Question for the PortaBoat-owners in here.
Hi,
I've returned the lightweight RIB to the yard. It wouldn't plane with 2 people, even with 8 hp. So...I'm back to square 1. I am still looking for a dingy that allows me to get to the village to get some food, a few miles from my anchorage. - Would a 12' PortaBoat with a 8hp outboard plane with 2 persons and some luggage (say 350 pounds altogether)? Or would this mean a serious abuse of the boat? On the site they say a 12' can be equipped by a 8hp. - What would happen in a bit of sea? Would the flappering of the hull-parts be too much to stand? I know, what I want is a real speedboat..., but I want to be able to store it on board. I guess that means either to fold or to deflate it. TIA, Len |
