What advantages does Porta-Bote have over an inflatable boat?
Porta-Bote has so many clear advantages over inflatable boats, here are some of them: 1- Saves time and energy – With inflatable boats you have to spend almost an hour inflating and deflating and when you’re finally through, it really can be frustrating at the water’s edge. You’ve spent lots of time inflating only to find still another puncture that has to be repaired, and you’re lucky that you’re not out on the water, yet 2- Efficiency The Porta-Bote requires only a fraction of the horsepower of inflatable boats, which is really more like a floating waterbed than a boat. For example, with one person sitting in the 12′ 6″ model and with only a 3.5hp outboard (weighing less than 28 pounds), it will actually get up on a plane in less than 5 seconds! You would need at least a 10hp outboard (weighing over 70 pounds) to even come close in an inflatable boat! 3- Interior space – In inflatable boats, fully 40% of the interior space is taken up with the air chambers (unless one punctures).
