Porta-Botes? Any experience or views

Hi ..

A friend of mine who fishes regularly from his Hobie kayak has decided that this is rather 'selfish' and wants to take his other half out with him. 

Do any other members have experience or knowledge of folding boats and in particular 'Porta-Botes'?

 

Thanks in advance.

They've been around for many many years, a proven piece of good gear for lakes, rivers & estuaries.smilesmile

They have been around for so long that if the boats were no good the company would have folded more than 10 years ago.
