This boat is practically brand new! Only used a few times. Comes with sail kit, custom made gear bag and upgraded oar locks.Avoid flimsy inflatable boats! Porta Bote - The Worlds Largest Selling
Portable Boat. Over 100,000 being used around the world!
                                           Disadvantages Of A Flimsy Inflatable:
1– Takes between a half hour and an hour to inflate or deflate.
2– Punctures easily if you hit a sharp rock or stump
3– Inflated tubes uses up 30% to 40% of available interior space – 
unless they are punctured!
4– Porta-Bote needs only a small 4HP- 6HP outboard to go up to 15 mph with one person.
Porta-Bote will get up on a plane with as little as 2.5 HP with one person aboard!
Inflatables needs at least a 25 HP outboard weighing over 120 pounds (54.5kg) for similar performance
.
IMPORTANT FACTS: No pumps. No patch kit.
No more worrying about a popped air chamber. 
No more trying to stop the slow leaks that develop every day you own an inflatable boat. – Over 70% of new Porta-Bote owners are former inflatable owners who have “had it”with all the hassle involved with an      inflatable.
– RV Owners can “hang” Porta-Bote on the side or roof or underneath. When you’re through using a wet, soggy inflatable, where are you going to store it?
– Sailboat & Cruiser Owners can store the folded Porta-Bote anywhere you can store a surfboard. 
 Notice how many boat owners never deflate their clumsy inflatables?
– Porta-Bote tows like a dream behind a sailboat. Towing an inflatable is like pulling an anchor.
Reduces your speed up to 30%.
PERFORMANCE….This is where Porta-Bote really excels over ordinary rigid craft and inflatables. Imagine being able to get up on a “plane” using a tiny 2.5hp outboard. You can when one person is in the boat and at the helm. Porta-Bote takes a standard “short shaft” engine. Do you know what kind of power it takes to get an equivalent sized aluminum or fiberglass boat up on a plane? You would have to invest in a high priced, exceedingly heavy engine that weighs as much as the hull!! And remember, you have to lift this cast iron monster over the transom to get it installed.

With Porta-Bote you get performance and true portability. 100,000owners can’t be wrong!
So, you’re a sailor?This Porta-Bote comes with a Sail kit!Sailing in this new fast, “forgiving” and “dry” craft with its 
5 foot (2.77m) beam will add more excitement to every weekend.
.Portable Folding Porta-Bote Sail For the past 25 years, the JCI (Japanese Coast Guard) has tested Porta-Bote’s space age engineered resin hull and hinges. Every time a shipment enters their country. The now famous “drop test” is used! They load over 600+ pounds (273kg) of concrete filled bags into a folding Portabote. They raise the boat 21 feet (7m). Then it is dropped! Porta-Bote passes every time with “flying colors”. It’s NMMA Certified (National Marine Manufacturers Association) EU Certified (European Union) FOLDS For Easy Storage And “Energy Saving” Portability  Time Proven – Over 40 Years In Production – Over 100,000 Boats In Use Worldwide!
