Porta-Bote Introduces Its First New Boat In 15 years! 14' (4.28m) Length
On the anniversary of 40 years of continuous production, Porta-Bote International has unveiled a new size high-performance portable folding boat.
The New 2010 14' (4.28m) Porta-Bote eXxstream.
The hull folds to 4 inches (11.4cm) flat and weighs only 96 pounds(43.6.kg)
The internationally patented Porta-Bote is still available in the Genesis Series 8', 10' and 12' models with hulls weighing in at 49, 59 and 69 lbs. respectively. All Porta-Botes can be opened in just a few minute, weigh half as much as comparable aluminum boats and store easily with their 4 inch (11.4cm), flat folded size. The tough hulls carry a 10 year limited warranty by the manufacturer, never need painting and are unaffected by saltwater, fuel and even battery acid.
Naturally, Porta-Botes are ideal for the boating enthusiast who enjoys fishing, hunting and sailing but lacks the space to store ordinary boats. Porta-Botes are also extremely practical for owners of small autos and Rvs since they easily stow on the roof or side of the vehicle. By eliminating the need to tow a heavy trailer, fuel costs are significantly reduced.
In addition to being used as an owner's main craft, Porta-Botes make excellent ship-to-shore dinghies since they take up so little space on board sailboats and cabin cruisers.
As for performance, Porta-Botes leave similar sized aluminum boats and inflatables in their wake only needing half the horsepower of these heavier boats. The hull's design traps the bow wave and guides it under the boat to dramatically reduce drag while increasing speed and stability.
