Ok, no more research. Just bought one from Affordable Inflatables.
Baltik 8.5' with air floor. Will see how good it is.

For a motor - something light, 2.5 hp Suzuki or Yamaha. Or maybe 3.5 hp Tohatsu/Nissan.

Go for 6hp if you want plan to plane that boat with two people. Suzuki DF6 has biggest displacement 138cc (tohatsu 123cc), if that means more torque.

Received my boat last week. Tried it out on Sunday. I've rigged it with 2.5 Nissan. Runs good. It looks like a descent boat, well made. The seat was missing in the package, so they said it will be shipped to me.
