| How big are you looking for? What capacity? The biggest consideration with selecting an inflatable tender is how big you need / can handle. If you're really short on space, something that folds quickly and has no rigid parts is a good idea. If you have the room to fit davits, the better ride of a RIB might be worth the extra cost and weight. Zodiac continues to be the definitive leader in the field, but a lot of other makers offer very comparable products with different features. Look at about a dozen of the things at your local dealer or boat show. Seeing the seams, valves etc. of several boats side-by-side will give you a pretty good idea of what's solid and what's shoddy.
