Just Ordered a Porta Bote

[CrappieBeast69]

Was at the Richmond Fishing Expo for a few hours and had been looking to buy something to get out on the lake that I could keep in my apartment. Anybody ever use one of these? I talked to a few different people at the expo and they all seemed to love it.

I got a 10fter with oars and shipping included for $1799. I should get it in a week or 2. It was either that or buy 2 kayaks and this takes up less room.

Keep us posted. I'm thinking about getting a 14' porta-bote. This way I can take it with our camper.

This is not a 14 footer and not sure where you are in Nebraska but this one may be close enough you might want to check it out.

Those porta boats may be handy... but the ladies like a kayaker

Yeah but it would be a lot tougher to give them a ride.

Took the Porta Bote out Saturday rowed around for about 4 hours didnt do much fishing as I was playing with my depth finder also. I would say that it rowed kind of slow with 2 180lb men in it, of course some of it was my buddies fault for not sitting in the front cause he was being a nancy thinking we were gonna sink. Will hopefully do another run tomorrow. First impression Id rather have a regular boat it I had a place to keep it but this will serve me well in the meantime. I think a trolling motor would do wonders for it and for an extra 10lbs I would go for the 12 footer if I had someone to go with all the time.

I have a 12' porta bote and I love it! It is very stable and will not sink. I have made a few mods such as a platform, rod holders, and fishing seats and I love it. I would highly recomend it.
