You may also want to check out the 8' model of PortaBotes - 
http://www.porta-bote.com/dinghy.html  I had one of the larger models 
for cartopping and sold it to a guy on a 35-foot Island Packet yacht 
in the Bahamas.  He said they were the best dinghy solution ever for 
small (sic) boats.  You can have it ready to go in much less time 
than it takes to blow up an inflatable and they are darn near 
indestructible.  I am seriously considering one for my boat once I 
figure out how to stow it.

Cheers!
