We bought last year an 8 foot rib that we put on hardtop. Takes 2 of us to pull it out of the water and up onto roof. It was doable. Just ordered radar this week and spent this past weekend trying to figure out best way to mount dome and still being able to get dingy up and down without too much of an issue. Also there is now a 6hp to go on dingy. All takes up limited space. I really like the rib but now wonder if soft bottom would have been easier just for sheer storage and space. The dingy is for running dog to shore when anchored out for a few days...so hard bottom is a benefit when in rocky areas and running it onto shore where you could puncture a soft bottom.
