You already know which one Al,
Excel VOLANTE 200 Inflatable Boat.

Mind you, if you do get a little one, you will have to hang on to my 3.3hp because a 6hp will be too big matey.

What about those inflatable Sib -Kayak crossovers. Carry on your head and take up to 5hp, don't think you can get Saturn in the UK but Sunsport and Arius, not sure how Stable at speed.

Try an inflatable stand up paddle board. You can also use them sitting down.

I would get the excel SL260, super lightweight (same as 200), ideal for 1 person to manage (18kg), i run one with a 5hp (will take 6hp) or a torqeedo 1003S. The small difference in length will make all the difference for storage when fishing.
Good luck
