I have a small 27' boat, and was struggling with finding a good dingy. I needed something small enough to deflate a stow aboard, but big enough for two people and the dog. I ended up settling in this one: HydroForce Caspian 7'7" Inflatable Boat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC8ZXTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m2--ybHYGPGD2 . It's worked well for me so far, and I'd recommend the boat. It has low freeboard, so you can get wet when it's choppy, but it also has good structure that makes it easier to row.
I had a 1976 hunter 25 last year and had the same concerns you have. I went on a 10 day trip in the San Juan with my girlfriend and I picked up the hydro force Caspian. It is definitely small but I'm 6'3 about 200lbs and she is 5'2 at about 120 and we were fine even with gas cans and groceries.

A hard transom was important because I had a little 2 horse engine I put on it. The hydro for e was the best priced and has held up well. It rolls up compact and takes about 5 min to deploy. We usually deflated but also towed it without any trouble. With anything like this I would make sure not to leave it out too much uncovered as the UV will break down any PVC tender. Or alternatively get some 303 aerospace Protestant and apply.
Good luck!
