[C320-list] Inflatable dinghy

[Brad Kuether]

Just picked up a West Marine HP-275.  I needed enough dink for the 4 of us. 
9 feet looks to fit fine in the port locker.  Not that heavy.  Can't speak 
to how we will ultimately transport it.  Haven't even taken it out of the 
box!!!!

Looking at getting an inflatable dinghy and was curious if anyone has a 
recommendation or opinion on size based on the following criteria... I would 
like to be able to store it on the foredeck above the v-berth when not 
towing it behind. Possibly even keeping it up there for short sails if it 
doesn't interfere, rather than dropping it in the water.

Would like a high pressure air floor, but might consider a roll-up. Looking 
at possibly the Mercury 200 (6'7" long, beam 4'1") or the Bombard Air Floor 
(7'10" long, beam 4'7"). Would like the largest that will fit, but a bit 
worried about the larger one not fitting on deck.
