Last summer we used this 8' FG dink (no name, but similar lines to the Dyer rowing dink, with a skeg, and nice lines) which we got from a fellow CDSOA member here in CT.
A REAL nice dink, cosmetically in FAIR condition (if you have the energy, repainting it will be a nice idea but it's completely serviceable as is) Tows very nicely. The former owner last year installed a really super foam/canvas rubrail (the kind you see on expensive dinghies). It has a wooden center thwart; the rear one is molded in, there is flotation material for'd and under rear thwart.
I used a 3HP with it just fine; carries 2 adults and plenty of gear. It also comes with oarlocks and two genuine (spruce?) oars.
Reason for selling: we got an inflatable (also from another CDSOA member!)which will better serve our particular needs.
We are keeping the 3HP but will sell the FG dink with a 2HP Evinrude "Junior" o/b that appears to be in very decent shape for an older motor (10 yrs? 15?) I have not run it but the former owner used it just fine last summer.
Whole package $400, pickup here in Killingworth, CT.
