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...

yeabutt... does it row very well???

Wife wonders, "When are you going to just buy one of those inflatable
ones and get a motor". Snarky answer is: "Too obvious and too
easy". Real reason is that I hate towing a dinghy and deflating an
inflatable is such a PITA. However, I do see a good inflatable as
Experiment #6 if #5 fails.
