I prefer an actual inflatable. Lighter, also never need to worry about fendering off, as the whole thing is a fender!! That one is pretty big, too. But it depends on how you intend to use it. I am fine running my 8-foot, 2hp dink around with 1-4 people. But it is dang slow. If you want to cover any serious distance, you need something to plane out and that means about 8-10hp for two people. I put up with such a minimal dink in exchange for easy towing, and a motor I can carry with one hand.

All depends on how you intend to use it.
