when i say "on the ocean" i'm not doing a trans-atlantic crossing, just poking around inlets and staying close to the shore in calm weather. Good to hear you had good luck with them, they seem very reasonably priced, and even a heavier guage than the alaskan smokercrafts. I hear you about the inflatables, my buddy has a zodiak and loves it, i've looked around a bit, but it looks like it would be 4-5000 to get into a decent one, where i can spend less than $2000 and get a brand new aluminum.
