The Porta-Bote is probably better for fishing than any inflatable...and probably give most aluminum boats a run for their money. They move quite well under power, and row fairly well, especially the longer ones.
I'd also agree that the wooden transom is a bit better than the plastic one from what I've seen...I have the wooden one. I also plan to fiberglass/epoxy the transom and build wooden benches as well.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
