At the beginning of this year, I purchased my first brand new RIB from this Company. I'm no stranger to dinghy's as I've had two Zodiac Mk1's and an Avon 310 Rover RIB. What really caught my eye was how well built this boat really is. Tubes are fat and bow has a lockable stowage. Transom and tube mount is the strongest I have ever seen as I have had issues with this in the past. Repairs do not work I found out after $300 in glue was thrown away. If any of you are in the market for a new RIB, I walked away with mine for $1779 (SVX300 w/ bow storage). Two of my friends have followed suit. The Company is in Spring Lake, Michigan. They have Hypalon and PVC boats in grey/white/red. It's worth a look for someone I need of a new RIB. (No I am not affiliated with them)
 
So you're 2nd post is all about this company, product and price. This smells like and ad. Maybe they can sponsor the site and put in a real ad.
 
You are wrong. I'm a truck driver here in TC. I am an inflatable boat lover first and foremost. I just got tired of dicking around with used crap and found a good deal that hadn't been mentioned. Go spend five grand on a Achillies then and I'll keep good deals to myself.

Thanks for sharing - Just bought a Mercury, next time around on an inflatable purchase I'll have to check them out.
 
They way the transom goes together sold me. My last Zodiac I had a transom issue. Took it apart and watched a video on You Tube on how to clean and re-glue it. Did everything the tech said to do (so I thought) and it failed on the Bay. Would never consider that brand again. Avon, in my opinion are fantastic but they are too pricey and I couldn't acquire one again. If anyone out there needs the complete floor to a Zodiac Mk1 classic let me know- only thing that remains of it.....
