How Well Does It
Perform as a Rowboat? With an Electric Outboard?
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".

Who
Says Rowing Is "Hard Work" (yawn)?
Rowing is great exercise for the whole family!

ELECTRIC
Outboard?

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
