I've got a 9' inflatable with an air floor that weighs 78#. I use it for
the things you talk about. It takes me about ten minutes to get it
completely pumped and in the water. It takes a couple minutes to deflate
and rolls up to about 2' diameter, four feet long. I can just throw it
over the side when pumped up and turn it over if it lands jelly side down.

I have a four hp 2 stroke that will plane it with 225# me in it. Imagine
my surprise when that happened the first time. I like it because I think
my whole family of four could pee over the same side without tipping it
over, although I doubt if my wife would participate in the experiment. I
have rowed it but prefer not to, although it's terrific exercise. I had
a Livingson and would never give up the inflatable.
