RE: Dinghy - What type?

Electric is out of the question for me. I definitely want an outboard.
I never owned a RIB inflatible and was wondering if the inflatible portion was MUCH tougher than the average inflatible.
In the late 1960's, I owned a 10' inflatible with a 25HP motor. That boat was indestructible. It was a neoprene rubber. They just don't make them that tough anymore. If they do, I'm unaware of them.

My last option is to build a 12' flat bottom dory from hardwood and plywood and glass it.
