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 3.5hp 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.
Then there's the trailer!
