Hey everyone,
Looking for experiences with the porta-bote 8ft model. I need a dinghy for my Mirage 33 and I've been getting more and more sold on folding boats. I'm tired of leaks and the weight\size of inflatables, we also land at alot of cobble beaches and have already popped a few balloons.. I don't have room nor want to tow a solid body tender. I have a 3hp honda outboard already with a built in gas tank.
I'm 6ft 4in so ANY tender\dinghy will be a squeeze. I just need a boat that can load me, 1 other adult, and a backpack or two at a time to get to shore. Will the portabote 8ft meet that for me or is it a 1 person dinghy? Never seen one in person to get a handle on its scale, youtube videos have only been so helpful.
