[PUP] Conrad Pischel RIBs

[LA Licata]

I am in Turkey and have anecdotal evidence from 3 long time, long  
distance sail boat cruisers that they really love their Pischel RIBs.

And these cruisers do not appear to be floating in a tub of money.

I had never heard of these RIBs before.

Nautica wants $$$ to ship me a RIB, and only offers service in North  
America.
Mercury, Zodiac, and Avon just do not seem to measure up to my  
standard for a tender: My tender will be my car while cruising full  
time mostly europe. It needs to be robust, well made, and reliable.  
On a trip, It needs to hold the same number of people who can sleep  
aboard.

Also being considered is the 11' Boston Whaler.

Why consider this company when there are so many others well known,  
proven, and readily available, such as Nautica, Mercury, Zodiac,  
Avon, etc.?......
