Busters Marine in NY has the Mercury line of inflatables on sale at really good prices.

Ask for Buster. He's the owner. Nice guy.

718-945-4377.

New in the box with a 5 year warranty. 2003 model.

6'7" Mercury "Quicksilver" Roll-up $510.00 plus shipping. I think they have 9 or 10 available.

The cheapest one I could find on the web was $795.00 + shipping.

Includes pump, oars, patch kit, seat and carrying bag. 57 LBS.

They have other sizes available too.

I'm not a spokesman for them but I bought one and asked if I could put a post up here about it.

He gave me the okay.

Tell him your with the Cat-25 association. Maybe we could get set up with him for purchases at great prices.

At least I have a dinghy now.

I got the little one on EBay. Paul's price is quite correct. I got the little one so's I could easily hoist her up on deck. My big, heavy Boston Whaler Squall is a great dink, but I HAVE to tow it, and it's too heavy to move around for overnighters, etc. I haven't used the inflatable yet, but I am happy that she's still very full of air after several weeks of being out in the shop. I think that more than 2 aboard would be a stretch, but with my Evinrude 3 hp, I can make a couple of trips from the boat to shore, no prob.

Hi Gary,

Yep, that's where I saw them, on EBAY.

I happy to hear that you are pleased with it so far.

I fell asleep and missed the auction. I called Buster's the next day and he said he would honor the EBAY prices. I bought a 7'11". I think the smaller one would be easier to deal with but I'm pretty big and wanted the extra carrying capacity.

I had a Quicksilver 8'6" sport that I bought used. It was nice but weighed a ton, so I sold it. These roll-ups are much lighter.

I can't wait to get it.
