- 1982 Grand Banks Motoryacht
We bought our 1982 Grand Banks and it came with an Avon RIB. It has a slow leak and I have identified at least one place that needs a new patch. It will hold for a couple of days at best and then start to loose shape.
I have tried to find a local shop (Norfolk, VA) to look at and repair, not having any luck.
I am considering replacing the Dinghy just so I don't have to deal with the leak repair. It is quite a nice inflatable as far as I can tell, but just another thing on the list of stuff that needs done. We are having a custom davit built for our boat by a local weld shop, so want to have a reliable, maintenance free dinghy to enjoy.
Anyone want to provide some sage advice?
Thanks
Kurt
