Default Lightweight Inflatable Row Boats?

Anybody know any dealers that sell an inflatable row boat that is lightweight and compact (easy to hike with). So far all I can find is an alpaca raft which are to expensive. Reason I'm looking for one of these boats is for when I hike into fortress lake this summer. Pontoon boats are too heavy and belly boats don't really go that fast. Row boats would be a suitable fit.

A buddy and I just bought one of these each with the idea of hiking into remote areas.

I think you may want to look at Canadian Tire or Wal Mart for their little inflatables. Blow it up at site and thats about as light as I have seen. To make it a little more solid you can make a floor out of 1/4" plywood

Scadden boats are really pricey.

What is your budget for a boat?

I would say a good solid frameless rig is going to cost you a grand or better.

If you have a pretty low budget I would look into some sort of small inflatable raft that is of higher quality then those $50-100 ones you see at walmart and Canadian tire.
