We've been cruising around the San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands for several years in a 36' DCMY with a 10' Livingston dinghy resting on the swim platform. The Livingston dinghy has been a reliable little boat as far as getting us to shore or making short trips in protected waters to set/retrieve crab traps. However, once we are safely tied to the dock or well anchored, we rarely feel like uprooting ourselves in order to check out a nearby bay, a quaint little village, or just idle along the coast and enjoy the scenery. And the Livingston dinghy is too small and slow to go very far. And with the price of fuel, it is easer to just stay put. Unfortunately, we were missing out on so much.
I came to the conclusion that the ideal arrangement would be to tow a "island hopper" dinghy about 15' long with all of the following...
Inflatables
Looking first at inflatables in the 14'-16' range I quickly decided that their cost (approx. $20,000) was in the stratosphere of common sense. In reality, if given the choice between a 15' center console fiberglass boat or a 15' center console inflatable at the same price, most experienced boaters would choose the fiberglass option because they offer so much more room, storage, seating capacity, stability and overall comfort. And you don't have to keep adding air to them to keep them sea worthy.
Boston Whalers
Based on observations at harbors in the Northwest, Boston Whalers seem to be the obvious alternative to inflatables. I've heard all those same great things about "Whalers" for years too. "You can cut them in half and they won't sink". But I've also been told by reputable marine service people that once the hull is permeated by water (eg. small crack), the foam core rots and there isn't anything you can do about it. And their cost? About the same as the inflatables...in the area of $25,000 for a basic 17' Whaler Montauk with a 60hp outboard.
Logic/Triumph ( Logic/Triumph Web Site)
Heard of these before? The first thing that separates them from the rest of the pack is that they are made entirely of rotomolded plastic!! Tough as nails. Can't chip them and the color goes all the way through, unlike gel coat. They have MORE features than a similar length Boston Whaler and cost about HALF as much!! No kidding.
