OK, this may be a little different. I've been boating in many areas where we had to carry a dinghy for many reasons. I carried a 10' inflatable on my swim platform, flipped up and tied ( my boat had 12' beam). I used a 8hp o/b on it when necessary or just rowed it. VERY stable and safe. Weighed 73# but could roll up in a small pkg. Great for exploring shallow areas.
Before that we had a 8' sailing dinghy we carried the same way. Fun but nowhere near as stable. Sold after wife flipped it one day.
