This is an 8 foot Hypalon (not PVC) RIB. But it had been abused by the previous owner and had many leaks and tears. I have patched them all and it now holds air. It has a rigid bottom and an inflatable keel. But one of the bottom boards has a crack. Easily fixed with some glue, and does not affect the boat. It comes with paddles. Doesn't look pretty, but is cheap and functional.
