Lets you anchor and do so much more exploring an area. Not to mention the spare engine aspect (not so much in your case tho)<br />Many times the Dink made for much less walking for supplies too.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-75954273952589964092013-06-05T06:46:53.292-04:002013-06-05T06:46:53.292-04:00Just follow the "old fat man"'s blog...Just follow the "old fat man"'s blog.

Not as a tender, but to entice my wife on a small boat on the water! It did work, the thing was stable and a bit ponderous. I would have another inflatable canoe, but it would have to be a really good quality one. The Stearn was not bad just a bit floppy and the bottom was not stiff enough. The paddles that came with it were crap!Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844967794207697583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-45701239257120404002013-06-05T00:30:28.235-04:002013-06-05T00:30:28.235-04:00Inflatables might not be so good in 'gator cou...Inflatables might not be so good in 'gator country!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
