Instead of worrying about a life raft, I think you should be looking at how to put no-see-um netting on all your hatches, ports, and companionway. If you can build a cockpit enclosure that keeps the bugs out that would be cool also. It can get ferocious up there!
And do forget the biting flies out in the middle of the lakes.

If you have discovered a way to forget them, please share it! It's been 37yrs since I sailed the Great Lakes, and I still have PTSD from them.

Sail off the coast of NJ or down the Alligator Pungo Canal, the flies on Lake Ontario will seem tame and sparse.
