Who bought Alaska Series dinghies at the SBS?

I checked out the Bambina photo album, but only came up with this:

with "unmentionable" at the aft

I'm thinkin rolling it up would be the way to go....Robbi, can you please let me know if yours is still for sale...it has a small board footing, right?

Brent and Dixie of Discovery built a 'pipe' rack half over cockpit, half over engines. I'm thinking a guy could build a heavy duty 'over cockpit' pipe frame and use that for cover and a dingy.

Rick Ross and I purchased the Tom Cat, aka "Amigo II" at last year's SBS. We keep it at Twin Bridges Marina in Anacortes, Wa.
We took the Amigo II to Ketchikan, Alaska last summer. Put approximately 150 hrs. on each Honda engine. The Tom Cat performed beautifully. Rick bought the Alaskan Series inflatable for his 22' C-Dory cruiser a few years ago before we became owners of the TC. (photos posted in the Amigo album.)
My son, Jim bought the marine division of "Gary King's Alaska Series", the import business that our family has been involved in for 30 some years. Jim had been the leader and been involved in the research and development of clothing fishing and marine. Jim's first love is white water boating. So buying and continuing developing his innovations with the inflatable was to be his destiny.
I would consider Jim as knowledgeable as anyone in the inflatable industry. His inflatable floor, the protection placed at the wearing points, martial and welding system used are years ahead of the industry.
I'm not involved in his business, just a proud father.
We use a 2 hp Honda and find it works well. Rick rows for exercise. Rick going with the tide on a 5mi/7mi adventure (Photo posted in album). I caught up with him several hours later. When taking the dinghy on these adventures, a GPS and handheld VHF radio is always carried.

Welcome, Gary...looking forward to receiving the dinghy we bought from Jim at the SBS. He said you had a TC but did not say it was co-owned with Rick. Will keep an eye out for Amigo II in the San Juans.

We'll soon find out where we'll stash the dinghy...we bought Robbi's LT2 (hopefully we'll pick it up sometime this coming week) and I'm wondering if it'll fit inside the fishbag when not in use (and when the bag's not inhabited by creatures of the deep)

We're not true "cruisers" yet, but when we retire, there are some trips we want to take with that in mind (and fishing as a second activity, not primary...did I say that? ooof!) like the trip we want to make up the Columbia through the locks and we definitely want to hit the San Juans

CM&S - You ought to come up to the Poulsbo gizmo. I understand Robbi is delivering those dinghy things there.

Whatever you do, don't let Steve do any snorkeling in your neighborhood. Very dangerous.
