Where Can I get a Fully Inflatable V Hull Dinghy in SoCal/ Baja?

I tried googling it but as usual I get nothing of use. I've seen these around on occasion and I want one. My boat is tiny and an intermediate forestay precludes the possibility of stowing a RHIB on the foredeck. I've got a plywood floored roll up dinghy from West Marine which is definitely giving me good value for the $500 USD I paid but it's awful in any kind of waves.

Look up Boat Specialist. Might be one in San Diego. They have what you need.

People near us have an air floor model that they like. I haven't tried it.

What do you mean by tiny? Do you insist on it staying inflated on the foredeck?
I say this because I have a pretty small boat and I have found a large tube, whitewater kayak with an inflatable floor the best option so far. It does well going upwind in swells. They make a version with a transom if you feel the need for an outboard.
