We're trying to decide on what boat to buy to carry with us in our
motorhome. We need it to be very lightweight (we just sold our 17'
canoe because, at @80-100 lbs, it was beginning to be too much for
us). We'd also like to to able to put a small, light gas outboard on
it (we've got an old Sears 3HP) AND we'd like to be able to put a sail
rig on it. AND it needs to be easily storable on a motorhome.

So far we're considering a porta-bote which I understand that you can
mount on the side of your RV; and a Sea Eagle Paddleski (inflatable).
I was hoping someone might have opinions on these two boats or have
more suggestions for us to consider.

Thanks!

For days I have drawn a blank but at boat us and others there is a
small white plastic boat for about 300 bucks, weighs about 60 pounds
and you can buy a sail rig for it too. It does not fold up, but it
looks like a good knock around boat. Of course if you want a
lightweight wooden boat I could build you one, but at a lot more cost
than the one at boat us, and the pvc boat would take more knocking
around. It's a rowboat however, not a canoe or kayak.

Ah, finally, I remember the name of the boat. "Walker Bay 8". Check it
out, do a google on it, Scotty
