It all depends... new or used, hard or inflatable, oars or outboard?

Craigslist.org often has a lot of dinghies at fairly reasonable prices...if you don't mind used. E-bay is another option...though IMHO, you're better off buying local, since the shipping on a 40+ lbs. dinghy can kill ya.

I have both a hard dinghy and an inflatable that I use. I plan on using the hard dinghy when I'm out cruising full-time, as it is far more durable and far larger and versatile than the smaller inflatable. The inflatable is mainly for use around the local area, when I am daysailing or overnighting.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
