Disadvantages Of An Inflatable:
1- Takes between a half hour and an hour to inflate or deflate.
2- Punctures easily if you hit a sharp rock or stump
3- Inflated tubes uses up
30% to 40%
of available interior space - unless they are punctured!
4-
Porta-Bote needs only a small 4HP- 6HP outboard to go up to 15 mph with one person. Porta-Bote will get up on a plane with as little as 2.5 HP with one person aboard!.
Inflatables needs at least a
20 HP outboard weighing over 120
pounds (54.5kg)
for similar performance
...... IMPORTANT FACTS:
-
No pumps,
no patch kit,
no more worrying about a popped air chamber, no more trying to stop the slow leaks that develop every day you own an inflatable boat.
- Over 70% of new Porta-Bote owners are former inflatable owners who have
"had it" with all the hassle involved with an inflatable.
- RV Owners can "hang" Porta-Bote on the side or roof or underneath.
When your through using a wet, soggy inflatable, where are you going to store it?
- Sailboat & Cruiser Owners can store the folded Porta-Bote anywhere you can store a
surfboard. Notice how many boat owners never deflate their clumsy inflatables?
- Porta-Bote tows like a dream behind a sailboat. Towing an inflatable is like pulling an anchor.
Reduces speed up to 30%.
