About half the cost of an inflatable the same length. Without those
fat tubes, it's a lot roomier, too.
Also needs far less power to plane, so there is a additional big
savings on the engine for it.
What's the hull material on those folding boats?
Never mind...found out.

The photos I saw looked as if there was no flotation on the boats.
Is that the case?- Hide quoted text -

Threre is also a chunk of closed cell stuck to the transom. .These
