Thank you BarneyS! I will follow those very helpful instructions in the future.
The inflatables, especially cheaper ones, do have several disadvantages, but in my opinion, they can't be beat for ease-of-portage-ability (this mom can carry both the kayak and the boat to the water in one trip!) and storability. They take up so little space packed into their bags.
Incidentally, I did learn a valuable lesson in the trip in which this picture was taken. I now bungee the fishing poles, paddles and nets to the boats, or attach a floatation device (one of those swim floats that go on a toddler's arm works great in the middle of the kayak paddle!). We found out the hard way that not all paddles float. And fishing poles sink too. LOL! And of course I keep PFD's on the little kids too even though those little turds float. ;)
