Want To Buy: 12-13' Aluminum bottom Tender with 2-stroke outboard

[SkyMaverick]

Hi, I would like to purchase a 12-13' inflatable tender, preferably with an aluminum bottom and 30-40hp 2-stroke engine.

I am down in Panama so I would need to have it shipped.

Please pm if you hear of anything.

Thanks!

Can't help you, but do note that those big outboards are over sized for most ribs of that size.

My 13' Avon has a 50hp Honda. I could manage fine with 30hp assuming that equates to a 2/3 throttle position. I wouldn't want less, but the 50 hp is fun now and then. I have only used full power for waterskiing loaded up.

Most of the ribs I have seen in that size (12') are rated for 30 hp. Our family is big and we want to be able to wake board so I wanted to go a little bigger. 2-strokes seem to be much lighter than the 4. Also, an aluminum bottom rib will be much lighter for the davits on my L46 catamaran.
