As Keith notes, Winslow wins as both aircraft and marine rafts per Practical 
Sailor.

Be glad you got rid of the Plastimo raft. Years ago I went to the 1st Safety 
at Sea Seminar at the Naval Academy. They demonstrated a Plastimo raft. 
Strong young people pulled on the lanyard - it would not inflate.

Later, in the water they got one to inflate. The guy who popped it must have 
been a football player.

Givens was all the rage awhile back. They are expensive, heavy, and very 
well ballasted.  < http://www.givensliferafts.com/ >
