Contact Steve Elliott at NW Inflatable Boats (253) 432-3465 - he should be able to make a good recommendation: https://www.nwinflatables.com/

We have an Apex A-12 with a 30 HP outboard and I think it’s at the limit for what our ST50 can handle. When the dinghy is up on the flybridge we can’t access our flybridge refrigerator or trash can and using the grill becomes a bit of a boat yoga thing!

My experience for all boats is to get a tender that is an appropriate size for your needs but mostly for your boat. Our A-12 was a bit oversized for our previous boat (Sea Ray Sundancer 450) and we had issues with it because of that. I’m glad to have it now but had we kept the Sea Ray we likely would have downsized the dinghy.
