[928frenzy]

Getting in and out of a Porta-Bote is not much different than with a rigid hull boat. The sides and bottom flex a bit, but not so much that one cannot hold onto the sides or stand in the boat. BTW, The 12'' model can hols four adults, and a larger engine.

The ride through a chop is better in a Porta-Bote than in a similarly sized inflatable. Also, since it''s made of polypropalene, even if it gets swampped, it cannot sink.
