Why are you set on a rubber raft?

Easy to transport, easy to store (does not take much space, and I don't
have a house), light weight, fits into a backpack (a heavy backpack,
but could easily carry it a couple of kilometers). Does this sound
convincing?

Hi:

Not if you are lugging around two Trojan 105s
16 square feet of solor pannles
or a gas motor
or generator
or 35 pounds of gasoline.

As soon as you say raft I think the problems and weight have just
increased exponentially.
Why not a canoe?
Cheep, light, fast?
