I bought a little 3.7m RIB with a 20hp suzuki outboard. It's a lot of fun. I'm based on an estuary with 2 other large rivers converging on it.
It gets a bit choppy at times and there's lots of cargo ships but that makes it more fun to check them out.
The only downside is I'm harboured in a small fishing village that has tons of silt. The tide has to be over 3.7 meters for me to get out and I'm always on a time limit because if I don't get back maybe 2 hours after high tide I'm screwed.
One of my tubes has a slow puncture too which I tried to patch but it didn't work. I'm glad I bought it because I'm learning the ropes and basics using it but if I was to go back I wouldn't get a RIB unless I could afford big ass one with a centre console and lots of power.
