Well we had to buy another dinghy, it was one of those deals you can't pass up. We needed something for the bahamas that we could dive out of... thus an inflatable. Since the last inflatable we bought was a pile of crap, we decided to go the other way and buy the best. Hypalon, fiberglass hull and the fact that the store is closing in June (moving to a new location) I was able to get it for cost. Good deal!
