I'm curious, why are you looking for an inflatable? What are the advantages over a standard craft? The width of the gunwale and the risk of puncture from large hooks or gaffs would concern me but I know nothing about this style boat.

Easy to trailer. easy to launch. Sea worthy and they don't puncture easily at all. i have fished out of one a few times.
I don't want to deal with a marina and $2K a year for a slip. |
No boat, back in the suds.

Don’t know about your ramps, but I find the ramps catering to more of the fishing types like Westport are much more civilized and speedy, than say a Plymouth harbor ramp. I always found it easy if you go early and come in after most have launched, but yet to return. |

your right on going early /paul & you would be all set , except places
Like Pt judith ... all launching early is usually pretty quick ,, but getting out can be a horror show
paul you come in real early / so it would be only 1/2 a cluster fluck ....................... but if your fishing to catch ......... so many times you will have missed the bite
I remember a bunch of times you missed the pogies because you were ahead of the moving
with all the boats , ski do,s / etc that have been purchased since the virus ......I don,t think you will find a quiet ramp
If I was to tow .....I would have to be healthy [LOL] and I would fish nights ......... that not a issue around here
again some what of a issue for PJ because of the block & the EEZ

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!
