Absolutely. I'm 74 and remember standing on the village dock in the 1000 Islands and gazing over at a 35' Mahogany Chriscraft Cruiser with a name on the transom of "Twenty Five Grand". This was probably around 1957. As a young kid that sounds like a million bucks, who could possibly afford that I thought? How times change.

@@northwesthotspots6309 $400 grand for an aluminum boat is insane. Basically 4 floating Escalades that will depreciate away to a fraction of the original value. If you really want one of these, a good used one at a fraction of the price only makes sense.

The inflatables just don’t pop. If you overinflated them, sure, but you would have to be triple the recommended pressures. 😂😂 For my smallest boats, I have had several inflatable boats. I switch sixes to find what I like. As a 1 person fly fishing boat, so far the 9 - 10 ft models are the way to go. (280cm to 300 cm). My smaller dog & I enjoy a few hours out on the water before we take a break, then go right back out! If you like baiting great whites or tiger sharks,, haha, welllll, you might have a moment, but if it’s a RIB, it likely functions normally without one or two chambers without air. You aren’t in trouble. May have more splash on the run back in. I never have had any issues over the past 30 years or so. Brand name, no name, they all stand up unless they are just un reinforced plastic. I haven’t owned one of those, nor am I dumb enough to expect them to last. My buddy has one of my inflatables and it’s 16 years old now. No patches, holds air all season long. When he packs it up it all fits in the original pack it came in. It’s had stellar performance and it’s just an Aquamarine. The same boats as other no name brands. 😊
