I found the 8' Porta-Bote locally the day before I left and quickly modified the bolts that hold the seats on to use SS spring loaded pins. When I took it to Fort Lauderdale, I wasn't really sure how I was going to get it to Marsh Harbor but Twin Air Calypso told me they would ship it freight. Surprise surprise, when I got into the 6 seat twin engine plane, they had taken out three seats to ship my dinghy "Freight" with me next to it.

Are you using it with an outboard motor? If so what size and type?


Can you mount an engine on a port a boat?
