Re: Fly-in Boat Choices
As much as I like the idea of inflatables in my years of "inexperience" I've found that thay float like a leaf and move effortlessly in the wind. But try to paddle, row, tow or push over X kms is equal to moving a lead balloon. Yes if you can get enough hp behind it, it can skim over the pond like a duck on the wing; but so can a brick. Never had one but a port a boat sounds good to me, probably not the best paddle or rowing but 10 to 1 easier than trying to row a inflatable. And the same for the outboard, a 1.5hp on a hard boat is probably as good a 10 on a inflatable.
No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.
