West Marine has their RIB 310 Sportboat going on sale for 1699 and it looks like a pretty nice boat. Then I realize its PVC. Am I going to regret this living in MD? Anyone have any experience with this model? It's 10'2" x 4'11" and I havent found anything comparable ( price wise ) yet. I've heard ( and read ) that the hyphalon is better but I don't won't to go overboard if the PVC will last me through the warranty ( 5 years ) and maybe some more.
