GL: Dinghys on the Circle

[Charles and Pat Culotta]

Linda and Dennis,

Unless you intend to spend every night in a marina----expensive--- then you 
will need a dinghy.

The big question requires research.
 If you are not pressed for space get a hard one as these are easier to 
handle and  a lot less trouble. I have had both and speak from experience.
You must decide if you need the speed to plane or will putting along be 
sufficient. sometimes it is a long haul fr the anchorage to a dock.
Exploring can be a long ride if you are going slow.
Next question will be on religion or politics, your choice!!

Consider:
Boat--rib, inflatable, hard pontoon, fiberglass, alum.
Motor-- fast  or slow, air cooled, water
2 cycle or 4
Where to mount: we mount on the outside of transom of transom next to the 
dinghy.

Hoist or not.
Fuel tank storage: we keep ours on the swim step all the time.
