What about capacity? The Portaboats can't be close to a dinghy in that
department. And at 205lbs I can sit on the edge of my Quicksilver inflatable
and it's stable. It's a model 300 (9.10') and I've carried 5 adults without a
problem.
And yes, many people find the Portaboat ugly...cuz it is! That said, they're
still pretty slick and I can see their value.
