Wayne i was going to suggest jsut something like that for Frog's use.
Of course I dont' knwo the situation but with all his experimenting,
would it be practical to carry a flattened *inflatable, and a battery
operated electric ( or even a manual) air pump and inflate it when
necessary? *I'd think it would beat having the thing inflated and
getting in the way of things


On balance I think that carrying a deflated inflatable is the best
answer for boats in his size range. *The only real downside is that
they don't row very well. *The manual foot pumps that are normally
supplied are usually very efficient - no real need for electric unless
you are in a huge rush.


Yeah, I carry the electric because it came with a big air mattress. And
being rechargeable, it's real convenient camping...
