Message:		Hello, I am in the market for an inflatable boat with the following qualities. Handle 8hp merc. 4 stroke (84 pounds) and plane off with at least 3 adults. Light enough to travel by plane (less than 100 #'s) Small enough packed away to fit in a single bag with all components or at least less than 100 #'s total weight... Tough hull...can handle rocks or reef. I'm looking at the Zodiac Cadet C285FR which seems to incorporate all of these things. What I'm worried about is the hull? Are inflatable floor/hulls able to withstand a rocky bottom or will only an RIB be appropriate for such things? If an RIB is the only choice is there one that will break down enough to travel with or are the hulls all one piece? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.. Thanks
