Seems to me that blow up boats would be pushed around by the wind more than heavier solid boats.

Of course they would be great on a smooth as glass mill pond like in the video. Let us know how those things work in the ocean. Gotta admit, I like the high comfortable seating although it can't be as stable as a low sitting position.

Hobie might disagree but in my opinion no canoe or kayak is safe in
rough water, especially cold water. It doesn't take long to lose
breathing abilty in those circumstances. Don't ask me how I know.

Decided my Hobie Outback was not going o ever be loaded on the camper rack,
so today went out and bought two Hobie I11S inflatables kayaks. Test drove
the demo and wife and I both liked it. One cool thing is the new Mirage
drives have a reverse. Old Outback is about 75# and the inflatable is 35
for the kayak and 65 fully assembled. Can check the kayak in it's bag in
an airplane. Without the pedals, and seat, is under the 50# limit saving
overcharges.

These are the most stable Hobie kayak they make. 39" wide. They fish the
ocean here in the I11s. It may be out of your price range for floating the
local beaches.

Maybe a more sensible option would be a 8' Zodiac type yacht tender with a 3 hp motor. I want something I can easily manhandle up onto my utility trailer and then remove onto a stand when the trailer does it's real work.

I have something very close to what you describe. It's for sale
but unfortunately it's in Florida.

Well, hell, put it in the water and drive it up to Canada. It's not as
if you have any important to do.

When I was a kid, I accompanied my dad to a camp on a lake in New
Hampshire. He had sold them a truckload of rowboats. We got there and I
saw a bunch of kids swimming in the lake. I jumped in...cold doesn't
begin to describe it. On the other hand, I used to go swimming at Revere
Beach when I was a kid, and that water didn't feel that cold. I'm sure
it was, though.

An inflatable from Florida...??
I understand sun is it's greatest enemy...even if Hypalon. A year down there is probably equal to three or four up here.
