Dave,

No snickers from me. That is the very same dinghy I learned to row in as a young man, and the only one we used when cruising the Med. We did have a little British Seagull that we'd slap on along with that removable motor mount, but only for really long distances. even with the Seagull, we didn't go much faster than rowing.

Now that we cruise with a hard dinghy, I tell my kids how lucky they are that they don't have to pump up the dinghy every time we anchor. Kids these days have it so easy!!

But that little Redcrest is a neat package -- amazing the way it can be stowed away belowdecks with so little fuss.
