If you want a cool Rib you should get one of these, its a Cougar R8 and they are now being made in the USA by Adaptive Composites. 60 with a stock Honda 225

Re: Inflateable boat recommendations
I have a little 8ft APEX with a 15HP outboard that I keep in the harbor. The max rating is 9.9 and this thing handles the extra HP no problem. They have a hard bottom & oversixed tubes. You can find a dealer online. A new APEX A-8 retails for 3K and the 3 gal. tank that I use seems to last forever! Very cheap fun. Also, most insurance company's (Homeowners) will cover your dinghy if it has less than 25HP - no additional $$$. Check w/ your current insurer to verify.
