Wow, the dingy discussion is just like those we have about single vs twin
engines or anchors.
Marin posted an excellent set of questions (e.g. how are you going to use
the dingy) that should be the basis of selection. In our case we bought a
10.4 Avon sport boat with a plywood floor when we started cruising aboard
our sailboat in 1991. Since we traveled offshore and across oceans, I felt
we needed to deflate and store the dingy. After more then 12 years
(including two in BC & Alaska) and 4 more years here in San Francisco, the
Avon is still in great shape (despite the Oysters in the PNW) to include the
plywood floorboards. If we are to remain in SF Bay or at most travel back
up to the PNW, I'll continue to use the Avon until it finally dies, but
would likely replace it with some sort of RIB. In the meantime it fits the
bill.
