As the title says. I got a decent price at the boat show and put a deposit on the above. Do I pick it up?
My criteria were a bit strange. I wanted the SMALLEST, and lightest, dinghy and motor. The goal is mostly getting the beach gear and picnic basket from the stern of the boat to the beach without beaching the cruiser (which seemed a really bad idea when it is a 33' Sundancer).
I didn't want to give up my swim platform, so I actually prefer a luggable rollup that I can inflate when I need it.
Reviews I've been able to find are actually pretty positive (other than those that say it's too small), but I know there's a lot more wisdom here than on 100 reviews "out there." So, thanks for any insights.
Next boat will have a garage so I can have a decent size tender without giving up the swim platform. At least, I'd like it to have a garage. Which means Sea Ray needs to wake up to what the competition is doing with space.
