I'll be curious what you think of the TuckTec. It is not going to be easy to fold or unfold in the cockpit of an M15 or an M17. You really need a flat surface and space around all sides when folding. A friend recently got one, I've seen it & done it. Also it is for calm water only. Even a modest boat wake (or equivalent chop) will squirt water in thru the bow at the top of the V-fold (been there done that also on the maiden voyage). Hope it works for you somehow! I am still planning to build an Origami folding dinghy. Project got postponed due to other project priorities. https://woodenwidget.com/origami.htm I will add about half a foot and a modified bow shape to the Origami 6. Also will experiment with a fore-aft center seat, the "tongue depressor" kind as in the Portage Pram and Eastport Ultralight designs. If I were going to build a rigid dinghy it would be a Portage Pram hands down at this point. cheers, John On 5/20/21 10:40 AM, brad kurlancheek wrote:

Andrei, Another possibility is a Folding Kayak, if you haven't considered that. It will fit easily into the cabin. Mine cost under $300. About 30 lbs/ Haven't tried it yet! but it looks like it will get the job done. I have a Tucktec Eco 10 footer. Came with paddle, foldup seat, bailer and accesories bag. Good luck - Brad
