On my second RIB. Jet powered is a "never again". Current one is a BRIG outboard and it is well made, in Eastern Europe, not China. The pure inflatables are not comfortable enough for these old bones.
Would prefer a real boat. Ribs are stable but the tubes take up all the room. They puncture and can be heavy. Upon retirement I'm going to build a kit boat. Tough, light weight, can make them unsinkable, and they are more efficient, as is the aluminum Johnboat mentioned. Much prettier also.
