Porta-Bote Use as Dingy

[Erik Karlsson]

Have any of you used the Porta-Bote as a dingy?we are planning an intercoastal cruise and we saw this at a boat show and it appeals to me as it fold up so nicely and is stored on the boat so nicely.Any comments would be appreciated.

10 footer

We have had the 10 footer on our 320 for a year. We made a trip to Lake Worth last year, and it stores well and tows well. We have a 4 hp motor, and it will plane with the two of us. The only drawback we have noticed is that stowage of the seats and transom is a little problematic for us on the size of our boat, and you are limited on the weight that it will easily take. It's always a trade off, but we would make the same decision again, a year later. It's a great tender!
