Hi Joe. Very interesting, I've not heard of or seen inflatables from Azzurro Mare. Very good price point from the "usual suspects" pricing. Have you any first hand experience with them? I was looking at Hypalon as it seems to make a lighter boat, plus I read somewhere that the PVC was prone to issues with gasoline- especially not good with the air floor where any spill can get under the floor, hard to be noticed/cleaned up. I do like the idea of the lighter weight of the old 2 cycle engines. The trick there is finding a used one that's reliable.
