Looking for the most portable boat that can hold 10HP

What do you recommend?

I don't have space for a trailer but would like to drive 9.8 horses. Ideally should fit two guys and surfboards.

Thinking Aqua Marina aircat or a Saturn.

The Cats do very well with little outboards on, 10hp should push along a smallish Saturn without too much bother.
You’ll never break any speed records with a 10hp but it will push 2 of you along .
Keep in mind - most manufacturers use their own -but same power head through their 9.9-20hp range so their weights are very similar.

How about one of the Honwaves?
A T32 would do it or if there's always two of you to carry the extra weight a T38 would be roomier.
