Hey guys, I have a passion for small boats (within the 8-12 ft category) I like the compact nature, and maneuvering abilities. I currently have an intex seahawk inflatable boat and love the thing. The only problem is that with it being inflatable, I know it won't last forever. I'm already still looking into my next boat and there are things that I love about inflatables that I would like to find in a rigid boat as well. If you guys can suggest a few brand named small boats that fit anything close to these criteria please post em up. Oh yea, and cost is not a concern (as long as it isn't produced by nasa).
1) max payload of at least 550 (calculated for what I'll be bringing)
2) between 8-12 ft in length
3) bench style seats only
4) 3 person capacity
5) rigid hull material
So far the closest thing I can find with these perameters is this boat:

It's pretty much what I'm looking for, but I want to know what else is out there as well.
Anything else like this out there? I prefer the stability of a non singular v-hull but it's not a necessity.
