Don't mean to change the subject but, when you beach a Mac as in the picture above, do you have to have an anchor off the stern to keep the waves from putting the boat higher on the beach as the tide comes back in? Can you back out if the wind is blowing in to shore? Or is wind blowing out the key T...

Thanks for the advice I will use a 12V pump

You might look at a small Porta-Bote, some on this form utilize them as a dingy and like them. While I did read a few reports of others had them and after a few years got an inflatable boat. I don't think they will sink.

Yes please let us know about your trip. that is one that we want to do in a few years. An your mod looks good.

Newb question you said that you beached your boat a few times. How did you get the boat off the sand? How deep do you think the water was?
