I dive a 15 foot inflatable with a 15 HP Honda outboard in open seas here out to as far as 5 miles straight out from shore. The biggest issue I find is picking my days to dive. I utilize three weather/conditions sites online to gain a proper picture of what it happening. As mentioned before, flooding isn't a problem, especially if you put the scuppers down, but those little inflatables don't handle chop terribly well.
