delivering  boats to Santa Barbara, Marina del Ray, Long Beach, etc. for
races and have always used the local shore boat to get ashore.

We've tried!

engine and a soft bottom or a 12' folding boat with a similar or smaller
motor (after someone on the board said they used one.)  Together we all
weigh apx 600lb so we are approaching the upper limit of the 12'
porte-a-boat.  Used ones are less expensive here and may stow better on
the raiing??  But do you get what you pay for??

floorboards seems like it would be a benifit.  But a folding boat stored
across from the kayak seems like a nice balance.
