Bump, not in the budget for 2020 but drooling over the versatility of a dingy that can get up on plane vs my current 2hp traditional. Anyone try out a Takacat or Trukit or similar Cat inflatable tenders? I've got two kids want to be able to get on plane with a 6hp for exploring and even fishing when I don't feel like towing 7500lbs
Finally an alternative is a SUP tender/fisher Bote Rover Aero.

A friend bought a Takacat, he’s pretty happy with it, but yeah it’s a 5 year boat max, before the heat kills it unless you pack it up in summer. AB are very nice.i was looking at takacat. but got turned off because you cant get hypalon.

There's lots of inflatable SUPs now -- they pack down into a bag and pump up pretty quickly - although finding space to inflate them on a small boat might be a challenge. As noted by others, these may be best suited to warm waters in summer, due to the risk of getting dunked. Also less suitable for those of us with gray hair, balance issues, replaced joints, etc. I see people using them in a kneeling position, especially when there's a chop.
