The secret of Porta-Boat's incredible stability?
Its unique, patented "Flexi-Hull"TM
Why is Porta-Bote Much More Stable Than Ordinary Boats?
Here Are 3 Important Reasons:1- Flexibility is the secret to Porta-Bote's incredible stability! This is the same reason inflatables are more stable than rigid craft. When a strong wave slams against the side of Porta-Bote's "Flexi-Hull"TM, the polypropylene flexes inwards approximately 12%. This immediately dissipates the energy of the wave & actually disperses its force by over 90%. Although any boat can be capsized under certain conditions, It's really harder to capsize one of these craft than a rigid aluminium or fiberglass boat. Always sit or stand in the centre of any boat for best stability. Of course, safe boating is always a matter of using common sense.
2- Advanced Hull Design: Porta-Bote's superior hull design creates a unique stability. Its patented concave cupped bottom LOCKS onto the water's surface. Yet, it easily "glides" over logs and limbs and keeps you dry. Even in high winds!

3- Extremely Low Hull Weights: Folding Porta-Bote hulls weigh in at an ultra-light 49 lbs. (21 kg), 59 lbs. (26 kg), 69 lbs. (31 kg) and 96 lbs (43.6kg ).respectively. Half as much as comparable aluminium boats or fiberglass hulls.
