I also have a wife and youg daughter waiting at home so I know what you meen about quick set up. I have an ODC 816 and can have it set up and inflated in about ten to fifteen minutes. I usally set it up before I go and strap it to the roof of my Subaru Wagon. When it is all broken down I can store all of it (livewell, 6 rod holder, tackel) in my trunk/hatchback. Useing your fins like on your float tube to fish and hold your position is easy and haveing oars to get from spot to spot is great, you can also troll useing your oars (if you are in to that type of fishing) The pros out weigh the cons in my oppinion.
