Ribcraft. Made here in Marblehead. You did say state of the art. Also means pricey.... See a lot of impressive rigs roll in and out of town, as well as some sea trials. And then there are the ones headed out of town all covered up... and it isn't to keep them clean...

I'm curious, why are you looking for an inflatable? What are the advantages over a standard craft? The width of the gunwale and the risk of puncture from large hooks or gaffs would concern me but I know nothing about this style boat.

Easy to trailer. easy to launch. Sea worthy and they don't puncture easily at all. i have fished out of one a few times.
I don't want to deal with a marina and $2K a year for a slip. |

Don’t know about your ramps, but I find the ramps catering to more of the fishing types like Westport are much more civilized and speedy, than say a Plymouth harbor ramp. I always found it easy if you go early and come in after most have launched, but yet to return. |

your right on going early /paul & you would be all set , except places
Like Pt judith ... all launching early is usually pretty quick ,, but getting out can be a horror show
paul you come in real early / so it would be only 1/2 a cluster fluck ....................... but if your fishing to catch ......... so many times you will have missed the bite
I remember a bunch of times you missed the pogies because you were ahead of the moving
with all the boats , ski do,s / etc that have been purchased since the virus ......I don,t think you will find a quiet ramp
If I was to tow .....I would have to be healthy [LOL] and I would fish nights ......... that not a issue around here
again some what of a issue for PJ because of the block & the EEZ

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

Paul, this one has been here for a week or so. I think he was moving it to another location north of here. I used to buy my work trucks through him when he had auction buying business.
