I love my Avon 340 RIB and 15 HP engine. That will not due for you if it needs to fit in your car though unless you buy a trailer. I have always thought if I headed offshore and needed to be able to deflate a dinghy, I would go here: http://www.boatstogo.com/inflatable-boats.asp
I like this one: http://www.boatstogo.com/inflatable-boat-am365.asp IMHO you need to make a choice with your engine: You are going to be a planning boat or not. If you don’t care about speed, look on Craigslist and a 2-3 hp old 2-stroke. You can pick them up with one finger, they are easy to store onboard or in your car, and don’t leak oil all over the place if placed at the wrong angle.

Thank you. One problem for me is storage of the boat when not in use. There's a long wait list for both the Bristol YC dinghy dock as well as the Town of Bristol, so I'll need to deflate it and take it home or store it aboard when its not needed, so I think the boat and motor your buddy has won't fit the bill for me. Maybe a good deal for someone else on the list?
