Many thanks to all of you for responding and I also found a Vancouver-made raft, quite costly, but, very high quality and I now know what I want....the PR-49, due to size, and sitting position as I have serious spinal issues that really control what I can/cannot do, especially in respect of sitting positions.
I also want to take this out on Kootenay Lake, 75 miles long, 5 wide, 450 ft. deep, glacial fed and bloody cold, but, trout to 50+ lbs historically. I want to flyfish the creek mouths and hunt the same creek drainages in Sept/Oct. and it gets ROUGH, so, a larger rig suits me better.
For heli-trips, this would also be suitable, but, a smaller/lighter raft might be better......
