I went the opposite route and bought an older Sears Gamefisher 12' skiff powered by my 9.9 Force engine. Little boats like that are great in the rivers and smaller lakes. I think you'll have a ball with yours Greenie. Best of luck with it!!

i had a boston whaler inflatable made by zodiac called a ZED. had a mahogany ply deck that came in pieces and locked in under the chambers. i powered it with a 7.5 honda. threw it in the back of a mazda diesel pickup ('81) and bummed around the keys with it for a week or two. by far the cheapest trip i have ever made down there
enjoy it |

Yep that's an inflatable ... A RIB is a 'Rigid Inflatable Boat' and has a fiberglass or aluminum hull w a tube around it.
I suspect you'll have a ball w it! |

Had a 12' aluminum semi v and a '56 rude 7.5....
Motor was given to me by a 7th grade teacher of mine with a rod through the block... Bought a used rod for $20, jb welded the case, cleaned the carb and took that old beater out on Sandusky bay and Lake Erie in rough water many times... My 'bilge pump' was pulling the plug under way and when it was rough the plug stayed out ... Lol Oh to be a teenager again..... Bullet proof! |
