Hello,does anyone have a seat mod for the plastic seats. I just acquired a '06 12 footer and I'm a little apprehensive about my 250 lb "load" on the seats too!...
I wouldn' t think it would be a problem at your weight. I now weigh less, but last year I was around 245 and had no problems at all. Now that I'm riding a...
Thanks for sharing yor insight. I'm shopping for an outboard and I have passed up a couple of good deals on long shaft models. Do you have any problem with the...
No real problems. The preferred length is 15", I believe, and I would certainly go that route in buying a new/used motor. In my case, I already had the LS on...
Hello, we have changed our camping arrangements and have not used our Portabote for a couple of years so it is for sale. Complete set up including dolly, used...
The small coast guard sticker that gives the maximum load weight and number of passengers, etc. came off my PB. Is this sticker a required item to have on the...
Hi, Use Goop adhesive. Available at most Walmart, Home Depot stores, etc. The ones labeled Household or Automotive are clear. First clean with alcohol. Let...
Hello all. Weekend before last, I took my 12ft PB Camping, and one night while I had the boat beached, a huge wind came up and blew very hard all night, and...
I have considered asking a sailmaker or a parachute rigger to price making one up for me. A heavy duty sunbrella or UV protected, re-enforced nylon bag with...
I have a 10 ft Porta Bote 4 sale in Hopatcong NJ. Boat was a demo in 2004. Its in good condition, has all the hardware, seats, oars. Offering the boat at $ 750...
I have ended up with two Porta botes (older one w/o a flat back and a newer one with a flat back) and need to sell one of them (recession)...the question is...
Interesting dilemma. It might be much more difficult a choice...say....if you had a Genesis III and a Genesis IV. I've owned the old 'double-ender' style,...
Why worry about a trailer when you can transport in the back of your pick-up? See my photos in "Pickup Bed transportation of PB&flooring" this album. You...
Hi Walt, For what it's worth, my opinion is 100% in line with yours....get rid of the older Bote ASAP. Above everything else, max motor capacity is like,...
I used a 4 HP Merc on mine, and it got really squirrely when I tried to get it up on plane. It just generally felt far less stable, even than my 10 ft Genesis...
I have an older porta bote (wooden seats, "double-ender", etc) that I'm selling because I ended up with two porta botes. The bote comes with oars and a home...

Hi Walt, Would appreciate if you don't gloat on how you made money off me when you sold me your double ender. Sure I probably fell for your intergrity of...
Hey Sandy: I wasn't gloating....and...after I posted it, I recalculated it....and realized that I'd bought it at U.S. dollars, not Canadian (back when the Can...
Hi folks, Just thought i'd let you know that i've put some pics in the gallery of my first fishing trip in my bote last year on June 16th, the start of the...
