Well it looks that the porta-bote is pretty good, since can be bigger and faster than an inflatable, the only inconvinient is for the kids I guess, I have two kids 6 and 8 and when we are at
anchor the inflatable is the kids station for playing.....do you think that the porta bote can do the job in that situation as well or will be a major difference, dificult geting in from the water and more delicate to jump from it et.c...In the other hand they now love to row so I think it should be much better than the inflatable, and if we want to explore or go fishing to another spot with our 5 hp engine should be really fast...what about the open sea ride, is it ok how does it do with some waves?
