The best use of an inflatable boat....
Pull it with your Porta-Bote!
Disadvantages Of An Inflatable
1- Takes between a half hour and an hour to inflate or deflate.
2- Punctures easily if you hit a sharp rock
3- Inflated tubes uses up 30% to 40% of available interior space - unless they are punctured!
4- Porta-Bote needs only a small 4HP- 6HP outboard to go up to 15 mph with one person.
Porta-Bote will get up on a plane with as little as 2 HP with one person aboard!.Inflatables needs at least a 20 HP outboard weighing over 120 pounds (54.5kg) for similar performance.

IMPORTANT FACTS: No pumps, no patch kit, no more worrying about a popped air chamber, no more trying to stop the slow leaks that develop every day you own an inflatable boat Over 70% of new Porta-Bote owners are former inflatable owners who have had it with all the hassle involved with an inflatable. RV Owners can “hang” Porta-Bote on the side or roof or underneath. When your through using a wet, soggy inflatable, where are you going to store it? Sailboat & Cruiser Owners can store the folded surfboard shaped Porta-Bote almost anywhere. Notice how many boat owners never deflate their clumsy inflatables? Porta-Bote tows like a dream behind a sailboat. Towing an inflatable is like pulling an anchor. Reduces speed up to 30%.
