Small Aluminium Dinghy

Hello All,

New here, so bear with me! I have a teardrop trailer that has a body length of 7ft, and I have put some Roof-Racks on it, to carry a small boat. I would like to use it for fishing, mucking around with the kids etc.. It would have to be a maximum of 6.5' long and 4.5' wide, I'd also like it to be aluminium so its nice and light on top of the tear. Does anybody know where I can purchase a boat that these sorts of sizes and aluminium?? I'm gonna put a small outboard on there as well.

Thanks.


Alex

6.5 ft long wont carry much.

IF you can go up to a bit over 8 ft the Grumman Aluminum dink, sails and powers well.

There hard to find but superbly made to aircraft standards, and lighter than any GRP dink.
