This dinghy is made of Hypalon, so it is long lasting. It has a double aluminum hull and includes a Shorelander trailer. The engine is a 2 stroke, 15 HP Mercury motor that runs well. This dinghy holds air for a few days and has no patches. It is set up to be carried behind a bigger boat either on its side on the swim step or dimple towed behind. Of course you can also use it as a stand along dinghy.
