Don't worry this is about how to choose an inflatable boat
This blog begins with how I got to the point of getting a new inflatable boat, outboard, and trailer.

Why I didn't ship my inflatable to Hawaii?
I shipped our SUV in March 2006 using Matson Lines for $950 USD. Dropped it off in Oakland, CA and it arrived in Honolulu at the end of 4 days! Amazing! Other people have warned it'll take 2-4 weeks to get my car back, but I didn't get that experience.
Aha! Quick quote shipping for a large bulky boat on a trailer with my 25HP outboard attached to the transom all under 800 lbs - I thought good idea?
Nope! Never did go thru the actual shipping but my attempt at getting a quotes gave me a cost of $4000. There was even a auto-surcharge of $950, which was for using their auto to pull my trailer and boat onto the ship and off. Might as well added a car or truck to be shipped too huh?
