I do have a tender, but it would take a lot of trips back and forth to unload the boat. I regularly take 6-8 people and all their camping gear for 3 days on trips. Also while building a cabin a lot of the cabin materials like sheets of plywood and lumber does not fit in my 8.5' inflatable. Its worked out ok so far, I'll take a quick shot of my hull bottom the next time I'm thinking about. I'm sure I have scratches in the surface, but the bilge stays pretty dry. I know my bottom paint is mostly worn off.
