It's actually not that much harder to build your own folding (!) 
skin-on-frame boat, also easily customized to your measurement and 
preferences. The weight penalty is small and the convenience in maintenance 
and ease of transportation enourmous.

If that's of interest, feel free to contact me backchannel.
