wakes, or sea swells. The sloping sides make it easy for waves to board the boat.
And no floatation is built in, so anywhere, on any water, if it swamps, it sinks.

There are better choices for the same size in both inflatables and hard dinghies.

I wander if it comes in super fast blue?

Ditto above - you can get the low end Sevy inflatable for the same coin - same weight, deflates for stowage, carries 2+2 okay!

How long does it take to inflate one of those inflatable dinghy's? I guess I will put one of those on my shopping list.

Thanks,
Jim

5 minutes with one of the 12 VDC Sevylor inflators - also useful for air mattresses etc.

ABout 15 minutes with the manual inflator pump that comes with it.

Called a 'Duck Punt' in the uk. Is it not called so in US?

hull, these are what the Canadian Navy needs, forget about the frigates.
With these babies, we can go anywhere. We can even use them in winter as armoured toboggans.

Sorry the Canadian Navy now only buys used boats that don't work from the UK. But the price is right.

Québec 1,

I noticed you state Lévis as your home port. I used to live there about 35 years ago or maybe it was 40 years ago but who's counting. I worked at that time on the original Ultramar/Golden Eagle refinery construction when it was being built. I was one of the American engineers that invaded your country back when they were building the refinery. But that was most likely before you were even born.

I almost married one of your neighbors but moved away just in time to avoid contaminating the local gene pool (I had blond hair and blue eyes back then, but now have no hair and red eyes).

I really liked living up there near to old Quebec City. We used to take the ferry boat across. Loved skiing at Mt. St. Anne too. We used to canoe out there but never tried sailing in the St. Lawrence Seaway. It must be a challenge to sail the St. Lawrence when the tide changes. That river runs both ways by there depending on the time of day.

Kind Regards,
JonBill

Lying low among the reeds with decoys and duck-calls...hmmm...isn't that like wearing a 14-point-buck-costume during deer season?? I prefer that they see me coming in my blue Mac

Forget the inflatables, now this is what I call a dinghy!
