We are going with the Porta-bote and as was mentioned we can always change. Thanks Greg for your personal input and video, I know a dink is a personal choice and so far we love the upsides of our dink. There is a boarding ladder available for portabotes for diving and swimming. http://www.porta-bote.com/index.php I just wish that the marketing of these folding boats did not feel like a late night infomercial
