A lot depends on where you will carry it, how much you use it, how fit you are and how much money you want to spend. I had an inflatable boat with a small motor. Carried it all rolled up and in a bag in my storage bay of my 5th wheel trailer. It filled the bay which lessened other storage. It had thre wooden plates for the floor and aluminum connectors. It was heavy and took about an hour to set up by myself. The motor was nice but again heavy and inconvenient to store in the truck bed. Getting it to the water took some wheels which wasn't too bad. It worked ok as long as you kept it inflated for several days and didn't move too often. I finally sold it and now rent boats on lakes to fish.
