Just a heads up on good deal on a small inexpensive inflatable dinghy and electric motor; as West Marine is running a special this month (October). If you get their 2 man inflatable for $200 they throw in a $100 electric 2-speed trolling motor for free. But you have to ask for the free motor if you order over the phone and it isn't listed on their website. It was in their October catalog (flier) but is not on the website packaged as such. See motor link listed separately. I got one and was impressed with the dinghy construction and motor (especially considering the price). I though it would be a big innertube with a cover but was pleasantly surprised to see that you get more than your money's worth. I mean where can you get a boat and a motor for $200 (plus shipping and tax which was + another $54)? The dinghy only weighs 22lbs which was important for me and folds up into a carrying bag (provided) and inflated it also fits nicely laying on the deck, made fast to the lifeline stanchions afore the mast step. You will need a portable self enclosed battery for the motor but I had one already for a variety of 12v stuff we use on the boat. Also oars and oar locks come with the boat. For those looking for an inexpensive, no hassle, seldom used dinghy you may want to look into this one. It may be a bit light for heavy use or a bit uncomfortable for those with long cold portages to shore but for the bays and protected waterways of SE Texas I found it quite accomodating especially for the price. You can save $35 on shipping if you have a West Marine or a Boat US store near you and buy it through the store. Here's the link to the motor to ask for: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=47100 Regards, JonBill
