Zodiac
Avon
Quicksilver
Yam
Suzuki
...

There are a lot of brands.
Just go to your local yacht shop and inform there, they know a lot more about this stuff.

We have a zodiac with a 4hp mercury engine, and we are verry sattisfied about it.
We allready have it more than 10 years and it still looks good.

I've tended to use Zodiacs over the years. They generally last a good time before they rot (8 years seems minimum).

2.4M (about 10 foot) has generally been my favourite. Easy to roll up, put on my shoulder and carry, with 2-5 HP outboard on the other shoulder.

Bombard and Narwhal are good boats too. I personnally own a Bombard. Narwhal is higly recommended, but I don't know if they build little ribs. Avoid Valiant (italian), they're not known for beeing much robust !

without the engine and sam covered it pretty good but im really want a rib design not really a roll up but a roll up isnt bad.  And the bad thing about going to my local yacht store is Trinity Yachts and they dont have any small inflatables
