I will look at portaboat.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I doubt if you can climb in from the water though.

That question has been answered on the website, including photos. I'm well on
the wrong side of 50, a little over weight, moderate arthritis, and I can get in
from the water. My wife and I snorkel off of ours.


Which website is it that shows how to enter and exit? We have both,
and use the ribby for diving; we've not figured out what to do about
getting into a bote from the water.

If you're speaking of the PB website with the firemen hauling one of
their divers in over the bow, we won't have anyone in the boat to do
that for us, never mind whether it's comfortable to do so.

The president thought he was directing me to a ladder someone had made
and it wasn't there - that's the closest the company can come to that
suggestion.

That's not to say I don't think they're the best thing since sliced
bread - it's why we bought one despite having a perfectly good ribby
and motor. I just don't expect to use it for diving or any other
activity requiring deep water re-entry...
