A friend gave it to me while we were in the navy...it just fit in the floor of a two man pup tent, had a rope around the outside and slightly curved on one end. It was lost in the fire and I'm trying to get an idea of its value for the insurance company...sorry to lose it as it made a wonderful mattress...about 4 inches thick and flat when aired up.

The smallest inflatable dink that I would use is the Avon Redstart.....the bare dink, from Defender Industries is $1598.00 plus shipping.....motor mount $299....oars...225....and similar for air pump......Defender is about the cheapest that you will find....all the prices have double in the last 5 years......I have the redcrest...the 9.5 foot model...with all the goodies the present replacement cost is about $2600....

This was not a dink Chuck, it was a flat raft and I used it as a mattress for camping. Black rubber and life-line/rope around the edge. could hold two or three men lying close (wounded...). If I even knew what to call it I might be able to find a confirming pic on the net...
