PORTA BOTES ????????????

[Principal Reeler]

Has anyone had any experience with the PORTA-BOTE dinghys/small fishing boats ?

Supposedly, they are made of a special material that lets you "fold" them lengthwise, open and close, for "portability" !! Come in 8', 10', and 12' sizes.

Thanks,

Not been in one. A guy at my marina is on a mooring and has one to get to his boat.

He and his wife use it, instead of a launch or available rigid dinghies.

Has a small motor with it.

Sorry, I've not paid attention enough to see him put it in. He heads out to a 32' Cape Dory powerboat.
