Steve,

It comes in 8, 10 and 12 feet but most buy the 12 ' model. I have read a lot
about them and seen lots of them on the side of RVs. I read that they work
well with a 6hp, 57# Nisson/Tahatsu 4 stroke outboard. I did read that it
take a little time to get use to the soft floor. It does take a little time
to put together.

Another choice is a V-bow standard 12' aluminum boat ?

Looking for a small row/motor boat, mostly to mess around in Lake
Washington, Seattle area. Porta-Bote makes an 8.6 foot model,
wondering if this is too small for two people. Nice to have lighter
weight and shorter length for storage, but maybe the 10.8 foot or 12.6
foot boat would be more practical or handle significantly better?

Anything comparable to the Porta-Bote that might be worth looking at?
Or maybe there's a portable kayak/motor boat out there?

Thanks!
