Here's another company that has been in business for a very long time:
http://www.jpwinc.com/pages/photo-culebra.html
They can custom build anything, build motorized emergency craft and frameless pack boats.
Somewhat disorganized website, so you have to look around for awhile to find what you might like.
FWIW, one of the NFO's will probably work for what you want and cost less.

[quote atvaholic]Hi, it looks like I needed to come up with some of my requirements, so I can get some feedback on which boat is best.
Minimum Requirements:
1. Has oars so I can row
2. Minimum 400 lb capacity
3. Is durable! Replacement parts easily found?
4. Needs motor mount for small gas motor
5. Stable and comfortable.
6. Will fit inflated in the back of a full size pickup
7. Easy setup (Prefer frameless)
Major Bonus
1. Able to stand if needed. Not so much to fish upright all day but to look for structure, etc.
2. Able to use kick fins to position in slow moving water.
3. Able to pack for back lakes, say up to 5 miles
Boats Im considering and why:
1. Outlaw Renegade (currently $999 + $129 for motor mount)
- 800 lb capacity (wow)
- able to kick or row
- lifetime warranty (anyone know how good the warranty actually is?)
- Motor Mount, manufactuer claims he has used up to a 6HP motor.
- its 56" Wide so will not easily fit into the back of a pickup. Perhaps partially deflated.
- At 28 lbs its packable for short distances
- Looks like you are able to stand up, but would need to be well balanced. I am not.
2. Sea Eagle ($899 all inc.)
- 450 lb capacity
- Comes with motor mount (up to 3hp)
- Comes with padded swivel seat
- Comes with a solid floor for standing
- 1000 Deneir hull material looks pretty thick and durable.
- At 48 inches wide will fit into back of a truck nicely
- looks very comfortable
- Unsure what bladders are made of
- Have heard very little of this boat and/or company. But they seem to have been around a long time
- Not able to pack into lakes. Perhaps with minor mods (remove seat, etc) it might work.
- Not able to kick
3. Outlaw assault X (1199 + 129 motor mount)
- 800 lb capacity
- able to kick or row
- at 23 lbs will likely be portable
- Can row or Kick
- motor mounts on front or back
- fits perfect in the truck
- Comes with pockets, etc[/quote]
