[quote=UK Spearo]Hey Tim, was just looking at this porta-bote looks cool! How do you find it is with all you dive kit, and other people on board. What size engine do you have on it. Whats it like when the waves get up past flat calm? And how much is the 14fter (if you know

UK there is a bit of info on MrXs spearing boat thread page 4.
I also have the 12' porta, I have really given it a bashing over the years with motors far bigger than recommended. We often took her out to sea, 3 miles or more! I also tried surfing her down some sizable waves, great fun. She only ever filled with water once & that was while surfing.
Of course porta botes have there limitation's & it would be foolhardy to compare with a rib or such like. But they are serious fun
