Hi,

I am an absolute novice when it comes to anything about boating. I'm looking to buy a 10' Zodiac inflatable that I can fold up to throw in the back of my truck. I also want to buy a small motor and weight is a consideration. having no experience with motors and boats, I don't want to spend my money and then find out the motor is too small. The boat weights about 100lbs and my wife and i and some gear would be about another 400lbs. We'll be boating around the bays and rivers. No rough water stuff. Can anyone give me some ideas as to what I should be looking for? The shop where I'm buying the boat are offering a discount on their Yamaha outboards as a package deal.Thanks.

Wrestling the boat and motor in and out of the truck will get real old, real quick. Do yourself a big favor and get a boat with trailer instead. You will end up getting a trailer for this inflatable dinghy anyways.
