Kachemak 230 Slat Deck Inflatable Boat , 7' 6"

Bought this boat from LFS early 2018 Summer, and used it as a dinghy on the stern end of our cruiser, while on our 2018 south Puget Sound cruise for the first time, and it worked great. I use a 2.5hp outboard motor on it, and it pushes it along at a good clip. The dinghy is well-built, with fairly heavy PVC fabric, and good inflation valves. Adequate number of hand grips, grab lines on top of port and starboard air chambers, and it's not leaking air, equate to a high-quality build, and good value. I have not attempted to run it up onto a beach, and when I do, will need to be careful to avoid rocky bottom conditions, so as to avoid possible damage to the PVC fabric bottom. I compared it to other brands on the market, including Mercury, West Marine, and Zodiac, and could not find a better value for it's size and features. Check it out.
