rafts - or where have my pets gone now?

[Thraxas]

Rafts weight a lot and take up a lot of space in robes, fair enough I carry one, many players do as they are only sold on ss and is.

Today I wanted to cycle an area that needs a raft (I dont do this often) summon pets (I'm a necro prime) spell them up, lite self and pets, rem robe, get raft robe, wear robe, move into area, cast 'curse' mob, order undead assist Thraxas ... you have no undead followers ... hold on a minute - where have they gone? erm they didnt get in my raft with me - stupid pets.
Tried a few different things giving them rafts works ... imagine having to carry round 5 rafts constantly in case you want to hit a raft area on bh or ah? Not hugely practical especially when all good necros walk round with a supply of lvl 41 corpses in their robes already.

This effectively means that raft areas are off limits to necros ... except on ss and is where you can buy them when you need and drop when you dont.

Could I therefore suggest one of the following:

1. make rafts smaller / weight less
2. make pets get in their owners rafts
3. give all/some pets waterwalk
4. add rafts to shop inventory on all continents
5. give necros a waterwalk spell to cast on their pets

any one of these would work well and solve this niggling annoyance and thats what it is, its not a big issue I know but one that could easily be fixed.

Any help or advice on this gratefully received,

Your best bet for raft is a ruddy scale. I think it's the lightest one. I concur that rafts should be available in all the towns. The other suggestions are beyond me.
