Buddy of mine used to take one of these out to the Prop Stop, then deflate it and go catch Amberjacks out of Fourchon. When deflated, it would easily roll up in the hatch of his Prius.

Seriously, fish hooks and underwater obstructions would tear that thing up in no time. A vinyl boat would probably be a little on the hot side on summer days in Louisiana.

I imagine that it would get torn over a sharp rock or stick, but with multiple air chambers it would stay operable long enough to get back on shore and patch it and get back out. As long as it isn't super sensitive to where I'd be doing patchwork every other trip I could deal with it.

For as cheap as they are, if they get ripped really bad once or become worn out over time, it wouldn't kill me just to buy a new one and transfer my motor and motor mount over to the new one.

Everything is a little on the hot side for Louisiana summers. I'm up in the northeast now, so I don't think it would be too terrible.
