LOVE ME TENDER

What do you use as the boat's tender? Do you row or use an outboard engine? Tell us all about it, we'd love to know.
Do you favour inflatables or something a little more solid? Do you carry the tender aboard or trail it behind? Did you build or buy your tender? Is yours the oldest tender still afloat?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the tender you own?
Tell us about your outboard engine? Is it your ideal engine?

We spotted this tender in the Simpson Bay end of Grand Etang, Sint Maarten.? we had never come across the Selva 50 before and hoped to meet the owner of the tender but no-one showed up so we came away ignorant. 
Can anyone tell us who builds these engines and where, and all the usual things one wants to know about an outboard engine? Tell us about your tender...

What would you have if money were no object? Is yours the oldest outboard engine still running? 
Have you ever had a disaster involving a dinghy?  Has anything really funny ever happened to you, or someone you know, involving a tender? We'd love to hear from you. Don't worry about whether or not you are a writer, we can edit for you. Just tell us all about it!
