Hank, you need to spend the day in one covering surface operations on 4 foot waves.  I can tell you that it was not at all comfortable on the north side of the lake when we were using a 10 foot inflatable.  Even the previous day when we launched on the west side of the lake and the waves were not as large, it was still difficult transferring in/out of the  small inflatable.  I understand it is practical in terms of transportation on the road but in my opinion, on the water it becomes very impractical with seas over a foot or so.  It's weaknesses in being lightweight are illustrated pretty well on a windy day.

Alan, I agree completely. I had my doubts about them but mine has proven to be really tough.  My inflatable really saved the day at Tahoe because the waves would have prevented transferring passengers.  Mine is only 10 feet, so i am thinking a 14 to 16 food would be great for towing the sub as well.
