I had a 10' Avon and now have a 9'4" Achilles RIB... fits beautifully on the stern and also the foredeck if you go offshore. The 10' made the foredeck awkward to move around.
One warning though, my 9' RIB with a 9.8 4 stroke doesnt plane nearly as well as the 10', I have yet to add a foil to the engine but hopefully that will help. I tried a high thrust prop, that didn't help at all. Typically we have two adults avergae size and two girls, 8&10 and with the four of us, I cannot plane the dingy... its just to short. So if its mostly two of you a 9'ish will be great... otherwise consider a 10'+
FWIW anyway
