New Dinghy

S/V Xperience has a new dinghy. It is an AB 9VL rigid inflatable boat (RIB). This is the light version which is only 106 pounds and 9'6" long. I added a Mercury 9.9 HP 4 stroke engine with a power thruster attachment. The engine weighs in at about 90 pounds. It will easily fit on my davits. It gets up on plane quick with two persons aboard. I haven't checked the speed with a GPS just yet but it should be able to hit about 22 MPH. That's flying in such a small boat.
