Hi BOCA,
I've been looking around a little at various used liferafts. There sure are a whole lot of options to choose from. I think I've determined that I want a 4 person liferaft in a cannister to mount on the bow in front of the hatch. Unfortunately, the ones that I have seen so far are really large and would take up a lot of the bow. Can any of you recommendation a 4 person raft that is small enough to mount up there without taking up the whole bow?

Revere just came out with a very small 4 person raft that I like because of it's size. It is about $1k brand new (which is cheap!). I am a little concerned though as Revere has been sold to a chinese company and since the rafts are a new design, I will want to thoroughly check them out.

I know what some of you are thinking but, a 5'5" blond polyurethane doll does not constitute a liferaft.

Thanks,
Scott
