I'm another happy portabote owner. Got tired of inflatables needing patches,
etc. I bought the 12 footer and can carry 4 adults comfortably. In
hindsight, I probably would have gone for the 10' model, as 2 feet can make
a few more storage options available. I've owned it for 4 years and trust
me, it's tough. The kids take it out all the time and I never have to worry
about a fish hook making another hole like in a portable.

Happy hunting. BTW, search around on the net and you can save yourself a
couple hundred simolians. I did.
