In the 70's I had a Zodiac Mk ll with a 20 HP Merc. I just aquirred a free Evinrude 9.9 and am thinking about an inflatable for it. Looking in the 10 to 12 foot range. Now days the choises are hypalon, PVC, glued or welded and many more brands. I am trying to stay below $1500 so that seems to rule out hypolon unless it is a used boat. I plan on using it on bays and rivers. Who makes the best PVC boat. I saw that Zodiac is moving some or all production to China, not what I wanted to hear.
