inflatable RIB boat in toy hauler garage?
I have a 12' garage in my toy hauler. I'm thinking about getting a boat, rigid inflatable boat (RIB). I don't know a lot about these boats. I'm thinking that i could partially deflate one that is long...

Thanks, but I would want a boat about 14 to 15 feet with an outboard motor. It would be used for crashing and some fishing.
I hope you meant CRABBING. Crashing is generally a bad idea.
IMO a 14-15 foot RIB is going to be pretty heavy; there's going to be a lot of fiberglass or aluminum in the main hull, and pvc/hypalon tubes aren't all that light either. I suppose you could make some kind of dolly to move it around with but I'd want it to be plenty beefy.
+1 on the hypalon, especially if the boat will spend a lot of time in the sun. I've got an old west marine pvc roll up and I keep expecting the seams to let go. Fortunately it's spent most of its life packed away except for occasional trips to the San Juans so not a lot of sun damage.
LOL crashing, funny, that is how I drive in RV parks. Meant crabbing.
