Usually takes 8hp or even 9.9 to get an inflatable up on a plane with any real
load. But then what's the hurry? The 3.5 is nice and small. Take it slow and

I had a similar situation: A BRIG 9ft inflatable with rigid flooring,
inflatable keel. I was able to get it up on plane with one person only
using 5HP. I upgraded to a 8HP Nissan to make it plane with two people
and some luggage.
