The Highfield 10 1/2 foot aluminum rib fits nicely on top of the rear cabin and does not interfere with the mizzen I would recommend getting the one with the bow Storage box

Agreed!

 

I second the recommendation for the Highfield 310 Classic http://www.highfieldboats.com/classic-310/  matched with a 15hp 2-stroke it is the perfect dinghy. Would also suggest buying the extra seat at time of purchase.

 

 

With best regards,

St Martin is a good place especially if you want a two srtook engine. I would not recommend an AB dingy we bought one 2 years ago. And after 6 month it started to part between the tubes and the Hull. Very bad customer service from AB first they did not want to do anything, then after a long mail connection they finally agreed to repair. The repair man said that this was a common problem with AB.

My recommendation is to:
Shop Budget Marine for an AB aluminum bottom inflatable 2.9 - 3.1 dinghy and a 2 cycle 15 hp outboard

St. Martin is Tax Free by law.

We bought a 10.5 AB aluminum with a 15 hp. 2 stroke from Budget Marine four years ago,and have been very happy with it.It has an anchor locker that is great for storage and makes boarding easier.
