Hi Zip,
didn't realise you were that close to me

Where do you normaly launch from??
I looked at the Ribcraft boats before buying my XS Rib.
Problem is the shipping. They quoted me over $3,000 from Marblehead down to San Diego

So a big chunk of your budget unless you are happy with a road trip and collecting it yourself
Where have you checked locally?
Drop a line to the Dingy Dr on shelter Island.Nice guy and occasionaly has in some mid- size used Ribs.
cheers Dal
