Liz, I use my 12ft PB for fishing and cruising on lakes and rivers with a 5hp Tohatsu 2 stroke outboard. Here in West Virginia there are only a couple of...
Used once in San Gabriel, CA. Comes with a Nissan 5 HP. Comes with oars, gas tank, tools, porta bimini. Anchor (if I can find it) and the regular accessories...
Forgot to mention that the Nissan is a 4stroke and used once as well. Best Regards, Keith www.HeavenlyOrchid.com ... From: KT To: PortaBote@yahoogroups.com ...
Chris, I bow to your mechanical expertise. You are obviously more knowledgable about these things than I am. I was just trying to say that the prop nut being...
Wow Keith, great price. I wish I'd have seen something like this when I was shopping around. And right in my neighborhood. I'm in Glendora. Good luck.. --Norm ...
Hi Stuart! We purchased ours for a tender for the tender on the 32 ft Tahitana we are building in our back yard. We had a blast sailing it on the city lakes....
Hi Liz, I would like to buy the sailing rig but with the mixed reviews from people who own it I am hesitating to make the purchase. Did I read on the forum...
I just purchased a new 12 ft and a used Evinrude 6 hp outboard. I now need to purchase a fuel tank. Does anyone have any advise on fuel tanks such as metal...
Internet is power, please forward 10 emails to the world and send 1 email to the Hong Kong government ceo@... (1 month 1 letter),1*10*100*1000..... Fwd...
I think all new portable outboard motors with external gas tanks are being shipped with plastic tanks. I bought my Tohatsu 5hp 2 stroke almost 2 years ago and...
Dan is right about setting your fuel tank on the ground before filling it up. This applies to both metal and plastic fuel tanks. From what I've read, it seems...
Moose goes into more detail in explaining things than I did. I'm not sure about the part where he says to touch the gas pump nozzle to the fuel tank before...
De-lurking for a moment: just a reminder that itıs the gasoline vapors that you need to be most concerned about. Liquid gasoline is fairly stable, but ...
Any one know where I can get the new Plastic seats and transome for a 12 foot PB. I have been told they will work. My bote is about 4 years old. Thanks Jesse...
But darn it Dan, if I take all those precautions, how am I going to still be able to hold my cellphone and smoke a cigarette? ... --Norm ... By setting the...
Hey Norm, You jest, but that sounds like some people I see pumping gas here in West Virginia. Oh! You need to add "and drink my beer too". When I see people...
Hi Jesse, Well I don't know much about at the older boat, but the new transom is not just a straight swap, the angle brackets are longer on the new one & sit...
I'm itching to take my boat out again. In April there's a 3-day fishing derby in a lake about 3 hours north of me. I think the porta bote is gonna get another...
Jesse, The transom will fit only the Genesis IV models. There were over 46 changes in the design of this craft. One was that the stern was widened. It just...
Hi All, Just thought I'd add a quick update on my first trip in my new 10' PB. Launched it in my local docks her in Bristol UK & had a to use an alternate...
Morning Stuart, The rig that Porta-Bote International sells was made to achieve the most sail area with just a mainsail. It has a difficult time sailing to...
From Porta-Bote, We are in the process of having the Porta-Bote sail rig redsigned also with the help of Rolly Tasker in Thailand. These are the folks who make...
1. Anyone willing to trace the outline of a folded 10' Portabote onto some butcher paper (or any paper that comes in a roll) I'd be happy to send some $$ to...
I would have to say Sandy's numbers are right concerning the percentage of Porta Bote sail kits purchased as it does reflect rather accurately here on the...
I can't think of another manufacturer who would respond this way. If I wasn't already convinced to buy a 'bote, this would do it. Great attitude, Sandy. Jim...
... Yes, that's the case for me. I bought a G4 10-ft Bote late last year so that I could take it along with us camping and to use in the local harbors. I just...
... Paul, If you're near Ventura, I could loan you a 10-ft that you could test fit aboard your boat. I like to take the kids to the harbor areas to row around...
Norm, I'm in Louisiana and lucky enough to bass fish year 'round. There are about a dozen large and small lakes within about a 15-45 min drive from my home. No...
Pat, Just a thought. Have you considered mounting the boat using a canoe type rack on the roof of your vehicle with the bow extending over the hood? The bow...
