How puncture resistant is the hull?
Porta-Bote’s Polypropylene hull is almost 1/4 inches thick which is twice as thick as an aluminum boat’s hull. Unlike the thin skin of inflatable boats (every inflatable boat comes with a patch kit), the flexible polypropylene hull will stand in front of the sharpest rock with practically no damage at all. That is mostly why many Porta-Boats are in use off the shores of Florida and the Bahamas, where skin divers use them on sharp, coral reefs. The extra strong polypropylene is used also with bullet-proof vests, rust-proof highway signs, car bumpers and more.
