Gettin a little dinghy

In prep for my possible Bahamas trip with my 28' sailboat, I decided
to repaint my homebuilt nesting 2-paw 9' dinghy. Uh-oh, rot along the
gunwale, no biggie. UH-OH, rot on transom, still not an
insurmountable problem, easily repaired with epoxy but this gets me
thinking once again about the "dinghy problem". Even the nesting
dinghy is too big to fit comfortably on the foredeck and assembling it
must actually be done in the water while sitting in the back half, it
must be funny to watch.
So........what to do, repair it or buy an inflatable with a motor. I
could get an inflatable from West for $799 and prob get a used 4 hp
motor for $500. I just do not know how much I will really use it. If
I truly go cruising, I will use it a lot. OTOH, I hate buying stuff
that causes me to have to spend money on repairs and I enjoy rowing
the nesting dinghy (you really cannot row an inflatable).
Thoughts?

portaboat.. or portabot. Expensive but well built and a decent tool
too...
