    KL Industries is the biggest maker of plastic recreational boats, pedal
    craft, and plastic canoes. The Water Tender would be an adequate replacement
    for a
    shore to ship dinghy for keeping in a boatyard. I have used their line of
    SportYak dinghies for years and prefer them for keeping aboard boat. They are
    half
    the weight and substantially lower in price yet meet full USCG standards for
    unsinkability. They are also listed in the web site. West Marine does not
    carry them but Camping World does.
