Dinghy

Any suggestions for a dinghy that would work for our little 19 with a roof full of objects? Check Tinker Toy in her PO's album page.

Rather than forcing others to search thru the list and wasting time: Here is the link to the previous owner's album.

I had made a suggestion to the current owners that they should copy any photos they wanted into their album, when they asked about transfer of said photos.

I would suggest that an air floor inflatable dinghy would be much easier to assemble, stow and be lighter weight than a dinghy with a wooden or aluminum floor.

Here is a photo of the boat in question. I would have an inflatable which is easy to unroll an inflate. With all of that on top, I doubt there is an easy solution, other than a Kayak and Kayak rack.

Thanks Dr. Bob- we will get those pictures transferred.

The Alaska Series inflatables are in the less that 50 pound bracket. It's a donut boat, rows like a pig sort of, but is easy to handle. It is also VERY durable.

You may need to figure out how to haul it by the looks of your cabin top and bimini. Mine works kind of like a bimini, and to use it, I slide it back, drop the forward end into the cockpit and then roll it out over the gunnel.
