I have an 8.5 foot Porta-Bote. It
planes with a 3.5 hp motor with two adults aboard. It is a dry
ride compared to an inflatable. It weighs 60 pounds, and I hand
launch and retrieve it over the side. I can unfold it or fold it
on my C&C 27 foredeck. When folded, It is like having a 9 foot
surfboard lashed to my lifelines. New, it cost less than half what
a comparable inflatable would run, and didn't require a big heavy,
expensive motor to push it. It also rows very well, like a hard
dinghy, tracks straight, and tows as if it isn't there. I have
dragged it over broken glass, sharp rocks and rusty metal scrap
without any damage. I can climb into it from the water as it is
very stable. Bottom line is that I would never buy another
inflatable. I'll also never need to buy any new dinghy as this one
will no doubt outlive me.
