Hank:
9' Aquapro doesn't weigh enough to deter getting it aboard, and also doesn't weigh enough to be stable under tow. It is much more likely to flip or fill with water than a heavier, more stable RIB would be, so towing in anything but flat calm would always be a worry. I have seen many of these hoisted on flimsy davits, or laying inverted on foredecks. Then, when you need to use it, it can easily be tossed into the water and the little outboard dropped from its rail mount, again, not weighing anything makes it easy.
