Porta-Bote, but with a smaller, lighter outboard.


The 5 hp Nissan 4-stroke outboard drives a 12' Porta-Bote like a rocket. I
think it would go even faster if the outboard had a more appropriate prop
on it for such a sleek boat. It planes with 2 aboard, no problem!

Editor's Note - 2-stroke outboards are MUCH easier to deal with without
having to change oil and fool around with that stuff. Nissan doesn't want
you to lay the 4-stroke outboard in many positions that cause oil backups
inside the engine. Hell, you can lay a 2-stroker in any position,
including upside down and it doesn't hurt it.....
