Why not a rowable inflatable?

Inflatables may offer a solution to the dinghy stowage problem but the

think we need the excercise but existing inflatable simply cannot be
rowed. Why cant an inflatable be made with an inflatable skeg so it
can be rowed. Why cant it be made with a better shape for better
rowing?
I have a ten year old Avon roll up with aluminum floorboards and an
inflatable keel which locks the whole thing together into a rigid
assembly.
It rows fairly decently but it's a lot more fun with a 15 hp Merc on
it.
