Because the hull is so light (you're not fighting 300 pounds [136kg] of hull weight), Porta-Bote is a delight to row. The fact that the bow has a "Deep V" Entry-Level Design also gives you an added advantage. You're not pushing very much water. It's a lot like "gliding".

Want to go fast? Almost up on a plane

You have the same advantages when you use an electric outboard. Ultra-lightweight hull plus "Deep V" bow. You can actually plane when there is one person aboard using a 50+ pound thrust electric outboard. No kidding. Just another advantage you have over using an INEFFICIENT inflatable or a heavy aluminum or fiberglass boat.
When through boating, hang it from the ceiling in your garage
