I luv the Porta Bote easy transport, easy fit 2-3 People and gear but yes it will get you puffing and sweating when setting up. Most of the consuming time is sharing with onlookers . Great video this is exactly what happens durring the routine. The best part and reward is the Lake to yourself with a few others.

This set beats my Bris 10ft with aluminum floors..nice stable boat but takes a lot of sweating to set up in a Florida July day..about 30 minutes easily..i am going to het the Portabote 10..no worries about air leaks with oystershells either

Thinking about buying one on eb for our 30' sailboat. Isn't there supposed to be a piece at the bow?
@LauriShowler7 жыл бұрын
SV Hidden Hand there is a peice for the bow, i have it but don't use it, it doesn't attach well and seems pretty pointless, it adds no strength and wouldn't really stop water. had no problem without it.

I know this videos is 4 years ago but I just bought a used one. What battery did you use and what trolling motor you use?
@LauriShowler3 жыл бұрын
A 40a/h lithium in a battery box and a mim cota fresh water, this compination on 25% (pulsed power) will go about 3 knots for longer than I could sit in the boat, I did 2.5 hours once, still had plenty left, I think 4 or 5 hours. 100% maybe 6 knots for 30 mins or so. It's a long time since Ive had it in the water as really can only do it abroad, not so easy in UK.

This looks like a pain in the butt to setup!

giladhalevy I got used to it, plus I left it for a few days here. I think the convenience of being able to transport it is worth it. but, it really would have been cheaper and easier just to hire boats wherever I went, most places had them. still like the boat though.

giladhalevy a lot of People seem to disagree with you. millions have been sold for the last probably ohhh 30 years+ around the world. I've had several boats, from big bay-cruisers to inflatable canoes to yer, 2 of these! I sold the first one and regretted it so much that 7 years later bought a new one., he does make it look a little more difficult than it is to assemble but I bet with more experience he's faster! They do attract a fair bit of attention when setting up, nice way to meet folk. Like knitting, I suppose. I had a peek at your profile....whatever floats yer bote....!!!!!

Sorry giladhalevy crochet baby hat/crochet beanie- not knitting. That would be a pain in the butt to do and set up. Unlike crochet baby hat/crochet beanie which seems much more entertaining......

I bought it used on EB, they are manufactured in USA but there are many vendors worldwide. Expensive new though, I would try and buy a used one.

They are called portabote. From what I've heard about them they are fairly sturdy but quite expensive , about 2 thousand pounds upwards.
