Hi Rob, own a 14 foot and I love it. In fact that's what sold me on Portabote. I owned a 14 Lund but when we brought a 5th wheel trailer I needed to go to a...
Hi Gene, thanks for your reply. What motor are you using and would you change anything (motor, modifications, roof rack etc). I am trying to work out exactly...
Does anyone have a trolling motor mounted on their transom, along with a 6HP Nissan Four Stroke? I have a MinnKota transom mount, but can't figure out how to...
Rob, I use an 8hp Honda which planes the boat easily with all my gear and people in it. I've added swivel seats, downrigger, a wood bow plate and floor boards...
I'm in Florida on vacation with the bote right now. I have a bridle that goes through the bow grommets and attaches to a painter. For the anchor, i use a...
I just came up with a way to mount my transducer on the side and was confirmed with the way the new sunshade is attached to side rails. It's so simple that I...
All the waters I bote and fish at have soft bottoms and I use a 6kg / 12lb dumb-bell weight on a rope. It works perfectly unless it's a VERY strong wind where...
All, I have seen much discussion around difference between Tohatsu/Nissan 6 hp and Suzuki. Anyone have experience with Suzuki 9.9 and Porta-bote? I am...
Jerry, I have no experience with suction cup mount. However, the PVC clamp I am using can provide you with extra support/fixture if you use it in an innovative...
No experience with the 9.9. You can't go wrong with a Suzuki or Yamaha. Ask the mech's at your local marine dealer what they think of the Nissan's. ... ...
Hi Rob, You can't go wrong with either of these well made Japanese outboards. We're prejudiced (wonder why). Porta-Bote has had Tohatsu/Nissan as a partner for...
I own a 10' BP and if you want to use it primarily for fishing with 2 adults it's the way to go. My fishing partner and I can assemble the PB at the water's...
- I totally LOVE my Nissan 6HP FourStroke outboard from PortaBote!!! I don't know anything about the Suzuki, but I can't imagine it being any better than the...
I noticed that the Suzuki 6hp has a built-in tank which the others don't have. I haven't bought one yet, but the built-in tank seems like a good idea for...
It has a built in tank plus a hookup for an external. The motor sips gas so the tank should last you all day (mine does). I bring a small camping fuel cell...
... Don't worry about scratching it up. The hull is really tough and will take anything you dish out. I'm always surprised to hear guys talking about how...
This forum happens to be a particularly good one. But, the trouble with forums in general is that a problem that affects a very tiny portion of owners can be...
A few things. My bote was bought this year. The seats are not well made but have had no issues with the transom (and hope not to as my kids and wife go out...
Jerry, Finally I took 2 pictures of this and hopefully they will be still useful. I know that the pictures won't be posted in the group but I copied to your...
As explained in several previous posts, the center of the transom has a 1/4" thick aircraft alloy inside. The purpose of the high strength metal is to support...
Dear Port-a-Boat, I purchased one of your 10 foot boats that I saw the 2008 Portland, Oregon Sportsman show. I have owned quite a few boats in my life and...
