An option that I've been told works well is to hoist the bow up the mast with a halyard to assemble or disassemble. Since I use the halyard already, that makes a lot of sense, though I suspect the center seat still needs to go in first.
What I've done is assemble our 12'6" (all wood, maybe 15 years old) across our bow. Once the center seat and transom are on, I splash and put the other
seats in
Side issue: On the Chesapeake, many find the PortaBote so easy to row that they don't bother mounting their outboards unless they're going long distance.
