Let’s say all else being basically equal between two storable, portable dinghy’s except for length, what parameters does the different length affect?
Both are made of the same material, PVC, both are rated at 3HP, both have the same type of bottoms, are even made by the same manufacture and look identical in appearance, except for length, beam, and stowage bag weight.
Naturally there are few differences, but I am more concerned with handling characteristic differences;
Dingy one, 9 feet 6 inches in length, beam 4 feet, 2 inches, stowage bag weight 32 pounds
Dingy two, 11 feet 4 inches in length, beam 4 feet, 6 inches, stowage bag weight 38 pounds
So since this is a storable dinghy should I get the second one over the first, due the larger size?
Thanks
