OK...another rookie question.<br /><br />On the subject of dinghy's. What's a good one to start out on? How much can I expect to pay? Is there a good on-line source? What size engine should I get? All that good stuff.<br /><br />Throw in some good dinghy stories if you have 'em.<br /><br />If I want to fish from the dingy, should I not get inflatable? Anyhting else that might seem obvious to the salts would be helpful.

Re: Dinghy - Good starter

Go to Achilles and Zodiac websites. Different styles to choose from, I have a rollup, air floor. May not be best for kids and fishing though. A good rubber raft, about 2 grand, and another $1500 for the motor. That's for a nice, useful one. Or read the Maxxom thread below. Search this forum, then the net for inflatable reviews. Try the boat show, look for package deals in boating magazines.
