Thank you for your help.

I just checked these websites listed above and they are still pretty expensive, even west marine has a 9feet dinghy on sale for $699 for 4 july but don't have any sale on the engines...

I bought a used 2008 8.5' (air floor) with a 2007 Honda 2hp last month for $700. The guy was on hard times and had only used it 3 times.

Try Aakron in Palm Springs Florida (561-281-5866). I got a AAK250 dinghy and Suzuki 2.5hp 4S for a good price. The quality is pretty good. Tell them I sent you!

West marine has a 9.6 ft inflatable for 399. Its pvc and will take up to a 2hp or 21/2 hp motor. Appears to be a good lightuse dinghy. Do a search on
Solstice 4-Person inflatable
Good luck

Try baltik boats on affordable inflatables. They are also on e-bay. Really good product for reasonable price. The company is extremely responsive. We put a Yamaha 2.5 four stroke on ours and love it.

I also have an Aakron 9'6" air, and use it all the time with a 6hp ...

I'd also check Craigslist

Good luck

+1 on Baltik. I believe it is a good value dinghy. You can read many reviews at various sites on the Web and virtually all confirm that this is a high quality product at a very good price. I bought an 8.5' with an air floor for $650 and it seems very solid. It will take up to a 10HP.

Does anyone have any experience with these? I went to WM to look at the 8.5', but it is way too big when rolled up for my 280 SS. They said the Solstice is very nice for the price and can be stowed much easier.
