Bro Alex,
Inflatable is not meant for high HP gasoline engines. It should not exceed 3HP. So if you have intention of placing a 30~80hp engine, i strongly suggest you get the fiber boat.
Advantage of the inflatable(as to me lah)
1. storage
2. easy to paddle
3. light
4. portability
5. easy to maintain
Disadvantages (as to me lah)
1. gotta pump the air first - however it does not take long about 10 nia
2. with thruster would be better - no need to paddle
3. leaking seam if over inflated
Anything else other angler wants to add in...?
