Maybe I answered my own question with 'unless you put it together yourself'. If you can repack a dinghy.

I don't think you can repack one of the inflatable rafts on your own. It's my understanding that repacks are normally carried out by certified companies. I know the USCG certfies companies to do repacks. The quality of the company that's going to do it is key.
