We purchased our Avon 10RIB in a boat show back in 1986-87. Hypalon of course. As I type, the boat sits in its chocks on the bow of our 40’ shrink wrapped Silverton.
I had one repair made over 10 years ago. It was to replace a glued on towing ring that I originally installed (pair, one on each bow side) and I ripped off with towing the motor equipped dinghy in rough water. So the dinghy is at least 32 years old and still going strong.
Friends are into their 3 & 4th PVC dinghies.
