The Porta-Bote 10 foot 8-inch model, weighs in at 78 pounds (less the weight of three seats). It lays folded flat to a 4-inch thickness, 2-foot width. The integrated foldable transom will accommodate up to a 56-pound gas engine. I have a 3.5hp Tohatsu 2-stroke outboard engine weighing 28.7 pounds. I also have a 5hp Yamaha 2-stroke outboard engine weighing 46.2 pounds. As both engines have integral gas tanks, you need to factor in the weight of the volume of gas for each engine. For my 10 foot 8-inch Porta-Bote model, each engine’s internal gas tank filled to capacity falls under the maximum engine/gas allowable weight specification.
Oars and oar locks included. 2-piece oars are made from lightweight yet durable plastic blades and aluminum handles. They store conveniently crosswise and out-of-the-way beneath a seat.
To facilitate matters when traversing demanding distances from vehicle to access area, the Porta-Dolly’s ™ 13¾-inch wheels are indispensable. They are cleverly designed and install in seconds. You can even wheel the boat right into the water then quickly and easily remove the pair.
When you are ready to set up your Porta-Bote, simply unfold and hold open the boat’s beam with the aid of a specially designed 56½ inch x 2½ inch notched wooden slat then insert the two 2 inch-thick x 9½ inch wide, solid, comfortable, heavy-duty plastic bench seats into their brackets. Next, set the 42 inch angled bow seat into place. Our 10 foot 8-inch three-seat model has six cup holders molded into the seats. Each seat comes with three stainless steel fold-down supports that fit into clips beneath the gunwales and gives the boat its shape. Locking pins ensure that the clips stay firmly in place. A thorough set of step-by-step printed instructions in addition to accompanying pictures make unfolding and folding a Porta-Bote painless. Initially, setup may take some time. However, after you unfold and fold your new boat several times, you should be able to do either procedure in a matter of a few minutes.
